Ukraine - “Europe’s fatigue from Ukraine is the aggressor’s greatest ally”

Values of freedom.




Euromaidanpress: "The so-called “Ukraine fatigue” means a fatigue from Europe itself and its principles. Eminent Ukrainian, Czech, Polish, Lithuanian and other intellectuals and civic actors called upon EU politicians and society to not turn a blind eye to Russian crimes in Ukraine and not go back to business as usual with the Kremlin."







Euromaidanpress: “Europe’s fatigue from Ukraine is the aggressor’s greatest ally” – appeal of European intellectuals (public appeal addressed to EU leaders)

"Russia’s war against Ukraine, the occupation of Crimea, armed intervention in the Donbas, tens of thousands of victims, 1,500,000 internally displaced refugees are the problems which the average European wants to hide from behind the screen of exhaustion. Daily Russian diversions, provocations, and blackmail no longer appall a portion of the European political circles. They have become accustomed to this war. Routine exhausts compassion; indifference levels the victim with the aggressor.

But Russia’s war against Ukraine continues. The aggression continues. --- The ethical choice, meaning an adherence to the values which created Europe’s civilization, is the only guideline that can save Europe from errors or cowardice.

This ethical choice should envisage choosing the values of freedom and the rule of law over the immoral compromises of “realpolitik,” solidarity and mutual support over isolation, the vision of building a United Europe over local interests and ambitions."


("Among the 34 signatories are former Presidents of Lithuania and Poland Valdas Adamkus and Aleksander Kwasniewski, former Foreign Ministers of Lithuania, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, journalists and intellectuals.")
