  • When most people in the West think of the war in Ukraine, they think of February 24, 2022 when Russia bombed Kiev. But for 8 years prior, there had been a war raging in the eastern part of the country that received little attention because its reality was inconvenient for mainstream Western narratives.
    In the Donbas region, an estimated 15,000 people had died following what many there described as a US-backed coup in 2014 that gave rise to an anti-Russia government and helped empower far-right sentiments across Ukraine.
    To discuss the war in the Donbas, Rania Khalek was joined by Fergie Chambers of Berkshire Communists and a journalist who recently published a piece in Globetrotter about his time in the Donbas, titled “A Donbas Diary: Looking Back at Early Stages of Conflict in Ukraine.”
    Fergie’s article discussed in this episode: www.newsclick.in/donbas-diary...

      For 1. There were not 15,000 civilian dead between 2014-2021 the facts are public only 3400 civilians killed about 1/3 from separatist shelling, 6500 militia soldiers & 4500 Ukr army & 500 Russian soldiers. The story of 8 yrs of shelling is russian propaganda only 7 civilians died in 2021 with 79 Ukr army killed along the contact line. most deaths occurred between 2014-15 before Minsk agreements. Public health care did not shut down in 2014 neither did universities, neither was austerity "imposed",as Ukraine defaulted on foreign currency debt and restructured, its budget was also under stain as Russian no longer paid for the Crimean naval base, reduced gas transit fees and wasn't bailing out the corrupt Yanukoych regime with a 12bn loan. It also lost large tax revenues from large industrial/mining companies in Donbass which was about 25% of GDP. It was not a civil war what he doesn't say is how the Russian GRU stoked fears of the Kyiv government from 2004 onwards and look up all the initial leaders of the rebellion they were all Russian citizens not locals (Alexandr Borodai, Girkin aka Strelkov , Akyansov in Crimea a criminal non entity who ran as a Russian funded independence party who no one voted for in the last free Ukr elections).
      He says many people fled to Russia from Donbass Fact: UN displaced people report 1.5m fled to Ukraine 0,5m to Russia. I have done business in both Russian and Ukraine and know quite a few "Russian" Ukrainians who fled westwards as they were lucky enough to be well educated and could work elsewhere who wanted nothing to do with a bunch of criminals imposed and funded by Russia.
      Its funny how these commentators understand nothing about how the anti Russian and nationalist sentiment has grown because of the Russian invasion in 2014. Look up the long history of the Russification of Ukraine since Tzarist times.

      Instead, we largely hear a rather Polish-centric narrative about life in the Warsaw Pact countries & about Russia that is parroted en masse in the Baltics, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic & Croatia, all of which, including Poland collaborated with the NAZIs except for the Czechs.

    this conflict was established from the first days of the existence of modern Ukraine.
    Part of the population wanted independence, part wanted to preserve the union.
    Later, the first ones became pro-Western, the second - pro-Russian.
    Over time, this rift only worsened, because politicians constantly speculated on these topics, instead of consolidating society around unifying ideas.
    All this is reflected in electoral statistics of Ukrainian elections and other sociological studies.
    In the 14th year, the most radical pro-Western part of Ukrainian politics decided to stage a coup and the conflict entered an open phase.
    Funny fact - Ukrainians call the ousted Yanukovych pro-Russian because he refused to sign the European Association. However, it was Yanukovych who prepared it and refused at the last moment, because the European Union set unfavorable conditions for the Ukrainian economy.
    Simply put, he was not pro-Russian, he just knew how to count.)

      This ls such an important point. People don't seem to understand that disbanding the USSR led to an insane amounts of reactionary nationalism in all the former people's republics. A lot of revisionist history and unfounded myth-making became commonplace in all of Eastern Europe, which escalates ethnic tensions, and pits peoples, who before could cooperate around common goals, against each other.
      Also, from the very beginning of contemporary Ukraine's formation, USAID and other so-called 'NGOs' established their foothold there, to work toward 'democratic goals'. Which apparently means making the country into a western debt-colony. Much democracy, very freedom, yes...

    One thing Fergie gets wrong at the beginning is on the history of the Donbas: All the major cities of eastern and southern Ukraine were founded in the late 1700s by Catherine the Great. By the time the Soviet Union came about, this was already the industrial heartland of Ukraine. For the rest, thanks Rania and Fergie for a very informative talk.

      @@jillfryer6699 The region was sparsely populated steppe before these cities were built under the aegis of Catherine. Before being taken over by Russia much of the region was part of the Ottoman Empire. One pre-existing ethnic group there were the Crimean Tatars, a Turkic group -- many of these left for Turkey and Central Asian areas when Russia took over from the Turks. Another group, slighly west of the Donbas and north of Crimea, were the Zaporizhian Cossacks -- some consider these among the "original" Ukrainians though they allied themselves with Imperial Russia against the Ottomans to the south and the Poles who occupied what is now western Ukraine. Catherine's city builders included European industrialists and architects many of whom brought their own workers from their countries, who ended up permanent residents in these cities. Odessa became an international city with lots of Greek, Italian, Jewish, and other emigres making up its growing population along with Russians and Ukrainians. What are the current people's of these areas ideas on the matter now? By all accounts the Crimeans are overwhelmingly Russian or pro-Russian and in great majority favored re-incorporation into Russia after the Maidan events in 2014. Sentiments are more divided in the other regions of eastern and southern Ukraine, but quite arguably more Russian-leaning than Kiev leaning.

