Who is to blame?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people in Ukraine, the horror is just beginning. Hiding from bombardment in their basements, they will soon face hunger and then epidemics\u2026 And above them, on the streets \u2013 explosions, fire, the thunder of tanks, the whistle of bullets, the debris of fallen buildings, the cries of the wounded and dying, the foul smell of unburied corpses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But who is to blame?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone knows the answer. Putin is to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No argument about it. Putin personally bears enormous responsibility \u2013 responsibility in line with the power that he has concentrated in his hands. But is there no one at all in his entourage capable of speaking out honestly as a colleague and not simply as a subordinate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And is there in the Russian armed forces not a single general or officer capable of refusing to carry out an unlawful order? And is there in Russia\u2019s wide expanses not a single work collective prepared to strike against the war?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many, many people have made their modest \u2013 or maybe not so very modest \u2013 contribution to creating the conditions in which this war has become possible. In Russia, in Ukraine, in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ukraine, these are the politicians who have shown intolerance for the needs and demands of the Russian-speaking regions. And the soldiers who have been shelling the residents of the Donbass since 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the West, these are the politicians in the service of the military-industrial complex who have refused to take account of vital Russian security interests and single-mindedly expanded NATO with its missiles to the East, right up to the very borders of Russia. The so-called experts, Western and Ukrainian, who have insisted that there can be no concessions to Russia, no compromise with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final analysis, what is to blame is the very system of dividing the world up into separate states and blocs with conflicting power interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
