Ukrainian MP Calls Zelensky ‘Criminal’ For Not Entering Negotiations in Face of Russian Spec Op
2 hours ago
Member of the Verkhovna Rada Ilya Kiva says that the Ukrainian government has missed opportunities to negotiate with Russia, calling the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky a “criminal” for introducing martial law and inciting hate.
In his video address, posted in Telegram on Sunday, Kiva said, “Zelensky is a criminal. He also knew about the start of the military operation in advance, but did not use the opportunity for negotiations. On the contrary, he introduced martial law, pushing people to certain death,” he said.
The lawmaker criticized the current government for “doing everything to make the evacuation of Kievans impossible.” He insisted that that “thousand of guns” distributed to Ukrainians purportedly without any control and background checks was a mistake.
“It was practically a license for murder,” he said, referring to numerous reports and videos alleging that many civilians in Kiev have already suffered from what has been described as banditry and that the shootout heard in the Ukrainian capital was reportedly caused by clashes between locals.
“Today many talk about our president Zelensky’s heroism, who pushes people to die,” he claimed, adding that heroism is about “rescuing, protecting and being ready to negotiate.” Ukrainian authorities are determined to “draw blood as much as possible” to incite more hatred, and Zelensky “has to be held responsible for that,” the lawmaker said.
On 27 February, Zelensky's office signaled readiness to hold talks to discuss “Ukraine's neutral status.” President Putin, in response, offered to meet in Belarus, but the location was unacceptable to the Ukrainian side.

West Turned Blind Eye to War Crimes by the Kiev Regime, 'Genocide' in Ukraine, Lavrov Says
25 February, 09:17 GMT
Later, the proposal was accepted and, according to Ukrainian president’s press secretary Sergei Nikiforov, “consultations on the time and place of the talks are going on at these hours.” On the same day, Putin’s Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian delegation arrived in Gomel, Belarus, awaiting the talks.
Meanwhile, Zelensky said in his latest address that he "does not really believe" in the success of the negotiations in Gomel, saying he agreed to hold talks so that “not a single citizen of his country had any doubts that he, as president, tried to prevent war when there was a chance, albeit small.”
On 25 February, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted while speaking to officials from Donbas, LPR Foreign Minister Vladislav Deinego and DPR First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Peresada, that he doubts Ukraine really wants to discuss its “neutrality,” as Zelensky did not agree to negotiate earlier with Russia when the latter put forward proposals for ensuring security in the region and refused to comply with the Minsk Accords.
“We offered any security options,” he said. “President Putin spoke about this at a press conference following talks with President [of France Emmanuel] Macron. He said bluntly: NATO expansion is unacceptable, but we want to seek through joint negotiations, through joint efforts, such options for ensuring security, guaranteed by appropriate conditions.”
On 24 February, President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in Ukraine, responding to an appeal from leaders of the Donbas republics for help against Kiev's aggression. He stressed that the Russian military does not seek to occupy Ukrainian territory, but demilitarization and denazification. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, only military infrastructure will be targeted by the Russian military and not cities and the civilian population.

