Zhirinovsky thinks Ukraine should split into Orthodox, Catholic parts

MOSCOW. Jan 23 (Interfax) - Liberal Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky believes there will be no peace in Ukraine until it splits into the Eastern and Western parts.

"Russians and Russified Ukrainians, and Westerners, who always live in Austro-Hungary, will always be enemies. The only solution is to divide Ukraine based on the civilization principle: Catholics in the West and Orthodox Christians in the East. Otherwise this bloodbath will last a long time," Zhirinovsky told reporters on Wednesday.
