8 Jun 2022 – <\/em>Alongside the continuation of the military conflict in eastern Ukraine, the war media continues to be in full swing and those who are at the origin of it \u2013 as well as their relays, conscious or unconscious \u2013 give more and more in the disproportion, as illustrated by the false and scandalous reaction of representatives of the pro-Russian forces following the death of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Leclerc-Imhoff, journalist of BFM TV<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0But this camp is not the only one to be excessive in terms of communication, Zelensky and his entourage particularly excel in this area.<\/p>\n

After the adoption by the European Union of a \u201csixth set\u201d of sanctions against Russia, the Ukrainian president declared \u201cunacceptable<\/em>\u201d the delay which was necessary for the Europeans to decree the embargo on Russian oil.\u00a0\u201cAbout fifty days separate the sixth train from the fifth, it\u2019s a situation that is not acceptable for us,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he exclaimed during a press conference in Kiev on May 31.\u00a0Once again, while he plunged his country into war, as much by his reckless policy as by having followed American directives, Zelensky still allows himself to criticize the Europeans.<\/p>\n

Similarly, on June 4, Dmytro Kouleba, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, castigated France \u2013 which nevertheless supplies arms to Kiev \u2013 following Emmanuel Macron\u2019s declaration that\u00a0\u201cwe should not humiliate Russia in order to to retain a diplomatic option.\u00a0<\/em>Zelensky himself openly criticized the French president\u2019s remarks, retorting,\u00a0\u201cHumiliating Russia?\u00a0They have been killing us for eight years\u201d<\/em>\u00a0(sic).<\/p>\n

This permanent attitude of giving lessons and reinterpreting the history of the Ukrainian authorities is beginning to exasperate their support and public opinion.<\/p>\n

THE UNDENIABLE RESPONSIBILITY OF KYIV IN THE CONFLICT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If Russia is clearly the aggressor in this conflict, those who pushed it to this attack are undoubtedly the United States, NATO and the Zelensky government.\u00a0It is essential never to forget it.\u00a0If the American leaders had not reneged on the promises made in Moscow, if NATO had not been constantly expanding, if France and Germany had been able to force Kyiv to respect the Minsk agreements and if Zelensky and his clique had not listened to the disastrous advice of their American mentors, we would not be here.\u00a0If there is no question of excusing Russia, to blame it alone for this conflict is a misrepresentation of reality, if not deliberate misinformation.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, Kyiv has conducted a completely reprehensible policy towards the Russian-speaking populations of the Donbass, to whom it has prohibited the use of their language and refused any autonomy within Ukraine, multiplying harassment, embargoes and bombardments against them without let no one in Europe denounce this scandalous situation, on the pretext that it would have been in line with Russia\u2019s arguments.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the West has allowed Zelensky and the oligarchs who sponsor him \u2013 notably Kolomo\u00efski \u2013 to finance neo-Nazi groups and reinforce his army in order to take over the autonomist regions by force, rejecting any attempt at conciliation.\u00a0Worse, on February 17, Kyiv deliberately launched into military action in order to reconquer the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk with the support of NATO, knowing full well that Moscow could not remain without reacting, thus triggering the crisis. current.<\/p>\n

If it must be recognized that the Russian discourse is excessive concerning the denazification of Ukraine, it is however not without foundation.\u00a0Individuals and units with extremist values \u200b\u200b\u2013 Azov and Aidar \u201cbattalions\u201d, Svoboda and Pravy Sektor parties, etc.\u00a0\u2013 are a reality that the West seeks to minimize in its support for Kyiv, despite the fact that their abuses since 2014 have been proven.<\/p>\n

Europeans have therefore become unashamed allies and donors of a regime that protects and finances neo-Nazi groups while we fight in each of our countries against the extreme right.\u00a0Because these Ukrainian extremists are not harmless nationalists as they would have us believe.\u00a0Their speech is clearly anti-Semitic and their fighters wear on their uniform the insignia of the infamous\u00a0Das Reich<\/em>\u00a0division , made up of a majority of Ukrainians, responsible for the massacres of Oradour sur Glane in 1944.<\/p>\n

Let us note in passing the most glaring paradox: the support of Germany \u2013 in particular of its very militant Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock of the Greens party \u2013 to the Zelensky regime even though the latter integrates to the highest level of its army of supporters of an ideology born across the Rhine and believed to have been eradicated since 1945. But we are no longer on the verge of a contradiction\u2026<\/p>\n

