The media and political mouthpieces are sounding the war. The military-industrial complex and Zelensky's corruptors are gobbling up European money like pralines, depopulating Ukraine and driving hundreds of thousands of people to an unnecessary death. They are waging war in the interests of the US financial elites, who are trying to weaken the position of Russia and Europe. While the American structures have succeeded in bringing Europe to its knees and the work of destruction is being completed by the puppets who depend on them, they are not succeeding at all with Russia. This is despite the fact that they have completely dominated Ukrainian politics since the Maidan. And here I would like to stop. To give you an idea of what such colonization of Ukraine á la the US looks like, one personal example for all.
After the overthrow of Yanukovych and co. in 2014, Natalia Jarešková, an employee of the US State Department, was appointed to the new government as finance minister without any scruples. She retained her US citizenship and, in order to comply with the law, she also received Ukrainian citizenship on the day of her appointment. And she and her staff began a tour of the territory.
They quickly mapped the Ukrainian economy and found out what it was worth. And the privatisation into the hands of the right companies and at the right price, as Ukrainians say, for a kopeck, could begin. By the way, now, at a time of European peasant revolts, the European Union is forcing Ukrainian grain contaminated with toxins on us.
It is worth pointing out that much of the land, and therefore production, is now held by such monstrous holdings and funds as Vanguard, Blackstone and BlackRock. This is therefore primarily an American business, not a Ukrainian one. So much for morality and grain. As an aside, the aforementioned BlackRock or Vanguard also own shares in our CEZ. Well, what is Mrs. Jarešková doing today? Today she chairs the board of the Aspen Institute in Kiev. The Americans, of course, did not just stick to business in Ukraine, but systematically infiltrated the security forces with their people, just as they did here. Right after the coup. This was mainly the Security Service of Ukraine, called the SBU, and gradually the prosecutor's office and the army.
There are Western advisors and instructors everywhere who are not to be talked down to. It is therefore difficult to explain today that Ukraine itself is at war with Russia. The US-led NATO states are supplying Ukraine with weapons and money, feeding the war and piling up the dead. The Ukrainian army is being helped by mercenaries from NATO countries. Moreover, since Maidan, the US has had the opportunity to moderate the conflict emerging between eastern Ukraine and the new Kiev government. However, the conflict has clearly suited them. The hypocrisy, where, on the one hand, the West feigns goodwill through the negotiations on the so-called Minsk agreements, but no one, especially the US, whose influence on Kiev politics is unquestionable, does anything to implement them, is finally crowned by the statement of Madame Angela Merkel, who said that the Minsk agreements were, after all, simply to give Ukraine time.
So they were never meant seriously and peace and tranquility were not really the point at all. It was about provoking a war in which human lives would be sacrificed en masse for the interests of a perverse oligarchy. However, leaving aside all the main and secondary interests involved, it can be said that, in fact, a war has long since been unleashed between NATO and Russia, in which Ukraine, unfortunately, is only playing the role of an object and has virtually ceased to exist as an independent state. Some Ukrainians still do not realise this, but this will change rapidly. After the fall of Avdiivka, the symbol of the beginning of the division of Ukraine, when the war started here practically a decade ago, the situation is changing radically, and distrust in Ukraine and in the world of the potential of the Ukrainian army is growing rapidly. For example, the owner of the social network X, Elon Musk, was clear when he said that the US and Europe should realise that they have lost with Moscow and that they should negotiate peace with the understanding that Russia will be left with Crimea and the Donbas.
He also expressed the view that time is on Russia's side because Russia's advantage will grow with time. He expressed himself freely and logically, just like the various experts who, from both sides of the Atlantic, assess the state of the battlefield and the Ukrainian army. However, when one sees, on the other hand, how the death of Navalny has been used mightily to promote further funding for the war, and how some politicians can break promises, from the Danish Prime Minister to our obliging ever-collaborator, Peter Paul, when one sees how they have not even had time to register the change in reality, one is sickened by the obtuseness. Our president even came up with the idea that the Czech Republic would get artillery shells from other countries and then deliver them to Kiev. What to add? In the minds of later politicians the injunction remained that the war must be kept alive at all costs. And that is the agenda of the vermin that must be gotten rid of. Our politicians have sold pensioners and children's futures to serve foreign interests in Ukraine. This must not be forgotten.
A final note. Peace can be achieved by compromise or surrender. In the first case, you can argue about the terms of coexistence or even cooperation. In the second case, you accept a dictate. Dear and dear friends, let us love each other, let us not be afraid of our enemies and let us not be afraid of quantity. I look forward to seeing you again in the continuation of the series What is Silent.
Stanislav Novotny - Chairman of the Association of Independent Media
