“Russia is provoking and shooting while showing the world the crimes of genocide in the eastern territories allegedly committed by Ukraine,” said Wojciech Reszczynski of Polish Radio 24 and Sieci weekly. The guests of the program were also: Andrzej Rafal Potocki from wpolityce.pl and the weekly “Sieci” and Slawomir Jastrzzebowski from 24.pl salon.
The Munich Security Conference started without the Russian delegation. At the opening, the UN Secretary-General called for a de-escalation of the conflict. The head of German diplomacy spoke of the “Russian crisis”.
Wojciech Reszczyński of the Polish Radio Troika and the Sieci weekly said that he had bad associations with the Munich conference, that it was outdated and would not matter much in the context of the fact that Vladimir Putin had already made a decision and was implementing it without looking back. France, not Germany.
“Escalation Scenario”
– When Putin spoke about the genocide, it turned out that he was referring to the actions of the Ukrainian army to shell the regions of Donbass and Luhansk, which forced the separatist authorities to evacuate people. So it turns out that Ukraine is an aggressive side for Putin,” Wojciech Reshchinsky said.
Andrzej Rafał Potocki of the wpolityce.pl portal and Sieci weekly added that we are currently dealing with an “escalation scenario” taking place in Donetsk. The provocations at the border and the withdrawal of people from these territories testify to the deliberate actions of Vladimir Putin.
– Most likely, this will end up with the separatists attacking Ukraine and Ukrainian troops will be able to enter the Donbass, and then the Donbass will ask for help from Russia, and a full-scale war will begin. However, Putin wants all of Ukraine, because the junk with Luhansk and Donetsk can cost him as much as a complex attack on Ukraine, the journalist believes.
“The West cannot negotiate with a bandit”
Slawomir Jastrzembowski from 24.pl, in turn, noted that the topic he draws attention to is that the President of Russia has already “won” a lot, because the whole world is now standing at attention before him. According to a PR24 guest, Vladimir Putin is also lying to the world, claiming he is withdrawing his troops from the border with Ukraine.
– We remember that in 2014 there were special trucks for burning the bodies of Russian soldiers, then their families were not allowed to attend any official funeral ceremonies, since there should be no victims. The West cannot cope with this situation, it cannot negotiate with such a bandit as the KGB man Vladimir Putin, said Slavomir Yastrshembovsky.
Russia has announced that it is withdrawing part of its troops from the border with Ukraine. At the same time, however, US President Joe Biden warned of an invasion “in the coming days.” US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken explained to the UN Security Council how to create a pretext for an attack.