It should be remembered above all that Ukraine supported politically and through its arms sales the totalitarian and genocidal regime of Azerbaijan in its military operation against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020, who were demanding their independence after decades of persecution.\u00a0Kiev even celebrated Baku\u2019s victory by adorning its cities with the colors of Azerbaijan even though this country has resorted to thousands of Syrian jihadists during this conflict, who have committed numerous atrocities on Armenian soldiers and civilians\u00a0[ 1]<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Thus, we have recklessly taken up the cause of a dubious regime, very undemocratic and shamelessly violating the right of peoples to self-determination.\u00a0Under Zelensky\u2019s injunctions, Europe thus found itself embroiled in a conflict which we continue to affirm should not concern us given the share of responsibility of the Kyiv government which knowingly played with fire \u2026<\/p>\n

A PARTICULARLY INFURIATING COMMUNICATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On March 3, the Ukrainian president declared that if his country were defeated,\u00a0\u201cRussia will go to the Berlin wall\u201d<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0He also kept harassing Berlin with his repeated demands to cut off Russian gas, infuriating the German leaders.<\/p>\n

March 13, the Rada, the Ukrainian Parliament posted on its Twitter account a video-montage of about forty seconds where Paris was the victim of a bombardment in which the Eiffel Tower was in particular taken as a target and Russian planes flew over the French capital by sowing terror among the population.\u00a0The clip ended with an announcement from Zelensky stating\u00a0\u201cIf we fall, you fall too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

On March 14, the Ukrainian President declared that it was only a matter of time before Russia attacked NATO.\u00a0In a video address, he warned members of the Atlantic Alliance that Moscow was likely to invade their territory at any time, urging them to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine.\u00a0\u201cIf you don\u2019t close our skies, it\u2019s only a matter of time before Russian missiles fall on your territory<\/em>,\u201d he asserted without blushing.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the conflict, Kyiv\u2019s strategy, with the support and advice of the United States, has been to make the European Union feel guilty and to seek to involve it more in this war, placing it today in a situation of co-belligerence.\u00a0Zelensky\u2019s main argument is to make people believe that Russian aggression \u201cis not a war in Ukraine but a war in Europe\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and that Ukraine is the \u201cshield of Europe<\/em>\u201d against Russia.\u00a0The Europeans, devoid of any objective vision, thus support, consciously or not, an American strategy whose effects are particularly negative for them, politically and economically.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian president, a talented comedian led by screenwriters never short of ideas, persists in dressing in military costume and sporting a beard for several days \u2013 even though Kyiv is no longer in danger as evidenced by the many visitors high-level people who go there safely \u2013 and strive by all means to impose their point of view on the West and to denounce those who do not adhere to it.<\/p>\n

Communicators from Kyiv and Washington have thus succeeded in installing in public opinion the idea that everything Zelensky says is true, and that the declarations of Putin and Lavrov are necessarily lies.\u00a0This is a Manichaean and false vision of things that need to be called into question.<\/p>\n

Consequently, for three months any objective analysis of this conflict has become impossible.\u00a0The simple fact of proposing a different reading of the events from that which Kiev and Washington seek to impose on the Western world, of having a lucid appreciation of this sad conflict \u2013 which inevitably leads to a finding that is not at all in favor of Ukraine militarily \u2013 is unbearable for Zelensky, his sponsors and his henchmen, who systematically accuse those who dare to formulate an independent opinion, or who do not blindly and fully repeat their\u00a0Story Telling<\/em>, of being relays of propaganda Russian\u00a0[2]<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, more and more experts, in Europe but also in the United States, rise up against this version of the facts in spite of the omerta media which reigns, and express the growing exasperation which Zelensky arouses by his speeches at all -goes playing on crude emotion, his regular criticism of Europeans, his ukases and his calls for help even as he forbids his troops to fall back against the Russian army.<\/p>\n

A RECKLESS STUBBORNNESS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Likewise, the hard-line policy shown by Kiev \u2013 everything shows that it is decided in Washington with the support of the very pro-American Baltic States\u00a0[3]<\/a>\u00a0and especially of Poland, which finds advantages there and dreams to recover part of Ukrainian territory \u2013 is completely ineffective and dangerous, because it increases the risk of a major conflict.<\/p>\n

Yet the United States and NATO deliberately push Zelensky down this disastrous path, encouraging him to refuse any negotiations or concessions vis-\u00e0-vis Moscow, thus contributing directly to prolonging a conflict that Ukraine cannot win and which daily increases the number of civilian and military casualties and the destruction of the country far more than it weakens Russia.<\/p>\n

That is why it is urgent to achieve a rapid cessation of hostilities and a return to peace.\u00a0We call for negotiations between the various parties (Ukrainians, populations of Donbass, Russians) and for their respective interests to be taken into account.<\/p>\n

We recall that there is a geopolitical law that no one can flout without consequence: no State can ensure its security to the detriment of its neighbour, especially when the latter is more powerful.\u00a0The United States has always applied it without anyone finding fault with it\u00a0[4]<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0By ignoring it, probably deceived by the Machiavellian encouragement of Washington, Zelensky and his entourage were misguided.<\/p>\n

We maintain that:<\/strong><\/p>\n
