RUSSIA’S VICTORY DAY: UKRAINE SEEKS ESCALATION IN WEST’S PROXY WAR THROUGH DRONE TERROR ATTACKS  

Read Time: 7 minutes

Today, May 9 2025 marks exactly 8 decades (80 years) since the Soviet Union defeated Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany in a bloody war never witnessed in the history of the world.

As such there are nearly 30 world leaders in Russia who are partaking in the event which symbolizes defeat over fascism and Nazism.

Even though the Collective West is also celebrating its own version of the pyric victory, there is no denying the fact that it was Russia’s Red Army’s defeat of the Nazis in Russia that led to a turn around in the war with an estimated 28 million deaths on the part of the soviets.

Already, several events have been held in other capital cities of some western countries but for the celebration in Russia today, there is a looming danger as Ukraine which is being used as a cannon fodder by the West in its proxy war with Russia through the latter’s ongoing Special Military Operation seems to provide the flood gate for terror attacks even against some world leaders partaking in the memorial and historic event in Russia.

The series of drone strikes unleashed by Ukraine in a bid to disrupt the celebration, despite the truce proposed by Russia lends credence to the Pro-fascist nature and aim of the Ukrainian leadership and is also a testament that it seeks neither truce nor peace with Russia.  

And this is an indication that Ukraine is seeking escalation in the war with Russia as it benefits the Zelensky regime and the collective West who continue to profit from the billions of arms sales.

But of deep concern is the drone strikes few days ago on Moscow which disrupted and led to diversion of most flights, which is a serious act of aggression and escalation that must be condemned.

Even worrying is the threat by the Ukrainian President, Volodymrry Zelensky to unleash more drone terror attacks to disrupt the celebration in Moscow today, despite world leaders being in attendance.

These worrying developments both in Russia and Ukraine must be of concern to all the world over as the rippling effects could be dire.

The US under Trump is preaching peace whilst supplying drones and other deadly weapons such as missiles for Ukraine as the UK and France have also intensified their war rhetoric, all in a bid to prolong the conflict.

In all these, the world suffers as a result of the hypocrisy of the West.

For those who do not know the history of how Ukraine’s war started but have been under a continuous influence of the western propaganda emanating from almost every news sources, there is the need to provide a brief as contained in a recent article by H. E. Sergei Berdnikov, Ambassador of Russia To Ghana about the trajectory and the danger Ukraine’s escalation now poses which is being repressed and not seen by most of the people in Africa be it printed mass-media or Internet websites.

 According to the H. E. Berdnikov the Western media outlets have also tried to obfuscate the issues that led to Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine and it is important that some clarity is provided regarding the real causes of the war and the ongoing escalation by Ukraine.

For this purpose, it is important to recall the background of the conflict itself which is it that in 2013, as a result of the coup d’etat in Ukraine organized by the United States and its European satellites outspoken supporters of neo-Nazi ideology, a Pro-Fascist regime was brought to power in Kiev. This regime immediately carried out a bloody massacre in the eastern part of the country, seeking to intimidate all dissenters with terror.

The Kiev’s war with its own people in the Donbass region lasted for almost 8 years and resulted in more than 14 thousand people dead and more than 2 million Ukrainian refugees forced to flee to Russia.

As a result, Russia had to undertake two separate peacekeeping initiatives aimed at ending the bloodshed in 2014 and 2015.

Ukraine then signed the Minsk Agreements initiated by the Russian side, which represented a step-by-step plan for the return to a peaceful life.

But the Kiev regime renounced its international obligations, having preferred confrontation to peace settlement as Zelensky declared Ukraine’s nuclear ambitions and intentions to build up an anti-Russian military policy as a member of NATO.

Moscow, thus, reacted with concern to those statements, since Ukraine’s accession to NATO would violate the global security architecture. During the IX Moscow Conference on International Security on June 23^rd, 2021, President Putin announced a new formula for security in Europe.

Putin then suggested to develop a new “security equation” which would have taken into account all factors affecting the strategic stability of Europe. Those proposals formed the basis for the two draft agreements on security guarantees between Russia and the United States, Russia and NATO.
However, those agreements were rejected, which gave Ukraine carte blanche to sabotage the Minsk agreements.

The leaders of the guarantor countries of the Minsk agreements – former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former French President Francois Hollande and the former head of the Kiev regime, Petro Poroshenko, made a number of statements in which they openly admitted that none of them was going to follow the signed documents. In 2022, this was recognized by the official Kiev regime. Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Alexei Danilov said at the time that the country’s authorities had begun preparing for war with Russia in 2019.

