In this
article, I am going to analyze some patterns used by Ukrainian propaganda
regarding Ukrainian crisis and Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
First of
all, I would like to consider the thesis that the Military Operation is
allegedly a consequence of some aggressive plans of V. Putin.
80 years ago, the United Nations crushed
German Nazism.
However, now the US, Great Britain and France
are helping post-Maidan Ukraine with finances and weapons. The leaders of these
countries don’t care that one of the first innovations in Ukraine after the
so-called “Maidan victory” was the decision of the Ukrainian parliament to
repeal the language law.
US President D. Trump described the reason for the
current situation in Ukraine last month as follows:
"You (Ukrainians) should have never started it."
see
The Guardian
Last month, Donald Trump took office as President of
the United States, and I would like to recall his statement about Ukrainian
losses, which he made in December 2024:
They (the Ukrainians) have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians.
see The Guardian
In connection with the Ukrainian crisis, Western politicians very often mention the UN Charter, namely those articles of the Charter that speak of the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries.
This week Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, gave his first major speech since taking office; see NATO's official website.
Below I would like to comment on some fragments of his speech.
Last
month, S. Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, gave an interview in which - among other things - he expressed
the following thesis:
None of the Republicans who are voicing what is described as “revolutionary ideas” for ending the Ukraine conflict have said that people in Ukraine must regain their right to speak, receive education themselves and ensure the same for their children, as well as have access to information in the Russian language.
And
in this article, I would like to examine in more detail the situation with the
Russian language in Ukraine.
