The Mask of the West Slips in the Donbas

Live from Ukraine ????????
THANKS TO ALL WHO BACK US ALONG OUR WAY
Donetsk Oblast As we emerged from the hovel where wed holed up while darkness and fog favored the Russian firestorm, we came across a womans leg. A KAB glide bomb had swept through a building less than two hundred meters away, demolishing it to its foundations and tearing the limb off up to the groin before hurling it in our direction. Of those bombs, which are too often missing from reports on the vectors of death used against Ukraine, the Russians have fired nearly a thousand this week alone. More than half of them being directed at this area of Donbas, equipped with UMPK kits andlatest-generation Chinese microturbojets.
Nearly a thousand kilometers away, in the heart of western Ukraine, the sameterrorist matrixhad just hours earlier caused destruction in Ternopil. Rescue efforts went on for more than a day, resulting in 26 deaths and 98 people injured, including 18 children. Nineteen people were burned alive, among them three minors aged 5, 7, and 16. A Russian Kh-101 missileproduced in late 2025, i.e., recently,had struck the apartment building where they were sleeping.
The manufacturing date of that device should awaken the consciences of the countries including European nations that continue to fund Russian terrorism by buying record amounts of hydrocarbons from Moscow.
Traveling from Donbas to the areas of Kharkiv Oblast liberated in 2022, the situation remains unchanged. A few days ago, in Balakliia, we faced the destruction caused by two Russian missiles launched by the Iskander system against two apartment buildings filled with civilians, killing 3 and injuring 13.Both of those missiles were recently made. Further north, in the center of Kharkiv, a barrage ofChinese and North Korean drones and missiles purchased by Russia caused 46 casualties. All civilians.
Dreams, lives, and businesses lost weigh heavily on the scales of those who continue to trade Ukrainians blood for Russian gas, LNG, and oil.
Bitterly, this is one of the ingredients in the mortar being used to build whats called peace over the heads of Ukrainians. A figure, cited yesterday by Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenegard, illustrates the situation:
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the European Union has imported 124 billion euros more from Moscow than it has provided in aid to Kyiv: 187 billion versus 311 billion.
Almost double.
Those who have lived through the war here for 12 years see this hypocrisy persist just as long.The very same Russian-speaking Ukrainians whom Putins regime claims to want to save by bombing them reject both the Russkij mir and the peace projects that smell of surrender.Written by the same hands that in the invaded Donbas and Crimea kept the Russian regime afloat by issuing billion-dollar checks every month.
Without mincing words, these people reject hypocrisy as a binding agent to build the wall of a truce because anyone who speaks to them of peace ends up bombing them.
According to Western plans, the wall that should separate democracies from regimes will pass through here, cutting across eastern Ukraine from north to south. It involvesdemilitarizing those who, with weapons in hand, protected democracy from tyranny and forcing them to abandon lands, homes, and lives defended with blood and tears for twelve years. This is a fate shared by those who would find themselves living in a no-mans land, under the influence of a regime but belonging to a free country, and despite having fought more than anyone else for that freedom.
Over 12 years, the Russian army has advanced 50 kilometers toward Pokrovsk, with only 11 kilometers toward Toretsk. Here in Donetsk, ditches, barbed wire, minefields, and lethal traps now separate one row of houses from another. The safety corridorsroutes of fear or deathare normal paths of communication, used even by civilians on scooters. Bread arrives every morning, and the best meals are still enjoyed here, becausethose who remain have resisted. And that food tastes like freedom.
So, regardless of who ultimately drops their masks by calling a delusional surrender plan made with the Russians apeace plan,its appropriate for everyone who thinks they can decide the fate of these people to do some soul-searching. If they still have one.