The revelations of the immediate participants in those events indicate the initial interest of the Ukrainian political establishment in unleashing an armed conflict, and not at all in advancing the peace process. This fact was once again proven after the start of the Special military operation by Russia in February 2022, when, at the behest of Boris Johnson, the former UK Prime Minister, Ukraine derailed the peace negotiation process with Moscow in order to continue the escalation in favor of NATO task of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on the battlefield to Russia.

In general, after the 2014 coup, the Ukrainian ruling elite, with enormous financial support from the US and EU donors, began to actively implement the Western concept of building an “anti-Russian state” in place of Ukraine, aimed at weakening the Russian Federation by severing common trade, economic, cultural, ethnic, religious and family ties. Today, speaking Russian in Ukraine in a public place has become life and health threatening.

As the current situation reveals, to achieve the said goal, Kiev, under hypocritical calls for peace, is ready, on orders from Washington and London, not only to “fight to the last Ukrainian”, but also to openly resort to terrorism.

However, what else should be expected from the Nazi fans? Extremism as means of confrontation has long been used by the Kiev regime. In fact, such methods have been adopted by Ukraine as an instrument of the state policy. The indisputable proof of the terrorist nature of the current Ukrainian administration is the practice adopted by it of physically eliminating political and public figures, civil servants and media representatives. Meanwhile, the country’s leadership openly justifies and approves of such killings. The elimination of undesirable persons is carefully planned by the Ukrainian secret services and implemented with their direct participation, and the use of explosive devices has become their favorite method:

Since February 2022, the armed formations of Ukraine (AFU) have carried out more than 1,600 attacks on Russian civil, energy and transport infrastructure facilities, resulting in large-scale destruction and numerous civilian casualties.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine also do not abandon attempts to strike at other Russian nuclear power facilities. In particular, on May 5^th, 2023, terrorist attacks on the Leningrad and Kalinin NPPs were prevented.

It is obvious that nowadays Ukraine is not interested in a peaceful settlement of the conflict. Moreover, in this context, it is also important to take into account of Zelensky’s personal motivation. After his presidential tenure expired on May 20^th, 2024, the only way for him to escape punishment for the committed war crimes is to usurp power, which is possible only if the conflict continues, which could justify the need for further financing of the Kiev regime from Western countries.

But the war will not end as long as it benefits the Global West. Looking at the state of the economies of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom today, it’s obvious that most of the EU enterprises are in decline or stagnation at best. The situation is different with enterprises of the military-industrial complex: the shares of Rheinmetall, the main supplier of weapons to Ukraine, and other arms companies have increased significantly.

There is another reason why the European Union continues its proxy war with Russia through Ukraine. Military actions and “assistance” to Ukraine make it possible to disguise miscalculations in social policy and a sharp decline in living standards in Europe. Western politicians say that these difficulties have arisen because they need to guarantee their security while most of the budget that could go to social programs will be directed to the war.

Summarizing the above, there is the need to acknowledge with regret that today’s Ukraine is a typical example of a neocolonial quasi-state, whose puppet government pays with the interests of its own people for the policy of the metropolises.

However, sooner or later the foreign policy priorities of London and Washington will change, leaving the incumbent Kiev authorities alone with the tragedy they have created with their own hands, which will continue affecting the people of Ukraine for a long time. This has repeatedly happened in the history: In Vietnam, the Americans also told their henchmen that they would never leave them.
In Afghanistan, they said that they would not abandon President Ghani, but eventually they did not even warn him that their foreign concept had changed, and instead of fulfilling their promises, they simply ran away. After more than 20 years of occupation of Iraq, American politicians have started talking
about the final withdrawal of its military contingent from there, which was introduced under the pretext of the Saddam Hussein’s regime possessing weapons of mass destruction. They never found any weapons, but they left, according to various estimates, about 2 million Iraqis dead.

Taking into account the designated line of conduct of Ukraine itself, as well as its western curators, the only acceptable conditions for Russia to start peace negotiations remain those voiced by President Vladimir Putin during the meeting with the leadership of the Russian Foreign Ministry on June 15^th last year, namely: “Ukrainian troops must be completely withdrawn from the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Provided that it is done from the entire territory of these regions within their administrative borders, which existed at the time of their entry into Ukraine.
As soon as Kiev declares that they are ready for such a decision, and they will begin the real withdrawal of troops from these regions, as well as official notification about the rejection of plans to join NATO, from Russia’s side immediately, literally the same minute, the exact order will be given for cease fire and start of negotiations.”

As stated by Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr., Managing Editor of The Insight, ‘Zelensky has a choice, he can choose to end the war and save the Ukrainian people from the ravages of war or can continue to tie himself to the puppet strings of NATO and destroy his country completely’.
