"Krone" commentary
Unruly Ukraine
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Putin's new press spokesman Donald Trump is mistaken if he believes he can drive Ukraine into capitulation with fake news: "(...) it has started the war" (...) "Zelenskiy a dictator with only four percent left."
Trump may yet experience his blue miracles with the Ukrainians' recalcitrance. Ukrainians are a tough people and deeply rooted in a long culture of resistance. The Poles, the tsars and Lenin experienced this - and Stalin tried genocide. Ukraine is the historical soil of the freedom-loving Cossacks under their hetmans. (The "Vienna Liberator" King Jan III Sobieski was previously Grand Hetman of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). After the Second World War, the partisan resistance lasted until the early 1950s, and when the Russians landed outside Kiev on February 24, 2022, Zelenskij & Co. rejected the American offer of evacuation: "We only need weapons."
The Ukrainians are now shocked by Trump's behavior, but equally shocked by Europe's lamentation after the Trump shock, as if the continent was now helplessly at Russia's mercy due to the lack of an American protective umbrella. How can it be, people in Ukraine are asking themselves, that 500 million Europeans need 340 million Americans - for their security against 140 million Russians who have been unable to break the resistance of 35 million Ukrainians in three years?
