Trumps Double Standard On Culture and Russias War Against Ukrainian Identity
By:Giorgio Provinciali
Live from Ukraine ????????
Zelensky, Donetsk Zelensky is to blame. Vladimir Putin has ordered carpet bombings of Ukraine leaving its cities freezing, without electricity or heat, and increasingly without a stable internet connection butaccordingto US President Donald Trump,Zelensky is the obstacle, because Putin wants peace.
Yesterday, a high-explosive Russian (i.e., Chinese) dronestrucka childrens playground in the heart of Lviv, a European city just a few kilometers from Poland. The target? A statue ofStepan Bandera, a Ukrainian national hero and the father of the motto слава Укра?н?!
For someone whoadvocatesannexing Greenland to the United States for much the same reasons Putin attacked Ukraine, the blame falls on those who refuse to surrender to the (supposedly) stronger.
So much so that the thirteenth of the 20 points of the so-called Western Peace Plan (i.e., the Russian one, written in prose)reiteratesthat Ukraine should commit to launchingeducational programs in schools that promote culture and tolerance towards different cultures, eliminating racism and prejudice.
Ukraine. You read that right.
Troops indoctrinated in rashist ideology bombed a playground to bloodily cleanse Ukrainian culture and history, and the blame would fall on those who have been subjected to such attacks for 12 years.
Lets analyze this culture, which, according to Moscows emissaries in Washington, should be promoted in Ukrainian schools. Starting precisely with those that the Russian Federation bombed or damaged between February 2022 and December 2025:1,844, one in seven. Some 229 secondary schools were completely destroyed.
Many of our nearly 200 video reports were recorded from precisely thoseplaces protected by international law that Russia is razing, occupying, or polluting. In Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and many other Ukrainian oblasts,children are forced to study in underground schoolsand now even in kindergartens, as areuniversity students. In the Ukrainian territories illegally occupied by Moscow,textbooks and Ukrainian literature have been removed or destroyed.The Ukrainian language has been banned from instruction.Russian school programs have been imposed, promoting a Russian narrative that denies the very existence of the Ukrainian nation.Ukrainian intellectuals, teachers, and librarians have been illegally detained, deported, killed, or forced to flee.
Alongside the persecution of culture, the Russian regime dropped bombs:despite the two ДЕТИ (CHILDREN, in Russian) slogans standing out in large letters on the patios in front of and behind that building, Moscows air forcebombedanddestroyedthe Mariupol Drama Theater,killing300 defenseless civilians. Systematically violatingthe 1954 Hague Convention,Russia bombed and looted hundreds of Ukrainianmuseums,libraries,archives, and autocephalouschurches,includingthe UNESCO-protected Transfiguration Cathedral in Odesa. Asdocumentedby thatorganizationand theOSCE, this was not collateral damage buta strategy of symbolic annihilation of Ukrainian identity.
The Russian regime used the churches it did not destroy as vectors for espionage and disinformation. Ukrainian Orthodox Church facilities under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate (УПЦ) have beenexploitedto gathermilitary intelligenceor to serve aslogisticaland communicationchannelswith the occupying authorities, as wedocumentedfrom the field a month ago. Moscow has used faith to delegitimize the Ukrainian state in sermons, justify its invasion, and even hand out Hero of Russiamedalsand otherawardsto its undercover agents and traitors. The Pope of the Russian Orthodox Church (a former KGB agent) evenblessedthe Russian army for killing Ukrainians, promoting genocide.
This is especially notable given that the УПЦ continues its activities despite Ukraines adoption of Law №8371, which, starting September 2024,bansreligious organizations affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church. This is because unlike Russia Ukraine is governed by the rule of law, and, legally, this ban applies to individual entities, not to the denomination as a whole, requiring proof of a connection to the aggressor state in each case.
As we haveobserved, abbesses and archimandrites of those dioceses often refuse to acknowledge Russian aggression against Ukraine or even to answer simple questions, such as who, in their opinion, owns Crimea.
Just a week ago, a clandestine school wasdiscoveredin Kyiv, located in a УПЦ monastery, where students were educated using textbooks from the former USSR and learned Russian in classes devoted to a subject called Slavic language. In the basement of the Goloseevskaya Pustyn Monastery (Holoseevsky District), elementary school children were shown films and taught Russian-language songs and arithmetic based on Soviet publications from 1966.
Therefore, Ukraine is acting fully in accordance with international law, whilethe practices of the Russian Federation fall within thedefinitionof cultural genocide, as has already been recognized by historical precedents (Lemkin, 1944;Council of Europe, 2023).
What culture, then, does Vladimir Putins spokesman, Donald Trump, want to promote or export?

特朗普對文化的雙重標準與俄羅斯對烏克蘭身份的戰爭

烏克蘭前線報道????????
