OPINION | Empire ambitions [Earning Our Tomorrow By Philip Ella Juico] READ:
The Russians had hoped to proclaim victory by capturing Ukraine’s capital Kiev and disposing of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, his family, and all other Ukrainians, government and private personalities, who “brought Ukraine closer to the west,” a few days aPutin’s first rationale for the invasion was to “de-Nazify” Ukraine. The truth of the matter is the message did not fly since Zelensky and millions of Ukrainians are Jews.
As of now Putin and his generals are concentrating on capturing the key industrial city of Severodonetsk in Ukraine’s eastern region. This shift in focus occurred almost four months after Putin invaded Ukraine to “de-Nazify” the former member of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics . Now, Putin has radically changed his tone. The Russian President, who has ruled Russia for more than 20 years, is now invoking Peter the Great to justify the invasion of Ukraine.
Many measures are being taken by Russian authorities to support the use of patriotism as the reason for the war against Ukraine. One of these is the creation of normalcy among Russian cities. One obvious example of this attempt is, as reported by CNN, to assure the Russian person-in-the street, especially the middle class, that everything is under control despite all the sanctions that have hit the Russian economy.