    • @ianstobie
      @ianstobie Год назад +7

      ​@@jillfryer6699 it's worth reading up on this because it is not obvious. Before Peter the Great, his daughter the Empress Elizabeth and finally Catherine the Great eventually, over a long extended effort, militarily conquered the area, it was basically uninhabitable. This was because of extensive annual slaving raids conducted from the Crimean Khanate, which was a vassal state of the Ottoman empire. The slaves, sometimes tens of thousands of them a year, were sold to the Ottomans or died in transit. This pattern wasn't entirely novel - Byzantium too was a slave society, and the hard to defend steppe land to the north of the Black Sea was also a source of slaves to them.
      Indeed, even earlier the Roman poet Ovid vividly describes how people in the fields further south in modern-day Romania roughly 2,000 years ago had to run to the shelter of the city walls to escape marauding horse nomads keen to carry them off. This was at the start of each winter, when the Danube froze and raiders from the steppe were able to get across to raid south around Tomis, the small greek Black Sea trading post he'd been exiled to by Octavian (Caesar Augustus).
      So on the whole northern edge of the Black Sea and well inland, in what became southern Ukraine and southern Russia, settled agriculture and industrial activities such as mining were not possible until the slaving threat was removed. The workforce would simply be kidnapped. But some limited militarised settlement was possible along the wide rivers, and on the river islands, where Cossacks - who had their own horse warrior defensive system, were frontier pioneers from perhaps the late 15th century. They had a complex relationship with the tsars because they were themselves often outlaws and fugitives, but they could and did extend Russian or at least Slavic Christian influence into this very dangerous region.
      Peter the Great started the serious push into what became known at the time (and right up until 1917) as Novorossiya, "new Russia". He conscripted serfs from around Russia to build a Black Sea fleet once suitable ports were established at the river mouths. But he had to pull back to deal with the serious threat from Sweden in the north and concentrate on defending his gains on the Baltic, including Narva and St Petersburg. Catherine's forces later completed the conquest of the Novorossiya region and definitively ended the great slave raids. The region was then systematically repopulated, drawing in settlers from not just Tsarist ruled lands but in smaller numbers from further west, to pull in mining and industrial skills.
      Typical of the scholarly Catherine, the cities founded or refounded under her rule from the 1780s often have names derived from Greek - Odessa, Sevastopol and even Kherson. This was part of a wider strategic objective to establish or re-establish Greek orthodox Christian culture in the area and retake Constantinople. This last bit obviously didn't happen, partly because of British and French intervention in the next century to assist the Ottomans.

      if those on the Donbas didn't like Ukraine and loved Russia so much why didn't they just move to Russia? it was only a couple hundred miles away? I think people recognize a slum lord when they see one and Russia looks like a slum with poorly and cheaply built buildings and unimproved infrastructure.

Donbass, and adjacent Rostov Oblast (Russia) were in a way more emblematic of the USSR than Moscow itself.. definitely a part of the backbone of the Soviet Union. People came here to work from all over the Soviet Union ---this is why the people there are hated by the "right"---they & their way of being with each other is to be destroyed and this history erased....

    One point about immigrant labor in Poland etc. Right now the fed is trying to reduce inflation by increasing unemployment. The same goes for European countries.

Another opportunity for the rentier class to push down working people.

    @spartan5921 Год назад +8

    The US stated that from the fall of the USSR, they were involved in the Ukraine and looking at ways to gain a foothold within the country due to the Anti Russian attitude of the USA. Much like Taiwan, until the US interference in 2014, there was more than likely a common normal relationship between the people as the country seemed to function without US interference.
    Bring in the Coup in 2014, where it is well known that the USA did force a change of government, a diplomatic elected government, which by any normal standards would have supporters and non supporters. Be that as it may, people live on until the next election and vote again.
    Imagine if Ukraine went to the USA and was going around like Victoria Nuland citing the KKK, or BLM to assist with the regime change in the USA. You would not last five minutes and yet, she, Biden and the ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt worked hard to eject Yanokovic, with her famous telephone call stating who to put in place and how the EU can go F themselves.
    Now the original Army that was built up over that period from 2014 till 2021, has been wiped out. A second Army made up of the reserves and territorial army with the experienced officers became the replacement. They showed great ability and steadfast determination to defend their country, but there was certain battalions such as AZOV and other similar branded types who the majority of the world will not tolerate. Yet the USA, NATO and Western nations who fought against this regime in WWII are now willingly supporting this disgusting type of group.
    Ukraine is now at the point of building a third Army, however the truth does come out and video footage of 15/16 year old boys and girls are being forced to join the military. After a week of bare training they are sent to the worst place on earth to fight in a situation of little chance of survival. There is troops revolting and refusing to fight, complaining of lack of food, clothes and ammunition, just as the basics. Being asked to go to a place where they have lost three hundred people and there is only fifteen of them left, exhausted and tired. They refuse and argue, just sitting down and not moving. This is not war, these are war crimes and murder, but who is responsible? USA for pushing the Ukrainian Govt for results? Ukraine Govt for being zealots? NATO for being a demanding ally?
    It is at a point now where Neither NATO or the USA can accept the loss. The USA is 5 for 5 since WWII in losses, NATO is guilty of war crimes in Serbia in 1999, but not even the UN will hold either one responsible for the crimes they are committing.
    I do not support the Western Ukraine government in any way or form, but I do not sanction the needless loss of life nor the ruination of a country for the benefits of another or the leader of the country.
    Peace is preferred, and I see that what the USA and Zelensky want are nothing but a pipe dream. Face the facts and understand that the people of these regions have voted freely for their allegiance to the RF. The UN should have no trouble in acknowledging this and this is the end of the story.
    If Taiwan people should vote to unify with mainland, peacefully before the years end. Will the UN acknowledge this, and will the USA deny them this right?
