Kyiv the capital of Ukraine before the war

 The Ukraine war is now its sixth month. The country is almost finished. The ruins will remain. The population of Ukrainians scattered in different countries of Europe, and there they started a new life. Those Ukrainians whose families were divided and were also in Russia, they went to Russia and reunited with their families. Russia has announced to grant them citizenship. During the Cold War, Ukraine and Russia were one country and it was the Soviet Union, Ukrainians were in government. They were the president of the Soviet Union. They were in the Politburo of the Communist Party; they were in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union. They were the foreign minister of the Soviet Union. These Soviet Ukrainians were ambassadors of the Soviet Union to European countries. The Russian Ukrainian formed the Soviet Union’s policy towards Eastern and Western Europe. And peace and stability in Europe were their priority. However, if they wanted to, they could easily destabilize Western Europe. Trade unions were a major revolutionary force in Western Europe, while in the countries of Western Europe, the socialist parties had popular support. Rather, socialists came to power in many Western European countries. The people elected them. Due to this fear, Western European governments did not interfere in Eastern European countries and established a common security system in Europe.

  After the end of the Cold War, there was no issue between Ukraine and Russia for 23 years, and relations between the two countries were very cordial and close. Victor Yanukovych’s government was overthrown because of America’s intervention in Ukraine during the Obama-Biden administration. The Yanukovych government was close to Russia. while Petro Poroshenko’s new government was pro-West. In Ukraine, anti-Russian hatred was promoted under the pro-West Poroshenko regime. Ukrainians whose fathers and grandfathers were in government in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, their children and grandchildren hated Russia. When the war is based on hatred, external powers start seeing their own interests in it. Then they have no interest in peace and humanity. It was NATO secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s war. The NATO plan had the support of the Biden administration, and Europe had to see its solidarity with America and NATO. It was reckless adventurism against Russia. Hatred of Russia was on the minds of America, Europe, and Brussels, no one in Europe had considered the far-reaching effects and consequences of this war. The leaders of Europe were making the countries of Europe frontline states in this war, European leaders had forgotten the economic interests of their people. The judgment of the American and European leaders was that Russia will not be able to survive for long in the face of their severe economic sanctions against Russia. And Russia’s economy will soon fall. When Russia falls, seeing this, China will back off from challenging our global leadership. But their judgment proved wrong. And now Europe is in a tough economic situation, because of the US and Europe’s economic sanctions on Russia, there has been a massive shortage of oil and gas in Europe. For the first time in Europe, both governments and people are concerned about how they will keep their homes warm during the snowy winter, and how to keep water hot. EU leaders are accusing Russia of weaponizing oil and gas. European leaders are lying to their people and want public sympathy for their wrong decisions. Russia has opened shops to sell oil and gas. Russia spent billions of dollars on laying oil and gas pipelines in partnership with Germany. But under the pressure from America, the German government closed these pipelines. NATO and the European Union have tormented the people of Europe with their decisions, and they were telling the people that Russia is weaponizing oil and gas. That is not true.

  Ukraine could have been saved from the devastation of war if the leaders of America and Europe had used common sense and wisdom. Civilized democratic countries do not resolve conflicts through wars. The wars are the culture of barbarian nations.
