In my live @CBCNews interview, I said that #Putin claims that Ukrainian government & military are Nazis are false & used to justify invasion. #Azov that was organized by neo-Nazi Patriot of #Ukraine is 1 unit. But its ex-leader threatened #Zelensky against peace deal with #Russia
@CBCNews I said in my @CBCNews TV interview that #azovregiment is small % of #Ukrainian forces. But my academic studies show that far right has outsize power. #Zelensky abandoned his election promise of peaceful conflict resolution in part because of threats from far right in #Ukraine.
My peer-reviewed article "The far right, the Euromaidan, and the Maidan massacre in Ukraine." #Ukraine researchgate.net/publication/33…
My paper, entitled "The Far Right in Ukraine During the “Euromaidan” and the War in Donbas," was presented at Annual Meeting of American Political Science Association in Philadelphia. Its updated version is conditionally accepted by peer-reviewed journal.

"“Security guarantees and neutrality, non-nuclear status of our state. We are ready to go for it. This is the most important point,” Zelenskyy said. Zelenskyy said Ukraine refused to discuss certain other Russian demands, such as the demilitarization of the country." 2/

#Zelenskyy "ruled out trying to recapture all Russian-held territory by force, saying it would lead to a third world war, and said he wanted to reach a “compromise” over the eastern Donbass region, held by Russian-backed forces since 2014." 3/

@CBCNews has written extensively about conflict in his native Ukraine. Like all wars, this one will end someday. Katchanovski said Ukrainians are counting on something like a Marshall Plan for their country - a massive injection of foreign capital to fund the country's post-war recovery 2
My @CBCNews interview: "It would be very helpful to access private money," said Katchanovski, pointing to private fundraising efforts that already have raised significant amounts of money, such as the one organized by Ukrainian-American Mila Kunis 3/ #Ukraine #Russia #Ukrainians

Yes. I suggested in my interviews and publications before & after start of #RussiaUkraineWar that granting #Ukraine EU membership prospects in exchange for neutrality & ending #Donbas war could be crucial element of peaceful resolution of #UkraineRussiaConflict

#UkraineRussiaWar
"Such an agreement could offer Ukraine a path to membership in the EU, provided it fulfills accession criteria—... democracy, the rule of law, human rights—in exchange for agreeing not to seek NATO membership and to resolve the conflict in the Donbas..." canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
"A peaceful conflict resolution can be done via an international agreement that offers Ukraine European Union membership prospects provided that it fulfills accession criteria [democracy] in exchange for neutral status and resolving the conflict in Donbas" truthout.org/articles/lies-…

Democracy: All #Ukrainian TV news channels now must broadcast United News marathon around clock. #Zelensky signed decree on "single information policy" in #Ukraine. It's "implemented by merging all national TV channels" that have news programs & analytics.
