Problema este în lipsa de coerență: pe de o parte Kievul a ales să ducă luptele în mediul urban (o decizie corectă din punctul de vedere al eficienței), pe de altă parte tot Kievul reclamă atacarea țintelor civile. Raportul Amnesty International deranjează tocmai pentru că scoate la iveală această ipocrizie.

Ana Iordănescu (Teze și sinteze): Z cel mult iubit*
v-a lăsat impresia unui Zelensky inofensiv și bonom. Nu este. A „reușit” pierderea unei suprafețe importante din Ucraina și, cel mai probabil, sub conducerea sa, Ucraina va înceta să funcționeze în interiorul granițelelor recunoscute la 24 februarie ,distrugerea a 80% din totalul forțelor militare profesioniste, anihilarea completă a opoziției și confiscarea sediilor acestor partide. Paranteză:pentru naivi, interzicerea oricărei vieți democratice în Ucraina, chiar și mimată,a început în iunie 2021, drept urmare nu are legătură cu războiul

D. Davis: How The Ukraine War Could End: Stalemate Or Russia Captures Kharkiv And Odessa
If scenario two plays out, however, Zelensky’s position will be markedly worse. He will have lost nearly half his country and an irreplaceable majority of his trained and experienced troops. It is possible to mobilize many hundreds of thousands of new troops, but years of experience and training can’t be replicated; it has to be built, and that will take years. The Ukrainian government would be faced with the ugly choice of either trying to continue the fight into 2023 – with the prospect it would continue losing even more territory and men – or seeking a negotiated settlement from a position of weakness.
D. Davis: The Dark Scenario: Ukraine’s Military Can’t Beat Russia And Collapses
An unemotional assessment of this war would lead to the conclusion that the Ukrainian political leadership should seek the best-negotiated settlement it could get now, while it still has complete control of Kharkiv, Odesa, and most of Donetsk Oblast – and before another significant city is turned to rubble and tens of thousands more of its citizens killed or wounded. But war is not an unemotional endeavor, and Zelensky has to make choices that are anguishing and very much filled with emotion.

De ce Zelensky ar fi dorit războiul?
Afirmam într-un articol de ieri (aici) că nu numai Putin dorea conflictul cu Ucraina, ci și Zelensky dorea, poate cu aceeași ardoare, un conflict deschis cu Rusia. De aceea a făcut cam totul (nici nu era greu, admit acest lucru) ca Putin să atace. Mai jos argumentarea mea privitor la această ipoteză, argumentare posttă în […]
Eu și războiul din Ucraina
În primul rînd de ce ”războiul din Ucraina” și nu ”războiul ruso-ucrainean” (sau altă variantă asemănătoare?) Pentru că eu personal consider că războiul nu se duce între Rusia (puneți ce epitete doriți înainte sau după numele statului agresor) și Ucraina (puneți ce epitete doriți înainte sau după numele statului agresor) ci între Rusia și SUA […]
