Planet Bucha, not Earth
You can spend many hours thinking about "why Russia invaded Ukraine". But it all comes down to one goal - genocide against Ukrainians
Bucha, Vorzel, Irpen ... For me, like many Kievans, these are childhood memories: forest, lake, mushrooms in the forest, strawberries, summer rain, rainbow, steamed milk, young parents ... How many happy associations!
Now, for me and for the whole world, these places will be connected with death: murders, tortures, tortures, mass graves, corpses on the streets. These are now Bucha, Vorzel, Irpen.
Only we knew these names. Now everyone will know them. And he will remember even when the word "Putin" is forgotten. And even when they forget the word "Russia".
Why not? Who today remembers the names of the countries that exterminated the Jews in ancient times? The Bible preserves for mankind only the memory of extermination itself and of those who stopped it.
I can’t say I’m surprised by this news. Astonished, shocked, upset - but not surprised, no.
In the 1930s, my colleagues convinced the world that Stalin was talking about the destruction of the Ukrainian people. The world did not believe, many believed that the Holodomor was just an "excess" of the Bolsheviks' negligent economic policies. The scale of the crime became clear only a decade later. A few years later, there were many who claimed that Hitler's goal was the complete extermination of Jews, but the world did not believe, believed that the Reich only wanted to isolate "infidels", watched a Nazi documentary from the Warsaw Ghetto with cinemas and hospitals. The scale of the crime became apparent only when the Allies entered the concentration camps, but it took years to understand the situation.
From the first days of Russia's war against Ukraine, I warn that its main goal is not only the occupation of Ukrainian land, but the mass extermination and expulsion of the Ukrainian people. The President of Ukraine was not trusted when he compared this war to the Holocaust, but in vain.
This is the Holocaust and the Holodomor in one, because Putin is destroying people and infrastructure at the same time!
He does everything to make people killed and expelled without having a chance to survive.
Putin does not need Ukrainians as a conquered nation, because he fears and hates them. He needs hundreds of kilometers of devastated land to deliver missiles, that's all.
Why?
And why did Stalin need a ruined Ukrainian village faced with an eternal shortage of bread?
And why did Hitler need millions of Jewish corpses?
Why does Putin need this devastated country, when provincial Russia itself still looks like a dump of dust and ashes in the 21st century?
Need to find an answer to this question?
If I need to, I'll find it. This is my job, I can give a long lecture on this madness. The international court will also determine that there are qualified experts.
Why try to unravel the logic of paranoia? Why spend hours searching for an understanding of the goals of an entire state that has embarked on a path of crime against humanity and turned into a terrorist organization?
It is important to understand the goal, the goal.
The goal is the destruction and expulsion of the Ukrainian people. The goal is genocide.
And that became obvious not in a few decades, not in a few years, but in a few weeks.
We did not lie when we warned about this. We did not exaggerate. It was a statement backed up by facts.
So, it doesn't matter what they are there for, or even what kind of weapon they choose.
Only one thing is important: what is harder.
And salvation, unfortunately, is not some neutrality of Ukraine or our "renunciation of nuclear weapons", as if we have it.
No, the salvation is the demilitarization, denuclearization and denazification of the terrorist community under the thunderous flag of the "Russian Federation".
Because we are only first on the list of goals.
But believe me, not the last.
Yes, the existence of the Putin regime is a direct threat to humanity. Absolute danger.
Mankind either understands this or disappears faster than we can imagine.
And then the future guests of this mutilated planet may decide that its real name is the planet Bucha.
Not some Earth.
