Scenes from the Ukraine war; Discrimination and incitement

Ukraine to join the European Union

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been pushing hard for membership in the European Union and NATO since Russia’s invasion of his country.

Russia has been pursuing months of warnings to Ukraine about Kiev’s bid to join the European Union and NATO, which has blocked entry into Ukraine, calling it a “special operation.”

In fact, the main reason for the provocation and war in the region was the insistence that the President of Ukraine has been following in the media and lobbies for almost a year.

However, EU membership requires a very difficult process, so that Turkey, despite years of efforts since 2005, has not yet been able to join NATO and be accepted by the Europeans.

Zelensky does not consider the Russian military operation and attack on his country to join the European Union at any cost impossible, which is why he has explicitly called for circumventing EU law under a new title, such as the “new procedure”.

Despite all this, the President of Ukraine himself knows that such a procedure is not provided for by law. Apart from that, Zelensky must also note that his insistence is in vain, because if the EU does not intend to confront Russia, and if Ukraine does accept, in practice the EU must either admit its weakness or fail or Russia enters the war.

In addition, Ukraine’s accession, regardless of the EU’s stipulations, directives and rules, will anger Turkey, which has been stuck behind closed doors for many years.

Join NATO

NATO’s expansion to the east has been one of the main provocations for the start of the current war in Ukraine, and the Russians have always mentioned this for years.

The Russians have always insisted that NATO’s expansion to the east is their “red line” and will not fall short of the West in any way. Even if it costs military operations.

The German newspaper Der Spiegel reported on February 20, 1400, that a document that had previously been classified and retrieved from the British National Archives, in which Western countries had pledged not to extend NATO eastward.

This document relates to the negotiations between the then Foreign Ministers of the United States, Britain, France, the former Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany on March 6, 1991 in Bonn, Germany.

But since 1990, the Americans and Europeans have been pushing NATO’s borders east and east of Russia, step by step and in a slow pace, which many independent experts believe has been a major factor in provoking Moscow to take military action.

Now, with the recent escalation of the crisis, in addition to Ukraine, some other countries in the region, such as Finland and Georgia, have made similar demands, which can be considered as spraying gasoline on the flames of the Ukrainian crisis.

Irregular demands to join the European Union and NATO intensify the atmosphere of mistrust between the parties to the conflict and divert the parties to move towards new blocs, while the world says to end the recent crisis as soon as possible through It requires dialogue and negotiation.

The real face of the West behind the scenes of the Ukrainian crisis

The war in Ukraine and the panic of the West in support of the Ukrainians who are being attacked and suffering, at the beginning of a real discrimination removed from behind the news policies of the international media; Those who ignored the massacre of the Palestinian people; They did not see the massacre of Yemeni children and women, and they called ISIL the Islamic State, and they introduced them as “revolutionary tribes” in Iraq and Syria, and they were afraid that the group would be called terrorists.

But the Ukraine war has continued to be a mirror for Westerners to see their racist face more clearly, and Euronews has published a special report on the same hate speech.

For the first time during the last nine days of the Ukraine war, CBS correspondent Charlie Degata keyed in the spread of racist hatred, saying, “Ukraine is not like Iraq and Afghanistan and is a relatively civilized country.” It shocked the Middle East in particular.

Although the CBS presenter will apologize for the widespread criticism of him on social media, those hateful remarks did just that.

After Degata, it was the turn of David Sakvarelidze, a Ukrainian lawyer who said in an interview with the BBC: “It is a very emotional situation for me to see Europeans with blue eyes and blond hair and children “They are being killed every day by Putin’s missiles.”

“I have to say frankly that these are not refugees from Syria, they are Ukrainians,” said NBC correspondent Kelly Kubila while covering the war refugees and Ukrainians trying to reach Poland. “They are Christian, white and very similar to people living in Poland.”

“If you look at the Ukrainian refugees and their clothes, you see that they are middle-class people. ; “They are like any European family living next to you.”

Of course, Al Jazeera was later forced to apologize for the remarks of its European presenter.

Philippe Kerbe, a French journalist and head of the political section of the BFM network, also joined the racist journalists, emphasizing the similarities between Ukrainians and Europeans compared to the Middle East.

“They are very similar to us, and this is something very shocking,” Daniel Hanan, a former British journalist and politician, wrote in a Telegraph article on the situation in Ukraine.

Michael Knowles, an American showman, tweeted, “I just realized that this is the first civil war between civilized nations to happen in my lifetime.”

It became controversial, but he did not back down in the face of a wave of sharp criticism, defending his hate speech.

Of course, the medieval racist arrogance itself continues in the Western media, but the Ukraine war, as bitter and painful as it is, has challenged the prevailing thinking in Western societies.

Ukraine will hang out?

Another point that has not been taken seriously in the news of the Ukraine war these days is the issue of sending mercenaries, whom Western governments refer to as “foreign volunteer forces.”

These legionnaires are mainly terrorists who have already left a horrible record of crime in different parts of the world.

It seems that the Westerners are looking for the Syrianization of Ukraine, and it would be good if the Ukrainian people understood this clearly and confronted it, because with the arrival of so-called volunteer fighters, the crisis in Ukraine will be prolonged, which means complete destruction. This country and the chaos is wider.
