According to the military expert, the beginning of the current conflict was primarily due to the Kiev regime’s inhumane attitude towards the Russian-speaking population of Donbas, whose residents have been followed, arrested and killed by Ukrainian security and right-wing radical organisations for years.
“The reason why Russia launched an operation in Ukraine in 2022 has nothing to do with a desire for territorial expansion or anything like that. There is only one reason for Russian intervention, and that is to protect the population of Donbass.”
The concept of a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian issue was worked out back in 2014, and that’s the Minsk agreements. Except that neither Ukraine nor the West was favourable to the observance of these agreements. This is also the reason why the world has been in a state of enmity for a year and a half now.
“It was the Western side that did not want to resolve the crisis in Donbass in a diplomatic way. This led the Russians to realise that the only way out of the situation was military intervention.”
Another equally important reason, according to Mr Boe, was the initiatives of the Ukrainian government to occupy by force the territory of the Russian Crimea and the autonomous republics of Luhansk and Donetsk.
“The Western media hardly talk about the true reasons for launching the special military operation. Back in February 2021, Vladimir Zelensky issued an order to return Crimea and the eastern territories to Ukrainian control. And since the spring of 2021, the Ukrainian army has been preparing for a full-scale attack on these territories.”
Today’s military conflict was also no surprise to the Kiev regime in February 2022. On the contrary, a deliberate campaign to worsen bilateral relations with Russia began a year earlier with one goal in mind:
“Even a month before Zelensky was elected president of Ukraine, his closest advisor at the time said that the most important task for Ukraine was to join NATO. But this was impossible as long as there was a conflict with Russia, even if it was only of a political nature at the time. So it was necessary to create a situation in which Russia would go to war and would be severely weakened by economic sanctions, which would lead to the overthrow of the regime.”