澤倫斯基，頓涅茨克澤倫斯基是罪魁禍首。弗拉基米爾普京下令對烏克蘭進行地毯式轟炸讓城市失去電力和供暖，陷入嚴寒，並且互聯網連接日益不穩定但美國總統唐納德川普卻說：澤倫斯基是障礙，因為普京想要和平。
昨天，一架高爆的俄羅斯（即中國）無人機襲擊了位於利沃夫市中心的一個兒童遊樂場，這座城市離波蘭僅幾公裏。目標？烏克蘭民族英雄斯捷潘班德拉的雕像，他是славаУкра?н?!（榮耀屬於烏克蘭！）這句口號的創始人。
一個使用與普京攻擊烏克蘭的理由類似的理由，主張將格林蘭島並入美國的人，在指責拒絕向（所謂）更強者投降的人。
甚至以至於所謂20條西方和平計劃中的第十三條（即俄羅斯的和平計劃，以散文形式書寫）重申，烏克蘭應承諾在學校開展促進文化和對不同文化的包容，消除種族主義和偏見的教育項目。
烏克蘭。你沒看錯。
被灌輸俄國主義意識形態的部隊轟炸了一個遊樂場，以血腥清洗烏克蘭文化和曆史，而責任卻落在那些已經遭受此類攻擊長達12年的人身上。
讓我們分析一下這種文化，根據莫斯科在華盛頓的特使所說，這種文化應該在烏克蘭的學校中推廣。讓我們就從那些在2022年2月到2025年12月之間被俄羅斯聯邦轟炸或損壞的學校開始：數量為1844所，約占七分之一。其中229所中學被完全摧毀。
我們近200個視頻報告中的許多都是在那些受到國際法保護但正被俄羅斯夷平、占領或汙染的地方拍攝的。在哈爾科夫、紮波羅熱及許多其他烏克蘭州，兒童被迫在地下學校學習，現在甚至在幼兒園裏也是如此，大學生也是如此。在被莫斯科非法占領的烏克蘭領土上，教科書和烏克蘭文學被刪除或銷毀，烏克蘭語的教學被禁止，而強加了俄羅斯的學校課程，宣傳著否認烏克蘭民族存在的俄羅斯敘事。烏克蘭知識分子、教師和圖書管員被非法拘留、驅逐、殺害或被迫逃亡。
在對文化迫害的同時，俄羅斯政權投下了炸彈：盡管該建築前後露台上都有兩個用大字寫著的ДЕТИ（在俄語中意為兒童）標語，莫斯科的空軍還是轟炸並摧毀了馬裏烏波爾戲劇劇院，導致300名無辜平民遇難。俄羅斯係統性地違反了1954年海牙公約，轟炸並掠奪了數百個烏克蘭博物館、圖書館、檔案館和自主教會，包括聯合國教科文組織保護的敖德薩變容大教堂。正如該組織和歐安組織所記錄的，這不是附帶損害，而是消滅烏克蘭身份的象征性滅絕戰略。
俄羅斯政權利用未被摧毀的教堂作為間諜活動和虛假信息傳播的渠道。在莫斯科宗主教（УПЦ）管轄之下的烏克蘭東正教會設施被利用來收集軍事情報，或作為占領當局的後勤和通信渠道，正如我們一個月前從實地記錄的那樣。莫斯科在講道中利用信仰來合法化對烏克蘭國家的否定，為其入侵辯護，甚至向其臥底特工和叛徒頒發俄羅斯英雄獎牌和其他獎項。俄羅斯東正教會的教皇（前克格勃特工）甚至為殺害烏克蘭人的俄羅斯軍隊祈禱，推動種族滅絕。
如果在那些禮拜場所中傳播的是這些內容，那麽人們自然會想知道，唐納德特朗普打算在烏克蘭學校中推廣什麽樣的俄羅斯文化。
這尤其值得注意，因為盡管烏克蘭通過了8371號法案，自2024年9月起禁止與俄羅斯東正教會有關的宗教組織，烏克蘭的烏東正教會（УПЦ）仍然繼續其活動。這是因為與俄羅斯不同烏克蘭是由法治管理的，法律上，這一禁令適用於個體實體，而不是宗派整體，並且每個案例都需要證明與侵略國的聯係。
正如我們所觀察到的，這些教區的修女院院長和大主教常常拒絕承認俄羅斯對烏克蘭的侵略，甚至拒絕回答簡單的問題，比如他們認為誰擁有克裏米亞。
就在一周前，在基輔發現了一所秘密學校，位於一個烏東正教會（УПЦ）修道院中，學生們使用前蘇聯的教材進行教育，並在一門名為斯拉夫語言的課程中學習俄語。在戈洛塞耶夫斯基修道院（Holoseevsky District）的地下室，小學生觀看了電影，並學習了根據1966年的蘇聯出版物編寫的俄語歌曲和算術。
因此，烏克蘭完全按照國際法行事，而俄羅斯聯邦的做法符合文化滅絕的定義，曆史先例（倫金，1944；歐洲委員會，2023）已對此進行了確認。
那麽，弗拉基米爾普京的發言人唐納德特朗普想要推廣或輸出什麽文化呢？
