The fundamental forecast that followed the analysis of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine in autumn 2014 is becoming a reality, Alexander Kolomiets, President of the Center for European and Transatlantic Studies, told ArmInfo.
"My colleagues and me supposed that the new parliament of Ukraine cannot adequately perceive and assess the geopolitical situation around 'Ukraine crisis,' which will inevitably result in deep political crisis by March, after three-four months of the new parliament's functioning," he said.
According to Kolomiets, there is a fundamental postulate suggesting that reforms are impossible in the country in the state of war. Progress, peace and welfare are impossible without security and stability and it was war in the east of Ukraine that has led to severe political crisis.
Kolomiets says the constitutional authorities have lost their legitimacy while Petro Poroshenko has almost abandoned the idea of liberating the country, which is nothing but violation of the Constitution of Ukraine and the president's oath. In this light, the expert said, the strategic situation implies nothing but voluntary resignation of the man who is not 'the president of Ukraine,' but, as he said in public, is "the president of peace."
"The government has proved politically and strategically impotent, torn from the inside by the personal and factional infighting. The situation deteriorated after part of the constitutional powers were transferred under control of the IMF amid disastrous economic and industrial situation in the country," the political expert said.
Kolomiets says the parliament has already faced a true collapse, with the following formal collapse of the coalition and the government. Snap parliamentary elections may become a way out of the situation, but elections in the country that is in the state of war are hardly possible. In this light, the calls for setting up a "Committee of National Liberation" that will assume power in Ukraine are becoming louder and more distinct.
