– Most analyzes of the invasion of Ukraine seem to miss an important question about the relationship with the Russians: what do the Ukrainians want?
*) This question was asked by columnist Diogo Schelp, in a recent article published here in Gazeta do Povo. What do Ukrainians want?
“The analyzes that have prevailed in recent days ignore this point. They treat the conflict as if Ukrainian civilians were passive victims, with no will of their own, incapable of taking the country’s destiny into their own hands. letters, from Western powers who want to bring their weapons to Russia’s gates, in provocation of the Kremlin occupier, or from corrupt locals in league with European or Russian leaders,” Schelp wrote.
The central question that arises in the conflict is whether Putin had reasons to invade Ukraine, as a way of defending himself from the advance of NATO, or if the Europeans and the Americans are correct in painting Putin as a ruler with imperialist and expansionist plans. .
But in this scenario: what do the Ukrainians think then?
Polls showed the thinking of Ukrainians before the invasion
In February last year, the proportion of Ukrainians who had a bad or terrible view of Russia reached 42%. The data are from the Kiev International Institute of Sociology. Today, if similar research were carried out, the index would, of course, be much higher.
This episode of 15 Minutes podcast analyze this matter. The guest is exactly Diogo Schelp, columnist for Gazeta do Povo.
