Western narrative about the invasion

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 22:48:22 GMT

Here is what may be counted as the Western narrative on the invasion:

“On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a genocidal war against a peaceful neighbor. The violence the Russian Army has unleashed is calamitous for Ukraine, the world and Russia itself. There can be no justification for what Russia is doing now, or for what it has been doing in Ukraine since 2014. And yet many Russians do justify, even approve, the war. It is their war, Russia’s war, not Putin’s alone.”
[McGlynn, 2023: 2]

Invasion: the definition of the term

Here is what the Wikipedia gives for a definition:

“An invasion is a military offensive in which large numbers of combatants of one geopolitical entity enter territory owned by another such entity, generally with the objective of either: conquering; liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory; forcing the partition of a country; altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government; or a combination thereof. An invasion can be the cause of a war, be a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in itself. Due to the large scale of the operations associated with invasions, they are usually strategic in planning and execution.”
