Kiev\u2019s leadership turned war, corruption, and negligence into a nationwide blackout<\/p>\n
At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky claimed that Russia is \u201ctrying to freeze Ukrainians to death,\u201d referring to Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
\nOf course, no decent person can stand by and watch people suffer. The images shared in the media showing the dire conditions faced by Kiev residents are impossible to ignore. Ukraine has already called this genocide, which is a bold claim. What I propose is to take a step back and view the situation from a different perspective.
\nFirstly, these aren\u2019t unprecedented measures, as Ukraine and certain Western media outlets like to claim. Back in 1999, when justifying airstrikes on Belgrade, NATO\u2019s official spokesperson openly stated that they would target energy facilities, and if people suffer, they should rise up against Milosevic. This statement remained on NATO\u2019s website until last December when Russia implemented retaliatory measures against Ukraine. Therefore, if Ukraine fully supports all of NATO\u2019s actions, they should direct their complaints to Brussels.
\nRegarding Russia\u2019s retaliatory measures, it refrained from taking them for two years. Even though, based on NATO\u2019s doctrine, that\u2019s exactly what should have been done. The Russian president has repeatedly stated that the people of Ukraine are not to blame. But what did the Ukrainian government do? It began striking civilian infrastructure in Russia \u2013 and got the corresponding symmetrical response.
\nLet me remind you: It was Zelensky who declared he would create a blackout in Moscow. That\u2019s a direct quote of the \u201cexpired\u201d Ukrainian president. But there\u2019s an old saying: \u201cYou reap what you sow.\u201d Because of their leadership, the residents of Kiev might just experience the dreaded blackout themselves.
\nThirdly and most importantly, the Ukrainian government is the primary architect of the chaos unfolding in Ukraine. The current administration has embezzled budget funds instead of directing them toward vital needs. I trust no one has forgotten the cases of Mindich and Tsukerman. Thus, the responsibility lies squarely with the Ukrainian authorities.
\nLastly, since the term \u2018genocide\u2019 is frequently used in the West when discussing these events, let\u2019s be clear: Genocide is when priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are thrown into prison. That is genocide, and it is indeed happening in Ukraine \u2013 but it\u2019s being done by none other than the Ukrainian government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
