Isolated and Forcibly Russified, Ukrainians Resist the Will of Two Criminals

Live from Ukraine

Donetsk Oblast’ – Russian forces continue to bombard all settlements in this region, as we have recently reported, using drones and shells. This relentless shelling is made worse by power outages so frequent that even glimpses of light are rare, leading to serious communication issues.

So much so that we have been unable to establish any planned contact with this newspaper’s editorial office or reach our families because the only available Starlink dish in a critical part of the Mykhailivska hromada of Donetsk was hit by shrapnel and debris resulting inoperable.

Unfortunately, our family members living in those territories of this same region which have already been overwhelmed by the russkij mir remain trapped in an even deeper information isolation. Representatives of the occupation authorities in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhia, and Crimea have issued orders banning the sale, installation, and use of satellite equipment capable of receiving Ukrainian channels. Since early November, Russian military and police forces have been conducting house-to-house searches not only to seize such equipment but also to pressure Ukrainians – some resisting harshly, as discussed in our other articles – into accepting Russian citizenship. To speed-up this forced passportization, the Kremlin has imposed a ban on unregistered Russian SIM cards, forcing users to link them to their passport data. As the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense (ГУР) stated, «this decision aims to accelerate forced Russification by putting additional pressure on Ukrainians who refuse to become Russian».

After years of living without medical care (often unable to even buy medicine), without a salary or pension (Russians have blocked cash withdrawals from Ukrainian bank accounts), without any external support(Western sanctions have excluded Russian banks from the SWIFT system), and increasingly being evicted from their homes (a simple notice of irregularity in property registration in the Russian system orders them to ‘self-Russify’, under penalty of expropriation), our loved ones now risk being unable to even get in touch with us.

The information repression system imposed by Moscow also forces Telegram channel owners with more than 10,000 subscribers to install a Roskomnadzor bot (the Russian federal authority responsible for supervision, censorship, and control of the media and telecommunications) with administrator rights. This allows the Kremlin to automatically and immediately delete posts, edit them, and block users and comments. As the ГУР emphasized, «the goal of these measures is to create an information bubble, cutting off the temporarily occupied territories from access to Ukrainian and international resources. Any criticism or information not controlled by the Kremlin is thus immediately censored».

Already restricted in Crimea, access to Telegram and WhatsApp is also becoming increasingly difficult in the other Ukrainian regions occupied and illegally annexed by the Russian Federation. Rather, Russian authorities are pushing users to install Max, a spyware disguised as a messaging app that enables the FSB to eavesdrop on conversations, locate users, and even activate the microphone and camera of smartphones without their owners’ consent.

It is our duty to write about this now that the current US administration is applying equalexerting equally strong pressure on the Ukrainian president to become complicit in a heinous crime: authorizing, completely illegally – that is, in violation of the Ukrainian Constitution and international law – the cession of territories and the forced Russification of Ukrainians.

In the russian plan for Ukraine’s capitulation that Washington emissaries placed on Zelensky’s desk as «a road to peace» the current US administration even included to recognize the legality of forcibly altered borders and referendums unrecognized by any country except the aggressor and its accomplices.

Technically, the US president can do so: the power to recognize a country’s sovereignty over unilaterally claimed territory is one of those granted to the Executive Branch by Article II of the US Constitution. But even with the formal power to do so, such a political act – contrary to the US position since 1945 – would constitute a clear violation of the United Nations Charter. Since Article VI of the US Constitution makes treaties considered federal law binding, the president could therefore be prevented from proceeding: by Congress, which can pass laws prohibiting any recognition and initiate impeachment proceedings; by the federal judiciary, which can declare his acts unlawful; and by the State Department, which, following guidelines based on international law, could block any recognition of illegal annexations as violating fundamental precedents of US foreign policy (Stimson Doctrine 1932 on non-recognition of Soviet, Iraqi, et al).

It should not be those who have fought for twelve years to defend the law that remain isolated, but the criminals who violate it.

