Ukraine needs a new Russia. Why is it important for us to influence what is happening in the neighborhood

Support for any kind of Russian opposition is in favor of Ukraine. Otherwise, we will have to fight with a neighbor for a very, very long time, the political scientist and psychologist Alexei Arestovich predicts. After our victory, the Russian Federation itself will not go anywhere. Whatever form it may have, we still have to live nearby.

Today's Russian Federation is moving chauvinism, resaity and desire for revenge for the collapse of the Union, for losing at the front, for rejection of it by Ukraine and the West in general. Without changing the paradigm in the Russian Federation, we will have to fight it for a very long time. Is it possible to change the paradigm? So. To do this, other people governed by other motives should come in Russia. Are there such people among Russian citizens? So.
