The United States and NATO found the “golden goose” in Ukraine. There, they have created a military laboratory with the primary goal of encircling and destabilizing Russia, and by extension, expanding the threat against China, perhaps a greater and long-term objective.
This is evident to the extent that NATO is already opening offices in Asia and providing advice to China’s neighbours to recognize and support the secession of territories from the Asian giant, such as Taiwan.
In the war laboratory of Ukraine, the most sophisticated media formulas are also being tested to deceive the international community with fake news, half-truths and other sugar-coated tales in order to justify the sending of weapons to Kiev and, at the same time, support increasingly harsh sanctions against Moscow.
In this regard, the news about attempts by Ukrainian forces to break through the line of Russian military defences near the city of Artemivsk is reported by Sputnik.
From Moscow, the Ministry of Defence reported that “there was no such breakthrough” because all the attacks were repelled.
On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during his visit to Berlin, stated that “Kiev wants to create a coalition of fighters” with modern aircraft that they are requesting from the West, particularly F-16 fighters.
When asked about this matter by the press, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz avoided giving a concrete response but stated, “We have already supported them a lot and will continue to support them for as long as necessary.”
Meanwhile, Zelensky expressed gratitude for the commitment of the German government to provide Ukraine with a new batch of military aid worth 2.7 billion euros.
From the United States, The Washington Post published classified documents from the Pentagon, which confirm that the Ukrainian president proposed “blowing up the Druzhba pipeline that supplies Russian oil to Hungary,” as well as attacking and occupying Russian territories near the Ukrainian border in order to “gain influence over Moscow.”
The reality is that months have passed, and what could have initially been resolved through negotiations has turned, with Western interference, into a conflict with a high risk of spilling beyond the borders of the parties involved and affecting, as it is happening, all of humanity.
The war in Ukraine has revealed the true face of some European governments that have chosen to sacrifice their own people with gas shortages or high fuel prices in exchange for sanctioning Russia and sending money and weapons to Kiev.
From the United States, President Biden and his team are doing something very similar with Ukraine to what they do with Israel: arming and encouraging them as a spearhead, in the case of Ukraine against Russia, and in the case of Israel against Palestinians, Syrians, Iranians and the entire Arab world.
The same goes for the leaders of the European Union, starting with their diplomatic chief – what diplomacy! – Josep Borrell, who, on the eve, after the delivery of the largest batch of German weapons to Kiev, “invited all EU countries to follow that example.”
In a similar action, the British government has supplied Ukraine with Storm Shadow cruise missiles, which implies that London is betting on an escalation of the conflict and fully involving itself in its possible outcome.
This Saturday, it was reported that Kiev used the aforementioned cruise missile in a bombardment of the city of Lugansk, resulting in several injuries and the destruction of some houses.
According to the Sputnik website, two Ukrainian fighter jets equipped with those British cruise missiles that reached the city of Lugansk were shot down by Russian fighters, as reported by the Russian Ministry of Defence.
They also revealed that since the start of the Russian Special Military Operation, 424 Ukrainian aircraft, 231 helicopters, 4,117 drones, 421 anti-aircraft defence systems, 9,119 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 1,100 multiple rocket launchers, 4,806 field artillery and mortars, and 10,167 special military vehicles have been destroyed.
