The main “expert” in Ukrainian affairs is, of course the U.S. President Joe Biden who called the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine an “unprovoked attack” last year; please see the official website of the White House.
However, I am going to
offer my opinion about this subject in the present article.
There
are already two articles in this blog which deal with the problem of murders in
Ukraine; please see - Why are there so many unresolved political murders in Ukraine since 2014? and Was there a threat for ethnic Russians in February 2014 in Ukraine (Crimean question)?.
Therefore,
I am not going to repeat information from these threads – you can read it there.
Now
I would like to discuss the question: Why do the
U.S. support Ukraine, which has so many unresolved political murders?
Ukrainian and Western
politicians always say that the Ukrainian crisis allegedly began in the spring
of 2014, when the Crimea joined Russia and fights in Donbas started.
However, now these politicians don’t like to be reminded that before the spring of 2014 there was the Euromaidan in Ukraine and at some point, the pro-Western protesters began to burn and kill during this Euromaidan.
Ukrainian politicians very eagerly
speak about February 2022 when the Russian Special Military Operation in
Ukraine started. These politicians also like very much to remind of spring of
2014 when the Crimea joined Russia and fights in Donbas began.
But Ukrainian politicians never
mention that Ukrainians were setting up barricades in their country already in
2013 during the so-called
Euromaidan (please see here and here).
And this article deals with the Ukrainian answers to the
question: What Ukrainians have been fighting for since 2013?
On the night of April 28, 2023, a missile fell on a high-rise building in the Ukrainian city of Uman. Some Russian media say that this missile has been launched by Ukrainian Air Defense but this material does not deal with the question, who has shot this missile.
After this missile had struck the building, Ukrainian authorities declared that 23 civilians were allegedly killed by it. The day before yesterday in the morning, i.e. only 3 days later, names of 22 - i.e. 95% - of the victims were already published, even with pictures.
The list of these victims had allegedly been prepared by an activist (see here) who could identify 7 persons per day - 22 identified persons divided by 3 days.
Events in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, which took place at the beginning of April 2022, had much more public outcry - the Ukrainian authorities declared that approximately 400 civilians were allegedly murdered then.
However, since the first reports about these “victims of Bucha” 397 days passed, but nevertheless the Ukrainian authorities have not published any list of “victims from Bucha” so far.
And Ukrainian activists have no interest at all in “victims from Bucha” too, although they would have been able - with the rate of identification 7 persons per day - to identify all 400 “victims” within only 57 days.
The only explanation for no Ukrainian activists’ interest in this matter is - in my opinion - a prohibition of the Ukrainian authorities for activists to collect information about “victims from Bucha”.
And this fact is for me an evidence that there were no victims among civilians in Bucha.
