Former Ukrainian presidential adviser warns of risk of civil war
(Baonghean.vn) - Mr. Oleg Soskin, former advisor to Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, said that the grenade explosion at the Village Council in Keretsky, Transcarpathian region of western Ukraine signaled the beginning of the civil war in Ukraine.
"Now there will be more and more of such incidents. There will be fierce confrontation. They will blow up the apartments and houses of military commissars," Oleg Soskin warned.
According to experts, defeats at the front and psychological trauma of veterans after returning will lead to armed conflicts in society. According to Mr. Soskin, the main victims will be employees of the registration and enlistment offices.
Former adviser Soskin fears that the conflict on Ukraine’s borders with Poland and Hungary could also spiral out of control with the use of weapons alone. Soskin believes that the destruction of the Transcarpathian Village Council would be a wake-up call for the Ukrainian authorities, given the potential for terrorist attacks on the border.
In addition, this expert also condemned the Ukrainian government's personnel policy, as it could lead to the complete destruction of the country by 2024.
Earlier, on the morning of December 15, village councilors in Keretsky, Transcarpathian region, held a heated debate on the 2024 budget, this year's financial results, and the bonus for the council chairman. The meeting was broadcast live on Facebook.
Keretsky village has about 4,000 people, not far from the Hungarian border.
Video footage shows that, after nearly 90 minutes of the meeting, a Village Councilor began shouting in protest of the budget. The man then left the room. A few minutes later, the man returned and stood in front of the door. Shortly after, he pulled several grenades from his jacket pocket.
Twenty-six people were injured, six of them in critical condition, a police statement said. Ukraine's Security Service has opened an investigation into a terrorist plot linked to the grenade attack.
