もし、あの時、クリミアがロシアに併合されていなければ・・・
歴史には、「もし」という言葉はありません。「もし、クリミアがロシアに併合されていなかったら」と考えても、過ぎた8年の時計の針を戻すことはできません。
プーチン氏を支持するロシア国民と世界の人々は、「もし」という自問を疑いもなく超えて、崇拝する指導者のもと熱狂の中を突き進んでいます。
「もし」という言葉はいつも、取り返しのつかない時の流れにあらがうこともできず、流され流されて、打ちひしがれた後に残るため息のなかでうつろに響きます。
「あのとき、もし・・・」と思うことのないよう、今を大切にしてゆきたいと思います。noteで読む皆様の平和へのメッセージを、いつも心待ちにしています💕
「あなたの話は全部ウソ」と告げた母親
ロシア国内にいる母親を心配してオンライン通話をしたときのことです。
「あなたが言っていることは全部フェイクニュースよ」
「戦争なんて起きていないでしょ」と言われました。
「それはアメリカのプロパガンダよ。動画を撮った人はスパイよ」などと言って、聞く耳を持ってくれなかったといいます。
それどころか、逆にロシアの「軍事作戦」の意義を強調されました。
“ウクライナでの被害はロシア軍によるものではなく、ナチスがウクライナを攻撃しているからよ。ナチスがウクライナの一般人を盾にしているの。ロシアは攻撃しているのではなく、ナチスから救うために戦っている。あくまで狙っているのは軍事施設だけ。テレビではそう報じているわ”

Ukraine War: British volunteer fighter on the value of the UK flag
A British man who has travelled to the frontline in Ukraine says wearing the UK flag on his shoulder has given Ukrainians fighters hope and the confidence to know they've not been forgotten by the rest of the world. He told Sky's Alex Crawford that he'd seen ambulances hit by Russian-calibre bullets and was in a children's hospital when a Russian artillery shell landed close by, blowing out the windows. He said he couldn't stand by and see war crimes being carried out on ordinary people.
Ukraine war: Does Putin want total devastation? | To the Point
The Russian army is pressing its attack against Kyiv and other major Ukrainian cities, shelling targets that include residential buildings and attacking hospitals and other institutions sheltering civilians. To some experts the tactics look familiar, like a page from Russia’s playbook in Syria. Indiscriminate bombardment of heavily populated centers, cluster munitions and sieges – all add up to a dirty war inflicting widespread civilian suffering.
