The crisis in Ukraine: An Official Russian Perspective

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

The bottom line is that this is their global ideology – not creation but destruction, not light but darkness; endless lies, flip-flops and global hypocrisy that conceals hatred and a misanthropic ideology.

On October 8 of this year, an explosion on the Crimean Bridge seriously damaged its infrastructure. The preliminary results of the investigation into this crime, conducted by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, show that this was an act of terror planned by Ukrainian secret services with a view to destroy this large piece of civilian infrastructure that is critical to the Russian Federation, especially Crimea.

For a long time now, the Kiev regime has been actively using terrorist methods for political purposes and the suppression of opponents. It is doing this not only on the territories of other countries. It started with itself, its citizens, and the territories that belonged to it at that time.

I’d like to recall that the Kiev regime is to blame for the loss of thousands of human lives and the large-scale destruction of civilian facilities in Donbass. This list includes publicist Oles Buzina shot in his courtyard, journalists Pavel Sheremet and Darya Dugina, killed in car bombings, the murdered children of the Alley of Angels in Donetsk and other victims of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

We should not forget about the continuous shelling of cities and villages of the DPR, the LPR, the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions and acts of nuclear terrorism against the Zaporozhye and Kursk nuclear power plants. Representatives of the Kiev regime of all stripes are proud of this. For many years, the Mirotvorets website has published information on who was eliminated, cynically crossing out the family name of each one. They are hailing the bombing and destruction of infrastructure and the murder of people.

It could be explained by the lack of anything else to be proud of. "They don’t make, so all they can do is break." [Quotation marks by this editor] But I will explain it differently because this is not the point. Everything is much more serious. The bottom line is that this is their global ideology – not creation but destruction, not light but darkness; endless lies, flip-flops and global hypocrisy that conceals hatred and a misanthropic ideology.

They came to power via a coup, cruelly and in cold blood making short work of whom they called their political opponents – people whom they had to fight in the Verkhovna Rada during debates, exchange, interviews or remarks. No. They have long stopped concealing their essence behind some laws, which they think can be rewritten every hour. This is exactly what they have been doing for years. Now they have turned to the tactic of destroying everything that prevents them from reaching their goal.

What is their goal? To endlessly receive handouts, money, resources and promises of more material blessings from their curators. They want to do as they are told and sometimes improvise. These people came to power by staging a bloody unconstitutional coup.

I will recall how Kiev was ablaze and how proud they were of inventing a new tactic of burning tires to prevent people and cars, and, most important, security forces and police from getting close to them. They threw Molotov cocktails at people. Then they started shooting and destroying everything that was related to the state, law and the security system. Then they resorted to even crueler, more cynical violence by putting everyone on their knees and compelling them at gunpoint to bend the knee to those who destroyed Ukraine’s entire statehood.

The current acts of terror are not an exception but the continuation of the line that has prevailed in Ukraine during the last few decades. The West has been heavily supplying it with money and arms, giving it an opportunity to train militants on the territory of NATO countries (primarily Poland and the Baltic states). The West has also provided Ukraine with enormous political and information support. This is what the Kiev regime has received from its Western curators for lawless actions staged in the traditions of the worst terrorist cells. There is nothing special to prove – it is enough to look at the response of these so-called “people” who treat others as “creatures.”

Today, I saw the opinion of the ambassador of Ukraine in Britain, a NATO country. Unabashed, he told the Western media that the Kiev leaders have always dreamed of destroying this piece of civilian infrastructure. They do not conceal anything but are truly proud of their doings.

The cynical response of Ukraine’s military-political leaders to the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which is being presented as the official position, is revealing. At first, Kiev was gloating and openly praised the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) for their “brilliant job”, flaunting their ability to attack sensitive targets in Russia. We remember their twits and publications on social networks and websites. We saw how people had their pictures taken in front of posters depicting the explosions on the Crimean Bridge.

When their sponsors and guides woke up in Washington, there was a sudden change of tack. They started to cowardly deny their involvement and deflect. This is either childish silliness or the influence of some substances with limited duration that periodically end. In their rare moments of sobriety, they start denying everything they said under the spell of something.

The same departments put out contradictory statements during a single day. At first, they were in raptures and this was a matter of pride for the nation. They all recorded it as a win. All “state institutions” of Ukraine expressed solidarity and shared in the success. Half a day passed. Apparently, people from Washington cut them down to size by explaining that states within the framework of international law differ from quasi-state terrorist formations.

