Zelensky: Not the EuroVision but the Euro Stage. Bad vibes.

If the Eurovision denied a new appearance to Zelensky, we can’t say the same about European leaders. The Ukrainian President landed in Italy, France, Germany and in the UK. And let’s be straightforward; he gained much more than Eurovision could offer him.

The results have been the same for over a year: more money, new weapons, and zero political solutions. It needs to be clarified how this strategy can benefit any Ukrainians, because it’s destroying the country and killing people. But, still, it strengthens Zelensky’s position in Ukraine, helps the European leaders cover their failing internal policies, and keeps the party of war happy.

It’s important to note that every European leader has sung the same tune since February 2022: the need to push back the invader and defeat Russia. However, we’ve already pointed out how this approach is destroying Ukraine.

Russia undoubtedly invaded Ukraine, but there are reasons behind this tragic act. We are not saying this was the right choice, but discussing the causes and presenting solutions is crucial. Europe should lead negotiations because it was the main actor providing Minsk agreements.

Europe is not able anymore to advocate for peace.

But instead, Europe is not able anymore to advocate for peace. Therefore, peace is not even an option on the table. Politicians paid to find diplomatic solutions, defend stability and prevent deaths are, instead, pushing for a military defeat of Russia.

But what does it mean to defeat Russia?

Propaganda made millions of people blind, and most couldn’t understand the consequences. Let me help because it’s straightforward. If Russia is going to lose the war, it could use nuclear weapons. So, there is no way the West can defeat the military of the Russian Federation. It would mean ending the world.

  • So, why no one talks about political solutions?
  • Why is there no opposition to the mainstream media, where everyone repeats the exact words without adding anything new?
  • How did Europe end in this shameful position of advocating for war instead of peace?

There is space for diplomacy.

We can’t say President Putin didn’t try diplomacy before and after the invasion. The problem is that no one wants to talk to him, at least with serious proposals, which puts Europe in a terrible position in the eyes of history.

Putin signed the Minsk agreements twice, constantly warned NATO to don’t interfere in Ukraine’s business, and in December 2021, sent an official letter to prevent the invasion working with the West to find a solution. He never got a reply.

The West started ridiculous talks, saying that Russia won’t invade Ukraine. Well, they did. And now the same mad politicians say that Russia will never use nukes. Let’s hope Putin won’t prove them wrong at our expenses.

Zelensky’s trip to Europe is welcome, but we want to see also Putin talking to our leaders. We need at least one political solution drafted by the European leaders. One, at least, shouldn’t be difficult.

The biggest regret.

If Europe had acted in February 2022, Russia wouldn’t be in 20% of Ukraine’s territory today. Donbas would have political independence as Putin wished before the invasion. And, especially, more than 400,000 people wouldn’t have died in this stupid war.

As citizens of the so-called “free world,” we should stand in the name of peace. We can’t allow this to continue because a new counter-offensive will mean other hundred of thousands of deaths, with the risk of a nuclear escalation.

China is trying to pursue the difficult path of peace, but the European leaders slammed them, warning China about sanctions and economic consequences. Sorry, but who can call this Europe a place of freedom and democracy?

Eurovision inspiration

No one is going to win the contest of this war because humanity already lost. But unfortunately, all the European leaders continue singing the same propaganda song. Still, we hope Eurovision will inspire the world this time, bringing people and leaders together, because we need a piece of new music to change the narrative, with a chorus of peace.

What’s your opinion? And how the conflict can be ended? Let me know in the comment section below.
