Putin and terror

An all-out war is being waged in Ukraine, not the hit-and-run that Putin expected.

Neither Ukraine's epic internal resistance nor Europe's massive solidarity campaign were in his plans when he launched the invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, February 24, eleven days ago.

Neither the reaction days after the EU to assume for the first time in its history the shipment of combat material in aid of the Ukrainian Army nor the growing trickle in Russia itself of dissidents opposed to that war of conquest.

Some prominent heads of cultural institutions in Russia, a few billionaire oligarchs and groups of brave citizens are reluctant to accept the logic of imperialist reason that militarily attacks its weak and unruly neighbor.

The multiple sanctions agreed by the EU and the G-7 are beginning to have real effects on the value of the ruble and on the Russian economy, to which must be added the massive suspension of trade deals and the abandonment of the country by the largest international companies , from technology to clothing manufacturers.

The destabilization of the world economy and the incalculable but real consequences of the war already affect the West, but Putin's Russia is also being a victim of its own war, and this may be one of the internal damages that allow a change of horizon.

The freezing of the funds of the oligarchs of the circle of power begins to touch the money of those who believed themselves protected in perpetuity by the Kremlin, and it is the Kremlin that is now putting their fortunes abroad at risk.

But it is Putin who remains in command in a war without quarter: he does not respect the humanitarian corridors and the attack on the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, unless it was a mistake, can only come out of a nihilistic mind, ready for collective suicide rather than give up their sinister purposes.

Risking unleashing a nuclear explosion in the largest power plant in Europe to cut off electricity production to the territories controlled by the Ukrainian government is a decision of diabolical irresponsibility and probably a war crime, with cities without supplies, without electricity or heating.

Today, only 11 days after the beginning of the invasion, there are already more than 1,300,000 refugees, mostly women and children, in desperate caravans leaving for other countries.

That is why it is still essential to welcome them,

Beyond speculation based on psychological traits and historical experience, no one is in a position to foresee the evolution of the war or the steps that Putin is willing to take in the use of chemical weapons or even nuclear weapons.

There is no indication whatsoever that allows us to deduce a de-escalation or even a credible ceasefire that would activate a negotiating table without the flagrant extortion under which the previous two were held (nor the one planned for tomorrow, Monday).

Any alleged conversation today has the background noise of aviation bombardments on the civilian population and the explosions of missiles launched indiscriminately in inhabited cities, with the trail of desperate refugees and children terrified with panic.

The live broadcast offered by the networks and their videos counterprogram Russian propaganda on alleged specific military targets while the strangulation of the media in Russia, with prison sentences of up to 15 years, has left the country without truthful information inside and outside .

The Kremlin has viciously pursued free information for years, and the invasion has come full circle.

The war that he himself has launched has culminated the construction of unlimited power, but the war itself may be the mistake that causes unbearable isolation in a globalized and open world.
