Europa cúmplice se omite na grave crise humanitária da Ucrânia, tragédia de milhões.
Mas apoia fascistas de Kiev, que bombardeiam cidades inteiras.
Europe’s mainstream media have been giving only scant attention recently to the humanitarian situation in eastern Ukraine. There are also very few Western reporters in eastern Ukraine, which is viewed (correctly) as a highly dangerous environment. Yet, the toll of human suffering in eastern Ukraine continues to rise.

To about 1,500, in terms of the lives lost—which compares to Gaza. To about 800,000, in terms of refugees and internally displaced persons, which is about one-half of the figure for Iraq. Of that number, 700,000 have crossed the border into Russia. The city of Donetsk, with a normal population of a million people, stands half-deserted and fears being stormed. What is striking in this situation is that only Moscow seems to care. o Kiev, there is officially no humanitarian catastrophe in the country’s east. To the international community at large, the situation is being adequately addressed as it is and needn’t be treated as a serious emergency. The geopolitics behind these humanitarian concerns or the lack thereof are clear.
Mortos 1.500, só Moscou protesta.
Europa inteira se cala.
Europa inteira se cala.
Moscow calls for attention to the situation in Donbass in order to put Kiev on the spot for the massive suffering and damage the Ukrainian army and paramilitary forces are causing. The rebels whom Russia supports call for a cease-fire, on humanitarian grounds, to win a breathing space now that Kiev’s forces are on the offensive.
Once the cease-fire takes effect, they also hope to engage Kiev in negotiations about the future status of Donbass, which is anathema to the Ukrainian leadership. Under these circumstances, media spotlight would definitely help Moscow’s cause and hinder Kiev’s actions. Of course, pretending that there is no humanitarian crisis and quietly letting Kiev to finish off the rebels and re-establish control over Donbass is a gamble. While the Western media are looking elsewhere, the Russian ones are heavily focused on what is going on in Donetsk and Lugansk and the many small towns in between. When a certain level of suffering is reached, the situation may become intolerable, in President Putin’s view. As a result, a Russian humanitarian intervention, with some military backing, may ensue. If this were to happen, this would raise the stakes dramatically for everyone: Ukraine, Russia, and the West.

Mas os caminhões entregaram os suprimentos, salvaram vidas e retornaram vazios.
The White House has issued a statement saying Russia's humanitarian convoy, which delivered aid to Ukraine, had a military motive, without anything to back its accusation. It also claims that most of the vehicles were inspected in Russia, despite checks by foreign journalists and the International Red Cross. Gayane Chichakyan sums up Washington's reaction.
