Levy confessa i crimini ucraini, involontariamente | Contropiano
Сomputer translation from italian:
On 19 February the newspaper La Stampa published an article by the famous French philosopher and politician Bernard-Henri Levy. The article contains an account of his recent trip to Ukraine and the tour carried out together with the army along the front line in the Donbass.
Leaving aside any judgment on the author, the article and the meaning of the journey, it should be pointed out that this gives us (unintentionally) a very valuable data: Levy testifies to a serious war crime committed by the Ukrainians.
In his report, Levy tells of moving with soldiers and claims to travel along the front line with " a fake ambulance, armored, covered in red crosses."
This is unacceptable and must be severely punished, because the Geneva Convention prohibits this kind of gimmick. Using medical signs to conduct military operations as well as a properly normalized crime, is also something reprehensible from a human point of view.
For many years now there has been a rumour that the Ukrainian army was using medical means to move troops and conduct military operations. Not only does Levy's report confirm this, but it is a further leap in quality: no longer sanitary means used for operations, but armored means disguised as sanitary means. Another case in which the (sad) reality exceeds the imagination.
But this helps us to understand the real dynamics of the facts that sometimes seem too petty to be possible. On the battlefield Ukraine has criminal and immoral conduct, something that is constantly confirmed to us by the facts (the most striking case is the constant indiscriminate bombing of civilian buildings), but on which the international community does not want to take a stand. The reason is known and lies in the fact that often values are bent to geopolitical convenience: our governments are making a game in which you can only lose, both the game and your own identity.
It must also be remembered that in Donbass, the OSCE has deployed its own observers on the ground who should be monitoring precisely such events. At this point there is no excuse that holds: the crime, already several times reported, has been involuntarily confessed and therefore it is not enough to open some inconclusive investigation. If the OSCE wants to save face, intervene as quickly and resolutely as possible. If this were not the case, not only would the OSCE lose its credibility even further, but above all, international law and peace would be seriously affected.
This time we cannot pretend that we do not know, we must put an end to these crimes and punish those responsible.
