Thank you Olivier for your courageous stand against Putin’s criminal regime and for the people of Ukraine struggling with this regime, for their freedom and fair governance. Just a couple remarks.
« − Recognise, based on article 49 of the EU treaty, that Ukraine is entitled to seek full membership of the EU. » Not that fast, because eastern regions of the country aren’t « ripe » enough to understand that EU brings great advantages and not damage, to Ukraine. Russian propaganda is too much accessible and acceptable in Ukraine, especially in the country’s east and south. Association with EU is the best solution for now.
« − Allow Ukrainian citizens to pass freely through EU borders by abolishing, with immediate effect, the visa rules currently in place. » Don’t you think criminals, organized crime or so called titushki wouldn’t benefit from such abolition at expense of EU’s stability? Do you think Europe is not full enough of FSB agents? I think visas should be abolished or least eased for certain categories of Ukrainian citizens: students of all types of school, scholars, for those who have relatives in EU countries, and non-corrupt politicians and businessmen. For oligarchs, Yanukovych government, Party of Regions, and of course FSB-SBU agents, berkuts and so on people visa regime should be not only enfoced, but visas should be denied to them, in addition to freezing their bank accounts, as you propose.
The same situation is about Russia: visa regime should be enforced in the harshest way for FSB, police and all those involved into atrocities and persecutions.
Sincerely,
Nadia Banchik
