Russia attacks Ukraine on a large scale: free world must now confront the criminal Putin

@ElentirENG ES 2·24·2022 · 6:09 0

Tonight, Russia has unleashed its full military force in a full-scale aggression against Ukraine, a sovereign and independent nation.

Lesson of Poland and Lithuania to the EU: their presidents travel to Kiev to support Ukraine
The extreme left reactivates against Ukraine the strategy it used against Poland in 1939

A few minutes before 6:00 a.m. local time (5:00 CET), Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba posted the following message: "Putin has just launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Peaceful Ukrainian cities are under strikes. This is a war of aggression. Ukraine will defend itself and will win. The world can and must stop Putin. The time to act is now."

The BBC reports that explosions are being heard in Kiev and other cities in Ukraine. As reported by Ukrainska Pravda at 4:55 CET, "missile attacks were launched against military control centers in Kiev and Kharkov. According to the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Anton Gerashchenko, there is also artillery shelling on the border." The same media has just reported on its website "sounds of explosions in Zhytomyr, Odessa, Brovary, Kherson, Nikolaev, Zaporizhia."

According to the newspaper El Mundo, Putin has announced that with this attack he intends to "demilitarize" and "denazify" Ukraine. A cynical statement from a dictator who is imitating Nazi Germany's policy of aggression. The world must stop the criminal Putin once and for all. A fanatic cannot be allowed to attack a neighboring country and endanger peace in all of Europe as this despot is doing. Sanctions are not enough: this aggression must be answered with a total commercial blockade against Russia and with the shipment of military material to Ukraine, to help this Nation defend itself against its aggressor.

And what cannot be allowed is that their propaganda tools continue to have an open bar to intoxicate and misinform. Manipulative media at the service of the Kremlin such as RT and Sputnik News, owned by the Russian government, must be blocked in allied countries. They are not the media: they are weapons of propaganda and destabilization at the service of a dictatorship, which is using them to whitewash its attack on Ukraine and to try to generate instability in the NATO countries. One cannot be tolerant with a tyrant who attacks a sovereign country, nor can one allow his networks of intoxication to continue poisoning free Nations.

From here I want to send all my support to the people of Ukraine in the face of this aggression. The free world must now confront this criminal dictator, Vladimir Putin, who is doing the same thing that Hitler did in 1938 with Czechoslovakia and in 1939 with Poland.

Слава Україні!
Glory to Ukraine!

This morning Russia launched a new military operation against our state. This is an unjustified false and cynical invasion.

The Armed Forces, all special and law enforcement agencies of the state are on alert. The National Security and Defense Council is working in an emergency mode.

Martial law will be imposed.

Our diplomats are informing the world about what is happening. Ukrainians will never give their freedom and independence to anyone. Only we, all citizens of Ukraine, have been determining our future since 1991. But now the fate of not only our state is being decided, but also what life in Europe will be like.

Whether at least something of the force of international law remains depends on the world's honest and just response to this aggression.
