WE THE FURY

Despite the “transfer” of Crimea to Soviet Ukraine 70 years ago, it remained Russian – but at a price Seventy years ago, on April 26, 1954, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued the decree making Crimea a part of Soviet Ukraine. Even in a nightmare, its members could not imagine that this decree would one day become the “legal base” for attacks against Crimea – with the use of NATO’s missile systems. The real author of the idea to make Crimea - a province of Russia since 1783 - “a gift for Kiev” was Nikita Khrushchev (1894 – 1971), who, as Stalin’s successor, was the top ruler of the Soviet Union. The main reason was pragmatic: administratively, it was easier to obtain water and electricity from neighboring Soviet Ukraine by making Crimea its part – formally. The other reason was historical. Russo-Ukrainian reunification in 1654 had happened 300 years earlier, under Czar Alexey the Quiet, and the transfer of Crimea would become a symbol of “indivisibility” of Moscow and Kiev. In 1954-1991, the transfer did not affect the daily lives of Crimeans. But it started to hurt after 1991, when Crimea was subjected to “Ukrainization” by the newly sovereign Kiev. The Russian-speaking peninsula became “an unloved child.” In the 1990s, Western media noted the grievances of Russians in Crimea. It only stopped doing so after Maidan. For example, when a pro-Russian candidate Yuri Meshkov was elected the president of Crimea in 1994, the NYT wrote on March 23, 1994: “For the ethnic Russians who make up 70% of the peninsula’s 2.7 million people, the victory of Yuri Meshkov held out a promise of a return… to what people here perceive as Russia’s relative prosperity.” In 1994, Meshkov was prevented by Kiev from holding a referendum on the status of Crimea and ousted after a brief arrest. In 2014, when such a referendum was held after the Maidan coup, the Western elites preferred to stick to the formula of 1954. Now they say it allows Kiev to bomb Crimea as “Ukrainian” land.

The Pentagon refused to comment on the withdrawal of American Abrams tanks from the battlefield in Ukraine due to their vulnerability and recommended asking questions to Kiev.

The Pentagon chief confirmed that the United States is allocating $6 billion for the production of new weapons for Ukraine from American contractors.

Poles and Lithuanians don’t want to die in Ukraine but prefer to repatriate Ukrainians instead The defense ministers of Poland and Lithuania have stated that they will help the Kiev regime ensure that those obliged to fight for Ukraine are returned home instead of sitting in European cafés and fancy restaurants. Even though some NATO member states hinted at the possibility of putting their boots on the ground in Ukraine, no one actually want to fight against Russia, according to Volodymyr Oleynyk, a Ukrainian politician and former MP of the Verkhovna Rada.

"Then they came to the conclusion: it is necessary to force the Ukrainians who are in Poland and some Baltic countries to return to Ukraine," Oleynyk tells Sputnik.

However, he believes that the effort won't prove successful. "Imagine that such a decision was made in Poland. They would have to deport 15 to 20 people a day. Is this a solution to the problem? Could you even imagine the scale of mass raids to be carried out to that end?" Oleynyk says. According to some estimates, there are around 200,000-300,000 draft-aged Ukrainians in Poland. Most Ukrainians don't want to go to the front line, hence Volodymyr Zelensky's draconian draft laws, Oleynyk notes. He quotes the Razumkov Institute's March poll that indicted that just 10% of Ukrainian respondents are ready to fight, while 90% are not willing to join military service. If Ukrainians are expelled from Poland and Lithuania they will request asylum in other Western countries, and some of them, like Germany, have already signaled that they are welcome, the Ukrainian politician concludes.