西方在頓巴斯的麵具滑落

烏克蘭前線報道????????
頓涅茨克州（Donetsk Oblast）當我們從躲避借助黑暗和霧氣肆虐的俄軍炮火的小掩體出來時，我們發現了一條女人的腿。一枚KAB滑翔炸彈從不到兩百米遠的建築物中穿過將其夷為平地，並撕斷了這個女人的大腿，然後朝我們這邊拋來。這些炸彈在針對烏克蘭的死亡報告中常常被忽略，而俄軍僅這一周就發射了近一千枚，其中一半以上是針對頓巴斯這一地區，裝配了UMPK套件和最新一代的中國微渦輪發動機。

近千公裏外在烏克蘭西部中心，幾個小時前，同樣的恐怖網絡在特爾諾皮爾造成了毀滅性破壞。救援工作進行了超過一天，襲擊導致26人死亡，98人受傷，其中包括18名兒童。19人被活活燒死，其中包括三名未成年人，年齡分別為5歲、7歲和16歲。一枚在2025年底生產的俄羅斯Kh-101導彈擊中了公寓大樓，當時居民正在睡覺。
該設備的製造日期應該喚醒那些仍通過從莫斯科購買創紀錄數量的碳氫化合物繼續資助俄羅斯恐怖主義的國家的良知，包括一些歐洲國家。
從頓巴斯前往2022年解放的哈爾科夫州地區，情況依然沒有改變。幾天前，在巴拉克利亞，我們目睹了俄軍伊斯坎德爾係統發射的兩枚導彈對兩棟滿是平民的公寓樓造成的破壞，導致3人死亡，13人受傷。這兩枚導彈都是近期製造的。在北邊的哈爾科夫市中心，俄軍購買的中國和北朝鮮的無人機及導彈轟炸造成46人傷亡，全部是平民。
失去的夢想、生命和生意，沉重的加在那些繼續以烏克蘭人民的鮮血換取俄羅斯天然氣、液化天然氣和石油的人的身上。
令人痛心的是，這也是在烏克蘭人民頭頂上構建所謂和平的水泥中的一部分成分。瑞典外交部長瑪麗亞馬爾梅爾斯特內加德昨天引用的數據，說明了這一情況：自俄羅斯全麵入侵烏克蘭以來，歐盟從莫斯科進口的金額比對基輔提供的援助多了1240億歐元：1870億對3110億。
幾乎是雙倍。
在這裏經曆了12年的戰爭的那些人看到，這種虛偽持續了同樣長時間。正是普京政權聲稱要通過轟炸來拯救的那些講俄語的烏克蘭人，拒絕了俄國世界（Russkij mir）和那些帶有投降氣息的和平計劃。這些計劃正是那些在被侵占的頓巴斯和克裏米亞中，通過每月開出億萬支票維持俄羅斯政權的人所書寫的。
直言不諱地說，這些人拒絕以虛偽作為建立停火牆的粘合劑，因為任何向他們談及和平的人就是最終轟炸他們的人。

根據西方的計劃，應該將民主與政權分開的牆將在這裏修建，從北到南貫穿烏克蘭東部。這涉及讓那些手握武器的、保護民主免受暴政的人員非軍事化，迫使他們放棄用鮮血和淚水捍衛了十二年的土地、家園和生活。這樣的命運同樣降臨到了那些發現自己生活在無人區的人身上，他們受到一個政權的影響下，卻屬於一個自由的國家，並且為這種自由的奮鬥付出了比任何人都多的努力。
在過去的12年中，俄軍向波克羅夫斯克推進了50公裏，向托列茨克僅推進了11公裏。在頓涅茨克，現在這裏的溝壕、鐵絲網、雷區和致命陷阱將一排房屋與另一排房屋隔開。安全走廊恐懼或死亡的通道成為了常規的交通路線，甚至連騎滑板車的平民也在使用。麵包每天早晨都能送達，而這裏的人們仍然可以享用到最豐盛的餐點，因為留下的人們已經堅持了下來。那份食物的味道如同自由。
所以，無論最後是誰摘掉麵具，將與俄方達成的妄想投降計劃稱為和平計劃，每一個自以為可以決定這些人命運的人都應該進行一些靈魂的反思。如果他們還有靈魂的話。