被孤立和強製俄羅斯化的烏克蘭人抵抗兩個罪犯的意誌

作者：Giorgio Provinciali

烏克蘭前線報道

頓涅茨克州——正如我們最近報道的那樣，俄羅斯軍隊繼續使用無人機和炮彈炮擊該地區的所有定居點。這種無情的炮轟炸因頻繁停電而使情況更糟，即便是閃爍的一點光亮也變得難得，從而導致嚴重的通訊問題。

情況如此之嚴重，以至於我們與本報的編輯部都無法建立任何預定聯係，也無法與家人取得聯係，因為頓涅茨克的米哈伊利夫卡社區唯一可用的星鏈天線在一個關鍵部位被彈片和碎片擊中，致使其無法使用。

不幸的是，居住在這些地區，已經被“俄羅斯世界”所吞沒的領土上的家人們仍然陷入深深的信息孤立。頓涅茨克、盧甘斯克、赫爾鬆、紮波羅熱和克裏米亞的占領當局發發布命令，禁止銷售、安裝和使用能夠接收烏克蘭頻道的衛星設備。從11月初開始，俄羅斯軍隊和警察展開了逐戶搜查，不僅為了查扣這些設備，還為了給烏克蘭人施加壓力——其中一些人頑強抵抗，正如我們其他文章中所討論的——迫使他們接受俄羅斯國籍。為了加速這種強製護照化，克裏姆林宮對未注冊的俄羅斯SIM卡實施了禁令，迫使用戶將其與護照數據關聯。正如烏克蘭國防部軍事情報局（ГУР）所聲明的，“這一決定旨在通過對拒絕成為俄羅斯人的烏克蘭人施加額外壓力，加速強製俄羅斯化進程”。

多年生活在沒有醫療照護（常常連藥品都無法購買）、沒有薪水或養老金（俄方封鎖了烏克蘭銀行賬戶的現金取款）、沒有任何外部支持（西方製裁已將俄羅斯銀行排除在SWIFT體係之外）的情況下，以及越來越多的人被驅逐出家園（在俄羅斯體係中，一個簡單的財產登記不規範的通知要求他們“自我俄羅斯化”，否則麵臨征用的處罰），我們親愛的親人現在麵臨著甚至無法與我們取得聯係的風險。

莫斯科實施的信息壓製係統還迫使擁有超過一萬名訂閱者的Telegram賬號安裝一個包含管理員權限的Roskomnadzor機器人（俄聯邦負責監督、審查和控製媒體與通信的機構）。這使得克裏姆林宮能夠自動和立即刪除帖子、編輯內容，以及屏蔽用戶和評論。正如ГУР所強調的，“這些措施的目的是創造一個信息泡沫，將臨時占領地區與烏克蘭和國際資源隔絕。任何不受克裏姆林宮控製的批評或信息都將立即被審查”。

在克裏米亞已經受到限製的情況下，其他被俄羅斯聯邦占領和非法吞並的烏克蘭地區，訪問Telegram和WhatsApp也變得越來越困難。相反，俄羅斯當局正在推動用戶安裝Max，這是一款偽裝成消息應用的間諜軟件，使FSB能夠竊聽對話、定位用戶，甚至在未經用戶同意的情況下激活智能手機的麥克風和相機。

寫下這些內容是我們的責任：當前的美國政府正對烏克蘭總統施加同樣強大的壓力，要求烏克蘭總統成為一樁十惡不赦的罪行的同謀：授權完全非法的——即違反烏克蘭憲法和國際法——領土的割讓和烏克蘭人的強製俄羅斯化。

在華盛頓特使將一份俄羅斯的烏克蘭投降計劃放在澤連斯基桌麵上，並稱其為“和平之路”，當前的美國政府甚至在計劃中包括了承認被強行改變的邊界和公投的合法性，而這些公投未被任何國家承認，除了侵略者及其同夥。

從技術上講，美國總統可以這樣做：承認一個國家對單方麵聲索的領土的主權，是美國憲法第二條賦予行政部門的權力之一。但是，即使擁有這樣的正式權力，這種政治行為——與1945年以來美國的立場相悖——將構成對聯合國憲章的明顯違反。由於美國憲法第六條將條約視為聯邦法律並具有約束力，因此總統可能會被阻止繼續進行此舉：國會可以通過法律禁止任何承認，並啟動彈劾程序；聯邦司法機構可以宣布他的行為違法；而國務院則可以遵循國際法的指導方針，阻止對非法吞並的任何承認，因為這違反了美國外交政策的基本先例（1932年關於不承認蘇聯、伊拉克等國的斯廷森原則）。

應當孤立的不是那些為捍衛法律而奮鬥了十二年的人，而是那些違反法律的罪犯。
