The French writer Jacques Sapir provides some very welcome respite by way of
analysis of Ukraine compared to the drivel of the likes of the NPA and Fourth
International. There is much to be challenged in Sapir's proposed solutions to
the war in Ukraine. Some are downright delusional, such as his proposal for a
UN peacekeeping force headed by India and South Africa, and, with respect to
NATO, his proposal that the imperialist alliance either bring Russia into its
fold or be replaced by a new, Europe-wide military alliance to include Russia.
But regardless, his view of the fundamental causes and dynamics of the Ukraine
war as well as the possible solutions are a breath of fresh air and
indisputable.
" We must state again here that the behavior on the terrain of some of the Kiev
forces amounts to war crimes."
"The solution of a 'simple' federalism, which would have been possible in March
or April 2014 is today dead. The violence of the Kiev forces and the thousands
of dead of Donetsk and Lugansk have made it impossible. We must meditate on
this fact: what would have been possible at the beginning of the conflict,
without the disproportionate usage of violence of which the Kiev forces made
themselves guilty, is no longer possible now."
