Oleg Tsarev: Russia Already Has the Right to Not Recognise the Results of Ukraine’s 2019 Presidential Elections
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine officially refused to register Russian observers for elections. In addition to his, the Central Election Commission of Ukraine earlier closed polling precincts in Russia. The politician and former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleg Tsarev considers that for these reasons Russia can already announce the decision to not recognise the results of presidential elections in Ukraine.
“We can see how the position of Kiev changes over time. After ‘Maidan’ the current Ukrainian government was overjoyed – after all, they received power, and they were very much afraid of losing this power. They were ready to hand over Crimea and Donbass just for the purpose of remaining in Kiev with the opportunity to access financial flows and to steal.
It is for this reason that Turchynov and his environment tried not to notice the events in Crimea in 2014. I remember these same spring events in Donbass, when the leaders of military units said: ‘As soon as Russia gives the order, we will immediately turn our weapons towards Kiev’.
But time passed, and Kiev’s position changed. ‘Minsk-1’ and ‘Minsk-2’ were signed by Ukraine only after ‘cauldrons’. And then the Ukrainian authorities publicly renounced the obligations that they assumed within the framework of the Minsk Agreements.
Presidential elections will now take place in Ukraine. There is no freedom of speech, it is impossible to carry out an actual competitive fight within the framework of the electoral campaign. Ukraine took away the right of Ukrainian citizens living in Russia to participate in elections, which is enshrined in the Constitution. Already this gives the chance to recognise these elections as invalid in the Constitutional Court.
The refusal to let Russian observers survey the course of elections grants the Russian Federation the right to declare that it may not recognise the results of these elections. At minimum, this statement would later give the chance, depending on the results – whether Poroshenko will be re-elected or not, to decide whether or not to agree with the results and whether or not to recognise the new president. I consider that if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation made such statement, it would be proper.
Of course, I understand the confusion of Russian politicians: recognising or not recognising the results of these elections before they happen isn’t absolutely correct. But, nevertheless, the Constitution of Ukraine has already been violated, because a considerable part of the citizens of Ukraine have been deprived of their constitutional right and Russia was deprived of the opportunity to verify the counting of votes. And in this context the statement about violations during elections and, as a result, their illegality looks quite logical.
In general Russia had to decide what to do vis-a-vis the Ukrainian question a long time ago. I spoke with Russian politicians, they laugh at Ukraine: Kiev is at war with Russia for the fifth year, sustains losses, and Russia still hasn’t turned up at this war. But such a position isn’t really good because the inhabitants of the DPR and LPR are its hostages: people still die, and it is impossible to say that Russia thus loses nothing.
That’s why it is necessary to decide on things, because a situation where Ukraine is at war with Russia, but Russia isn’t at war wit Ukraine, isn’t really favorable first and foremost to Moscow”.
