The war in Ukraine – the savior from hell

It’s on its own You must have. But it’s usually not as insanely brutal as what Ukrainian “Russian culturalists” have received from Russia’s belligerent president, Vladimir Putin. In official Russian rhetoric, the “special military operation” in Ukraine is a liberation project, to save people from Ukrainian “Nazism,” and to prevent what Putin calls the Ukrainian “genocide” of those Ukrainians whose mother tongue is Russian.

But rather To get to the predominantly Russian-speaking Ukrainians who are historically “culturally Russian” in the east and south are liberating, it is precisely these people who die and suffer most in the war. It is they who should be bombed in the first place for political reasons. The war is being waged on the Russian side with fury and an appalling degree of violence. Anger and violence mean that it is precisely the Ukrainians whom Putin was supposed to win over to his side, and who are now openly turning their backs on him.

The numbers speak for themselves. Because even after Russia started the war in Ukraine in 2014, annexing Crimea, and going to war in the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces, the mood was not categorically anti-Russian. In the east, in Donetsk and Luhansk, 53 percent of Ukrainians had a positive attitude toward Russia, while in the south, in Kherson and Zaporozhye, the figure was 45 percent. Some also wanted a union with Russia, in Luhansk 22 percent, and in Kherson 11 percent, according to figures from the Moscow Times.

But then The great invasion attempt begins in February, and we find a fundamental change in attitudes. In May, four percent of Ukrainians in the east had a positive attitude toward Russia, while in the south the figure dropped to one percent. At the same time, the attitude towards NATO has changed. Sixty-nine percent of Ukrainians in the east wanted to join the coalition, while 81 percent of those in the south wanted it, up from 36 and 48 percent respectively before the invasion.

also support Russian as a language has been lost in that part of Ukraine where Russian has historically been the dominant language. 53 percent of Ukrainians in the east, and 68 percent of Ukrainians in the south now say Ukrainian is their mother tongue. Despite the fact that the Russian language is actually the native language of the vast majority of these Ukrainians. A prime example of this is President Volodymyr Zelensky himself, who speaks Russian as his native language, and learned Ukrainian well first as a more or less adult.

language was Which was the main argument of the Russian-Ukrainian culture in the east and south, to support pro-Russian parties, such as the Party of Regions of former President Viktor Yanukovych. It was he who had to flee during the revolution in 2014. Language was the main argument of people in Crimea during the annexation in the spring of 2014, and those who supported the Russian-backed uprising in Donetsk and Luhansk. The new rulers wanted to remove Russian as an official language, and in 2014 this stirred up pro-Russian attitudes in Crimea and in the east.

figuratively speaking So it can be said that Putin has shot to tearing support for the language he says he was supposed to spare for “Russian cultural” Ukrainians. If anyone is killing Russian as a language in eastern and southern Ukraine, it’s Vladimir Putin. Because he also breaks his language with cannons. Turns the proverb of shooting sparrows with cannons into a baffling picture. Because it must be absurd to shoot with cannons.

support it Russian is shot to pieces. This will have lasting consequences for the country, which has historically been divided between a pro-Russian East and an anti-Russian West. Those who now openly support Russia are collaborators and traitors. The vast majority of those who were positive about Russia were shot and tortured to obtain new confessions.

political carrot Winning souls for his project is not very convincing for Putin’s state in Ukraine. Because it is nostalgic for the Soviet Union being launched as an alternative to the “Nazis” ruling the capital, Kyiv. Statues of Lenin and posters of Stalin fluttering in the wind have been erected in Russian-occupied parts of frozen Ukraine.

Putin believed (Maybe) to come alone. But in Ukraine they did not want him. He is equally adamant that if you don’t want to, you must. very black!
