WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN EAST UKRAINE: A Russian Play for Peace

PANDEMIC WRITINGS, Melbourne, Australia (2020-2022): piece originally published February 24, 2022

NOTE: The following was written before the commencement of the Russian ‘Special Military Operation’ later that day. Thus, the conclusion reached is incorrect, but the summation of the precipitating events still remain valid and contextually relevant. Putin ultimately initiated a preemptive attack as a means of self-defence as per the conditions outlined within the United Nation’s Article 51.

There is NO Russian invasion. However, there is a Western narrative that seeks to program the illusion that an "invasion" has taken place.

What has taken place is a masterful Kremlin strategy to preserve regional peace, limit bloodshed, and prevent the resumption of genocide. Most in the West are woefully oblivious to this reality — and mainstream media reportage will make none-the-wiser. That is by design: Russia = Bad.

Those that are not familiar with the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict, are currently being bombarded with outrageous propaganda, and remain utterly incapable of discerning exactly what is taking place. They are victims of narrative.

It is this simple: Russian forces have entered the breakaway republic of Donbass, the Eastern Ukrainian border region that was involved in the 2014-2015 Civil War. They were invited to do so to protect the people that live there. If the Kremlin did not answer their request — these people, their families and their entire regional history would be entirely erased. The "Ukrainian Military" (for they are now a Western-proxy force) are amassed on the other border and have been eagerly anticipating an opportunity to breach the 7-year ceasefire and obliterate Donbass.

Russia has acted to prevent such an opportunity from being offered.

The people residing in this region are of Russian ethnicity (although they are also former Ukrainians) and do not wish to be integrated with a ideologically-possessed "Ukraine" that is effectively under neo-Nazi Nationalist leadership (Azov Battalion/Regiment, Right Sector are openly neo-Nazis) — indeed, the Ukraine Government (post-Euro Maiden coup) actively sought to exterminate these "impure" Donbass Ukrainians in 2014; and it still intends to ethnically cleanse the Russian-Ukrainian inhabitants. There is no other way to achieve "reunification" with the Separatists under the current regime.

In 2014, the Maiden that was instigated by the West to effectively install a puppet-regime slaughtered 13,000 residents, before Russian peacekeeping efforts implemented the Minske Agreement that brought a 7-year ceasefire. Throughout that period, Ukrainian forces have been shelling the Donbass Separatists, and desiring to resume the conflict.

Upon the request of the people of Donbass to formerly recognise the Donske People's Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) in the Donbass region as independent, the Kremlin deliberated, and determined that it would acknowledge their independence from Ukraine.

Once independence had been declared and acknowledged by Russia (a strategic masterstroke) — Russia could act as a protector and enter Donbass as peacekeepers.

Thus, the Ukrainian forces have been denied an opportunity to re-engage with Donbass and resume their 2014 Civil War. Russian peacekeepers are now amongst the people of Donbass as defenders and preservers of peace.

The Western Deep State manipulators have been thwarted. They desired to reignite a sphere of active conflict that would draw Russian forces into Donbass to directly counterattack the Ukrainian forces: "invasion." Ukrainians, East Ukrainians (Donbass residents) and Russians would all die in ensuing battle. However, what Putin has achieved has preempted, and prevented such active conflict. Thus, Russia has outsmarted the predictable manipulations of the shadow warmongers.

To do nothing — would result in the inevitability of a Ukrainian military invasion and massacre of Donbass, and a larger rippling conflict.

To strategically enter the Donbass region ("invade") as a Russian peacekeeping force will ultimately save countless lives.

There will be no actual invasion: just a play for peace.

Vladimir Putin's peacekeeping intervention will halt the genocide of the Donbass people.

It will save lives.

That is what is really happening in East Ukraine.
