Leonid Gozman: Putin Decided To Start Another War

The proclamation of "Little Russia" on the territory of Ukraine, with the exception of the Crimea, is not just another farce.

Russian opposition leader Leonid Gozman has written that on Facebook.

In his opinion, the Russian leadership decided to stop imitating attempts of a peaceful settlement and to launch a big war.

"The high turnout at the elections of Putin in March 2018 will be paid for with blood," – the politician wrote.

We remind that on July 18, leader of the self-proclaimed "DPR" Alexander Zakharchenko announced the creation of a "new Little Russia state". The capital city of Zakharchenko's formation will become the occupied Donetsk, and the state flag – the flag of Bogdan Khmelnitsky. Kiev, in his words, will remain "a historical and cultural center without the status of the capital city."