Admiration-filled, pompous and heartfelt congratulations came from NATO countries officials in connection with the act of a terrorist nature on the Crimean Bridge. These are the same countries that have been talking for decades about human rights, creating specialised institutions to protect any human whim outside the realm of basic needs and elevating any craving to cult status. Now, abruptly losing the last sign that made them look like people of reason and tripping over each other in an attempt to be louder and more convincing than the others, they congratulated the Kiev regime on a successful terrorist attack. They have thus cleared any doubt as to who was actually behind it. They openly congratulated the Kiev regime on a successful act of sabotage in the 22nd year of the 21st century. After that, these people will see each other at conferences and talk about environmental protection, the suffering endured by flowers and trees, and that experiments involving animals are a no-no. Now I understand what they are talking about. Experimenting on animals is wrong, but experiments on humans are okay. As President of Russia Vladimir Putin emphasised, in the event of more attempts to conduct terrorist attacks on our territory, Russia's response will be harsh and commensurate with the threats posed to the Russian Federation. Do you know what the most cynical part is? They are alleging that we are the ones hiding behind the interests of our country alone.

For eight years we have been issuing calls to protect people in another country, Ukraine. We were reprimanded for doing that as well. They told us it was another country and we shouldn’t dare think about those people, that they would deal with them themselves. Now, the people whom we really cared about and tried to have their future taken care of by the international community as well, through incredible suffering and with great civic courage, mustered whatever strength they had left and became part of our country. We are now protecting our citizens who have lived here for centuries, as well as the people who once lived here and have now come back. Don’t tell us it is only about our own interests. We are protecting the people whom the Kiev regime has been trying to destroy for many years now. What would the future be for the people of Donbass (DPR and LPR) and other regions of Ukraine who would not swear allegiance to the Kiev regime or do the Nazi salute? According to Vladimir Zelensky, they are some “species” and, since they are not their kind, they can be treated like the neo-Nazis are treating them now, flaunting it and being proud of it. The only thing that unites them is hatred and terrorist ideology.

The massacres outside Kupyansk, Kharkov region, after the Russian forces pulled out from there, is further shocking proof of the Kiev regime's crimes. A video was posted online by former commander of the Azov nationalists Maxim Zhorin, which shows inhuman abuse of civilians by Ukrainian Nazis. It’s a terrifying video of staggering cruelty. The cockiness and unchecked cruelty of the Nazi killers has gone so far that they are not concerned about posting such videos and are not hiding their identity. They don’t even think about masking it, as they did with everything else, like the Crimean Bridge, and the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. This is something they think they can be proud of.

History is repeating itself. This is not the first time this has happened. The gas chambers in the 1940s were also considered an achievement in the centre of Europe and a high point in the development of humankind, which, from the perspective of Nazism and fascism, was getting rid of those who prevented them from moving forward and perfecting themselves. This was several short decades ago. To prevent this from happening again, it was important to improve themselves and to squeeze every drop of Nazi blood out of themselves. Not everyone was able to make it; not everyone pursued this. Many people cultivated it in themselves for big money. And this is the result.

When Kiev saw this video, they got scared by the prospect of the international reaction, and started covering their tracks. As always, it didn't work out very well for them. The Azov gunman deleted his entry below the video and called it a “video from an invader’s phone” accusing the Russian military of the killings in Kupyansk. However, the metadata shows that the video was taken on October 9, when Ukrainian neo-Nazis were in control of Kupyansk. Nice try, but blaming Russia for the Kiev-sanctioned murder of its own people will not work. Aren’t “filtration camps” proof of how the Kiev regime treats the people it calls “its citizens liberated from the invaders?” Murdering Kharkov region residents is on the conscience of the Kiev regime, and it will not go unpunished.

We would like to see the international community eventually rise up from its anabiotic state and demonstrate its unbiased approach and adherence to its principles when assessing Ukraine’s latest moves and statements. We want it to show that it is still an international community and is willing and able to show empathy, sympathy and compassion and that this is not just a group of ideology-driven bureaucrats bought with Western money.

We are fully aware of the fact that the United States and other Western countries will never allow this to happen. They will do their best to create the illusion that the above crimes have not come to the attention of human rights institutions, agencies, and public figures. They are not just blindly covering up Kiev's unchecked behaviour and impunity, but they are demanding that others do the same, and they are putting unprecedented pressure on them.

Given the circumstances, there is only one option left which is to continue the special military operation with the stated goals. As Russian leadership has repeatedly expressed, all its goals and objectives will be fulfilled.
