The Presidential Secretariat blames Russia for its attempts to stir up activities of anti-Ukrainian forces in Ukraine.This is said in the comments of President’s deputy chief of staff Andriy Kyslynskiy, publicized by the President’s press-office.
A.Kyslynskiy
noted that Russian political circles have been actively trying to
revive the scales of interference into eleciton campaigns unmatched
since the year 2004.
“Today Russian political circles are
creating an organzational basis for a revenge of political forces and
ideas that lost four years ago. The same took place in 2004, when a
so-called Russian Club was operating in Ukraine and was a source of
anti-Ukrainian statements. It also organized numerous provocations
against presidential candidate Victor Yushchenko.
On September
4-6, they plan to hold a measure that is due to become a kind of defile
of anti-Ukrainian figures and positions during September 4-6.
“Ukraine-Russia:
Problem Pages of Common History” conference is being organized by a
so-called Humanitarian Ukrainian-Russian Council, 2000 and Izvestiya
newspapers, at the expense of a Russian Federation State Program of
Assistance to Compatriots Abroad. There is no secret that this program
is directly connected with the RF Foreign Reconnaissance Service”,
A.Kyslynskiy claimed.
In line with working documents of the
conference, it is planned to discuss rather provocative topics:
estimation of “hunger in USSR”, “revision of results of the World War
II”, “problem issues of teaching common Ukrainian-Russian history in
educational establishments”.
“Considering the systematic
character of acitvities of the Russian circles supporting the “fifth
column” in Ukraine, this conference is a challenge to all
national-democratic forces”, A.Kyslynskiy claimed.
