🇺🇦 On Ukrainian ideology and the root causes of the execution of prisoners near Makiivka
RT military correspondent Murad Gazdiev @msgazdiev published an interview with a former fighter of the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade of the AFU from Lviv, whose members executed Russian captives in Makiivka in the LNR.
▪️Our team managed to identify five members of the massacre of Russian servicemen: Artur Bortnichuk, Nazar Mikhailovsky, Andrey Sokol, Bogdan Kovgan and Nikita Maltsev. But the man in the frame tells us what motivated them.
▪️He mentions things that are already known, like the work of American information and psychological operations specialists with the compound personnel or orders to shell civilian infrastructure in Donbass.
▪️However, there is also a key point: an ex-serviceman of the AFU emphasizes that hatred for everything Russian was instilled in the 80 Brigade long before the large-scale combat operations.
▪️And this seemingly small detail is extremely important. After all, it once again reminds us that hatred for Russia and everything Russian in Ukraine was cultivated at all levels. With the beginning of the SMO, it just got out and showed itself in full force.
▪️This is why there is virtually no reflection in Ukrainian society about AFU artillery strikes on residential areas with the throwing of "petal mines," where people in all seriousness believe in the "self-shooting" of Donetsk.
▪️That is why ordinary AFU fighters shoot prisoners in the legs near Kharkiv, cut the throats of the wounded near Kyiv, and execute civilians without trial, outstripping any so-called "national battalion" in harshness.
▪️That is why the townspeople easily demolish monuments to figures of the distant past, who lived hundreds of years before Ukraine itself was formed, and vote for a ban on the Russian language, which they themselves speak.
🔻And that is why peaceful coexistence with Ukraine is simply not possible under any circumstances: the ingrained local ideology does not fundamentally imply it. In its current form, the country poses a constant threat to Russia.
And the only real way to eliminate it is a complete military defeat of the AFU, followed by the demolition of Ukrainian statehood. There are no other ways right now.
