Remarks on the conflict in Ukraine

On November 19, 2024, the Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris chose to mark the 1000 days since the start of the Russia’s Special military operation in Ukraine with the usual Russophobic statement full of all sorts of laments about the loss of life and destruction brought about by the conflict in Ukraine.

It is hard to believe his sincerity.

If, indeed, the Irish government cared for Ukrainians it would never have joined the US and NATO in the grandiose project of an anti-Russian meltdown in Ukraine, supporting the bloody coup in Kiev in 2014 by radical nationalists/neo-Nazis. No one with clear conscience and sound mind would have been covering up the war waged by the Kiev regime since 2014 on the people of Donbass and Crimea, who refused to accept anti-Russian policies of the newly installed junta in Kiev. If the Irish government were really concerned about the plight of Ukrainian people it would never allowed, in company with their European partners, for the Kiev regime to sabotage the Minsk agreements. It would have never intentionally ignored serious Russian proposals on political settlement of Ukrainian crisis put forward in December of 2021, which could have ensured peace in Ukraine, rights and freedoms of the Russian-speaking Ukrainians as well as provided tangible security guarantees for Russia, Ukraine and entire Europe. These objectives are still valid, but they will be achieved by the decisive force of Russia, despite all the efforts by the US, NATO and their companions like the Irish government to keep the war in Ukraine going on. It is exactly this failed and criminal policy that brought death and destruction upon both Ukrainians and Russians. The responsibility for this lies on Washington and every European political leader who obediently followed its line.
