The second anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine resulted in a full lot of publication of comments and assessments in the media, but it would be hard to find in them a deeper reflection on the origin of the conflict and its conclusion.
The predominant, two-year-old propaganda specified as “Ukraine fights for freedom not only its own but the full world” (although 2/3 of this planet silently supports Russia or is neutral), “this war is simply a manifestation of the madness and neo-imperial obsessions of Vladimir Putin”, “if Ukraine dies, then Poland and the full Europe will be next, and possibly the full world”, “war with Russia is inevitable, in 2-3 years, in 5 or 10 years”, “the only aid to Ukraine is the transportation of western weapons and ammunition.”
On the cover of the magazine “Plus Minus” a Russian shoe treads an innocent Ukrainian yellow-blue flower, and the graphic “Gazeta Wyborcza” for an interview with the leading ambassador of Ukraine in Poland, Paul Kowal, beats the eyes with the approaching red eye and the large title “MORE AMUNICE”. And in the “speaker” of this hysterical intelligence we have the main thought of the Blacksmith: “I am not certain of anything like the providence of God and the fall of Russia.” Not to establish peace or even to preserve Ukrainian statehood, not to end fratricidal slaughter, but to “fall of Russia”. In this 1 message we have as in lens the full sense of this war within the meaning of alleged friends of Ukraine, who in fact are its enemies and evil spirits. If the only conclusion reached by the alleged political and journalistic elite in Poland is the slogan – more weapons and ammunition and not a step back – then the image that appears to us is truly grim. Not 1 comment or analysis in another spirit, not even those who uncertainty Ukraine's "winner" – they besides hit the war tarabans.
I've been waiting for anyone to talk differently from the actual message. Will anyone say loudly that this war had 2 phases – the first we can call the “war Putin”, but since April 2022 – it is already the “war of Zelenski”. Ridiculous? Let us quote Ukrainian, opposition to the current authorities, strana.ua portal, which in an extended analysis of this war wrote these words:
"Putin already realized in March 2022 that the first plan had failed, so he tried to end the war very rapidly through Istanbul agreements on rather mild conditions for Ukraine (including the withdrawal of troops to the borders on 24 February). But Kiev and the West refused to compromise, seeing the possible of Russia's military defeat. Let us callback that according to the draft war-end agreement, which was prepared for talks in Istanbul in late March 2022, The Russian Federation was prepared to retreat its troops to the line on 24 February 2022 in exchange for the neutral position of Ukraine. But, as the head of the Ukrainian negotiating group said, David Arachamithe Ukrainian authorities refused to sign this agreement. According to him, Boris Johnson, who came to Kiev in early April, was against it."
This fact is confirmed by practically all sources, not only Russian, but besides Turkish and Western, and by the authorities themselves in Kiev. Thus, the president of Ukraine, either consciously or under the force of the West, chose to proceed the war on the basis of a false hope for Ukraine's full victory, including the reflection of Crimea. He met the expectations of the United States and the United Kingdom, who did not want to end the war so rapidly and under specified conditions. From now on it is simply a war not so much in defence of the Ukrainian statehood, but in the interests of the West, which considered it an excellent chance for the maximum weakening of Russia. In the name of this “idea”, tens of thousands (some say respective hundred) of Ukrainian soldiers have already died. Is there more to die?
When the anniversary failed, the news from the fresh York Times came from overseas that:
"CIA helped make 12 secret bases in Ukraine. These centres are to form the basis for intelligence operations carried out in Russia. The paper states that American presence in Ukraine "could influence Putin's decision to attack". 12 classified locations along the border with Russia are part of a CIA-supported spy base network built in the last 8 years in Ukraine. According to The fresh York Times, the centers are “a listening position” where information is collected from Russia. As the paper reports, it's part of the operation against Russia. The CIA was besides expected to train agents in Russia, Europe, Cuba and another places where the Kremlin is very active. The fresh years are the decisive improvement of the Ukrainian cell, which occurred after 2016. The CIA was then to begin creating an elite “Unit 2245”, 1 of the tasks of which was to capture Russian communication equipment, to hack into command systems and intercept encrypted correspondence.”
This is just a confirmation of the opinion that Ukraine had become a de facto NATO member, formally not in it. After all, in 2007 Vladimir Putin warned the West against moving NATO east, and in 2008 William Burns, The then US Ambassador to Moscow warned that Ukraine's entry into NATO would be crossing all red lines. Ignoring this fact, ignoring possible threats and “testing” bear patience—was highly irresponsible and put Ukraine and the planet at hazard of the outbreak of planet War III. At the turn of 2021 and 2022, the U.S. rejected all Moscow's key proposals, not even attempted negotiations. present it is explained that Russia had no right to question the will of the Ukrainian people to be in NATO and Western structures. Only it was not the “will of the Ukrainian people”, but the Kiev elite of power totally dependent on the US. Zelenski was elected president of Ukraine with Russian-speaking voices of east Ukraine, who wanted to end the conflict with Russia and peace. Millions of Ukrainians who voted for Zelenski did not want to go to NATO wanted peace with Russia.
Refusing the atomic power to make demands on its own safety (even if its concerns are exaggerated) is simply a manifestation of pride or smells of average war provocation. At that crucial minute in history, 1 simple declaration from the West and Ukraine was sufficient: Ukraine BEING NEUTRAIL STATE. If it were to die, it's very doubtful that Putin would decide on a strength solution.
