Donbass, Ukraine, Russia and NATO - Dean O'brien

Independent journalist Dean O'Brien talks to Nina Kosta about the situation in the Donbass, the Eastern, ethnically Russian and culturally Soviet worker's region of Ukraine, formally recognised as the independent people's republics of Donets and Lugansk after the NATO backed fascist coup of 2014.

It is not being reported in mainstream media coverage today that:

1. NATO has been continually expanding eastwards since its formation, but especially since the collapse of the soviet union in 1991. It is encroaching upon Russia, violating its previous agreements, and the mass transport of war materials is a direct assault upon and threat to Russia's sovereignty.

2. In 2014 a NATO and EU backed coup led to the take-over of the Ukrainian governments by ultra nationalists.

3. That Ukrainian fascist junta, having taken Kiev and the government illegally with EU and US backing, declared war on ethnic Poles, Russians and jews, among others, outlawed the Russian language (spoken as mother tongue by 40% of the population of Ukraine), rehabilitated Nazi war-criminals while tearing down anti-fascist and soviet monuments, and started a war in the east against the predominantly Russian speaking and socialist-minded soviet peoples.

4. That is why the Crimea voted overwhelmingly in a sovereign referendum to quit Ukraine and join Russia.

5. The escalation of this conflict now is entirely the work of NATO and the Ukrainian far Right.

6. USA's goal is to stop the NORDSTREAM-2 gas pipeline from opening up, as it would bring Germany and Russia economically close. They will fail.

Britain needs a mass anti-war movement. Workers must demand that the British government cease its relentless drive to war with Russia - Boris and Truss are playing with our lives, and threatening to drag us into a war that could cost millions of lives, bring a full-blown refugee crisis within Europe, and threatens to degenerate into world war - nuclear world war.
