When in 2014 Ukraine started to bomb and shell civilians in the Donbas, hardly a murmur of protest was heard in the west. A few broadsheets carried subdued articles on the topic but in the main it was ignored until the tabloids raised it, not as a cry against Ukraine’s crime but as a protest at the Donbas for daring to fight back.

Nicolai N. Petro, author of “The Tragedy of Ukraine” explains how the latest development on the battle field combined with the history of Ukrainian nationalism will lead to a process in which even the “Banderites” will want to strike a peace deal with Russia to preserve what is left of motherland—even against the will of the western neocon warmongers who have been wreaking havoc on Ukraine for the sole purpose of fighting a proxy-war with Russia. The great Ukrainian awakening is only a matter of time, and Russia knows it. The only question is how many more Ukrainian soldiers the nationalists are still willing to throw into their early graves before doing what should have been done in April 2022: a neutrality agreement and a true process of reconciliation. This tragedy must end and will end because at the end of the day, the neocons are willing to “fight to the last Ukrainian” but they have made it utterly clear that sacrificing their own is not on the menu. So wake up, Ukraine, and build a new future already without this poison that is the NATO neocon crowd.

Are we the baddies? What if the Ukraine war is just as stupid and wrong as the Iraq war, but the state propaganda has been more successful and hardly anybody has realised… yet?

Oh my. The sad tale of a bromance gone bad. I guess Zaluzhny and Zelensky won’t be hugging it out.
