The motivation for the Russian invasion as described is at odds with how it is presented in the media controlled by the Russian government.
- wrp 5y agoI think his narrative contradicts pretty much everyone's media--Russian, Ukrainian, American, etc. His account is a bit jumbled as he throws in a lot of details, but plenty of those details are things I've read about elsewhere, so it's nice to see them put together. Note, I don't think he is really trying to defend Russia. I think he is making the point that nobody is as innocent as they are trying to appear.
- sorokod 5y agoOn closer reading, I'd treat the article as a starting points for your own investigation. It seems to drive its own agenda regardless of the content it links to. For exmple "OSCE observers have never observed the slightest trace of Russian units operating in the Donbass" while in the linked article we have "… we have seen convoys leaving and entering Ukraine on dirt roads in the middle of the night, in areas where there is no official crossing. In one border area, we’ve also made this public, including some footage we have put out. We have seen specific types of weapons that we have described in detail, including electronic warfare equipment. We have spoken to prisoners taken by the Ukrainian forces who claim to be members of the Russian armed forces fighting on rotation in Ukraine. We have seen men with the insignia of the Russian Federation, but you can buy this jacket anywhere. We have also seen the insignia of Germany, Spain, and others—but also of the Russians." and so on.
