"Is the President of Russia planning an escalation" - reflections in the German press

56

Vladimir Putin continues to threaten the authorities of neighboring Ukraine. The Russian leader criticized the law "on indigenous peoples" adopted in Ukraine, calling it directed against the Russian people. To date, the question remains open whether Putin is planning an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, writes the author of an article for the German edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Since the spring of this year, the Russian president has increasingly resorted to threatening rhetoric against the Ukrainian authorities, the author writes. In Putin's speech, a constantly repeated figure of speech appeared, in which he points out that Russia, they say, seeks a dialogue, despite the fact that Russia's interests are offended, but the "Western partners" do not heed Russian fears, so Russia is forced to act.



Putin was especially offended by the law "on indigenous peoples" adopted in Ukraine, signed by Zelensky. In response, the Russian president wrote an article on the unity of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples, highlighting the negative role of the modern Kiev government, which is turning Ukraine into an "anti-Russia."

According to the author, with his article, Putin is trying to pave the way for an invasion of Ukraine under the pretext of "protecting the Russian-speaking population," as he has done more than once. As an example, the article cites the "invasion of Georgia" in 2008, which was justified in Moscow by the "protection of the Russians", as well as the events in Crimea in 2014 and in eastern Ukraine. The author is also sure that the war in Donbass fits perfectly into the principle promoted by Putin: "Russians do not abandon their own."

At the same time, the author is not sure that Russia will attack Ukraine, although Putin's article is being studied in the Russian army "by order." At the same time, he does not rule out that this fall, the Kremlin may provoke some kind of conflict on nationalist grounds in Ukraine, which will lead to new clashes. It is not yet known whether Putin will escalate, but Russia has always started all its aggressive actions with insignificant signals, the author sums up.

          It is not yet known whether Putin will escalate, but Russia has always started all its CAPTIVE actions with INSIGNIFICANT signals, the author sums up.

          The German author in his article clearly demonizes Russia in propaganda in the spirit of the trans-Atlantic interests of the United States, while ignoring the so-called. "INSIGNIFICANT" signals to Russia from both Germany itself and the United States itself in relation to the Ukraine colonized by them.

          The author clearly wishes in the Western project "Ukraine - anti-Russia" to place all the blame for the aggravation of relations between Ukraine and Russia on the part of the West / Ukraine from exclusively on Russia, having reversed the causes and consequences.

          At the same time, the German author, in his political worldview, secretly propagandizes everything topsy-turvy. In particular, he "forgets" that in the last century the Third Reich and the Germans themselves, with their "Germany above all!" and that now - over the past 30 years - is the present FRG in relation to Russia and to the same Ukraine.
          The author does not take into account and does not even hint at what kind of participation Germany itself took in the STATE REVOROT in Ukraine in 2014.

          All in all, in your provocative eye the German author in his analysis of his own German-NATO TAKEOVER log does not see.

    If Moldova makes an attempt to resolve the issue in Transnistria by military force, and Ukraine blocks the Transnistrian border for its part, then apparently we will have only one way out to help the peacekeepers, a military landing in Odessa. At the same time, we will liberate Bessarabia from the Bandera occupiers and give freedom to Transnistria. And will continue to behave badly need to free the entire South-Eastern outskirts of the Nazis and Western henchmen.

    With a delay of 20 years, our country began to remind "our partners" that it is a country. And not a toy and a horse for shaking out money. Well ... not just a lick. And this immediately gave rise to real horror! Our "partners" have fueled so much, mad with impunity, that they fully understand that, in all fairness, Russia should turn Europe into ruins. Confiscate hundreds of two trillion euros at today's rate from the European banking system. Turn England into a fused lump of slag. And this is not all that the dearest Europeans owe us!

      Excuse me, but what is the interest in this for the consolidated West? For this, the situation is formed so that the shells fall. And if the shells did not fall, the director of the CIA and a number of other officials and politicians would have fallen, and all the same, the shells would have fallen. And when did they not fall in the recent history of Russia? And I, and almost all my comrades somewhere fought and are fighting - from the aggressiveness of Russia or what? And what about the West's strategy to contain us as a state has changed over the past 30 years? It is clear that they clarify depending on the developing situation, but fundamentally new is not visible. Of course, confidential documents of NATO collegial bodies, departmental and government decisions on the strategy of moving to the East will not appear in the press, but the results are on the face. Do we not feel this pressure? None of them will leave Ukraine alone, they were not raised for prosperity.