How EU Turns Its Peace Budget Into War Chest to Provide Lethal Arms to Ukraine
While urging Russia to halt its special operation aimed at the de-militarisation and de-nazification of Ukraine, EU officials are due to unveil a programme allowing all of its 27 members to provide lethal weapons to the Eastern European state. Berlin has already vowed to send 1,000 anti-tank arms and 500 Stingers to the Ukrainian military.
"On the one hand, talking about peace and condemning the aggression of Russia and on the other hand weaponising the conflict even more, is, to say the least, bad judgement. But sending medical supplies is one thing, prolonging the war is another, especially after provoking it," says Frank Creyelman, a Belgian honorary senator and honorary member of the Flemish Parliament.
Germany on 26 February reversed its policy of never sending weapons to conflict zones, claiming that Russia's special operation "imperiled the entire post-World War II order" in Europe, according to Politico. Earlier, Germany had resisted the pressure from its EU and NATO allies, refusing to send lethal military aid to Ukraine.
Berlin's change of heart "could mean a rapid increase in European military assistance for Ukraine," writes Politico. Large portions of Europe's weapons and ammunition are German-manufactured, which gives Berlin legal control over their transfer.
Meanwhile, EU officials are working on a programme to arm Ukraine, even though the bloc's treaties prohibit it from using its normal budget to fund military operations. However, Brussels decided to use an “off-budget” financing vehicle, called the "European Peace Facility," to provide weapons to Kiev.
"Obviously, sending humanitarian aid is something that is good and should be supported, but I do think sending military aid, especially at this point, is simply adding fuel to the fire. And I think it does abdicate the EU's role as at least a self-proclaimed peacemaker," says Dan Kovalik, author and adjunct professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh.
No Longer a 'Peaceful' Alliance of Democracies
Germany's change of heart could be explained by growing pressure from Washington, according to the observers. Still, it is not the first time that Berlin has reversed its rules of not sending its weapons to conflict zones, according to Dr Srdja Trifkovic, a Serbian-American publicist, historian, and foreign affairs editor for Chronicles magazine.
"It was the government of Germany that was heavily arming both the Croatian separatists before the disintegration of Yugoslavia and actually supplying all kinds of arms from the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) stocks to the Croats, even while Yugoslavia still existed," Trifkovic says. "It was also the Germans who, together with the British and the Americans, supplied the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) with lethal weapons to be used against the Serbs. And finally, it was the Germans who participated with their fighter planes and bombers in the aggression against Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999, together with the other major nations."
"The EU has ceased to be a community of sovereign nations which cooperate in order to facilitate the economy and… has become simply an accelerated tool of the United States’ project of global dominance," says Trifkovic. "It is a very sad and demeaning role for the 'old Europe,' but it is the one that the European nations themselves led by Germany and France have allowed to happen," the historian says.
Proxy War Against Russia in Ukraine
Sending lethal aid to Ukraine by the EU amounts to declaring a proxy war on Russia,
"It is clear that they wanted Ukraine to induce and to provoke Russia. Just the way that they encouraged [then-Georgian President Mikhail] Saakashvili to provoke Russia in the summer of 2008 in South Ossetia," says the publicist.
What's worse, this proxy war against Russia comes at the expense of the Ukrainian people, says Dan Kovalik. "The United States in the UK clearly wound Ukraine up, clearly provoked Russia, clearly wanted this conflict and then once it started, they just backed off and watched it happen," he says.
"I would very clearly say that I don't think the United States supports Ukraine or the Ukrainian people. Obviously, if it did, it would have done much, much more to prevent the tragedy in the Donbass that's been going on for the last eight years," the academic notes.
Instead, the Biden administration slapped sanctions on the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, cutting them off from economic trade, after they had suffered a lot of damage from the Ukrainian government forces, according to Kovalik. "Why are they being punished?" the professor asks.
However, the US and European elites don't care about their own people either, according to Trifkovic: ."

West's Media Machine is Faltering
The mainstream press is lashing out at Russia as "the biggest bogeyman" in the world, despite decades of US-NATO aggression in Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, according to the observers.
"When you see the Eiffel Tower and other iconic buildings being lit up as the Ukrainian flag, you do think, well, why not the Yemeni flag or the Palestinian flag or the Afghan flag or the Iraqi flag?" asks Dan Kovalik. "You can go down the line, I mean, all the countries that the West has invaded and destroyed. And there's very little hand-wringing about that."
However, it's not that nobody has questioned the Western countries' actions, notes Trifkovic. Furthermore, over the years, the US' "democracy expansion" project has repeatedly failed in different parts of the world, according to him. The publicist notes that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is still at the helm in Syria; Egyptian President Sisi had managed to remove the Muslim Brotherhood following the US-hailed Arab Spring; and US troops chaotically withdrew from Afghanistan.
"So yes, hypocrisy has always been there," says Trifkovic. "But more and more people on both sides of this global divide understand that what passes for the West in the discourse of the mainstream media is not the reality."
