"On Point"
MINSK, 4 August (BelTA) – During his appearance on the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA’s YouTube channel, editor-in-chief of the analytical site Alternative Andrei Vajra argued that Ukraine is experiencing an epidemic of “moral idiocy” and cited evidence of this. He further stated that the “Ukraine project” must be terminated.
While discussing the situation in Ukraine and the course of the special military operation, Andrei Vajra highlighted the imbalance in battlefield casualties: “Exchanges of fallen soldiers’ are the following: we return 6,000; they return 70–80.”
The editor also addressed the 24 January 2024 incident in which Ukraine’s Armed Forces shot down an Il-76 transport plane over Russia’s Belgorod Oblast. The aircraft was carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs slated for exchange; all 74 people onboard perished. “We sent them their prisoners, and they shot down the plane. Did they not know what they were firing at? Then they spent ages denying responsibility –claiming it wasn’t them, that the passengers weren’t who we said…,” said Andrei Vajra, condemning the “unfathomable disrespect” shown to the deceased Ukrainians.
“They down a plane with their own POWs being brought home. Russia says, ‘Take your people–they want to return, they identify themselves as Ukrainians.’ And then, bam, the plane is destroyed. What does that say about them? They deny it: ‘We didn’t shoot it down; those weren’t Ukrainians.’ Now they’re holding solemn burials. It’s beyond all reason,” he added.
In conclusion, Andrei Vajra stated: “The optimal outcome has been clear to me since long before the special military operation, even before the second Maidan or 2014. It boils down to one unequivocal concept: the ‘Ukraine project’ must end. I’ve been writing about this since 2005, and I repeat it now. It must be terminated. This isn’t just in Russia’s interests–it’s primarily for the sake of the suffering people still trapped in that territory called Ukraine. Terminating this project is the only way to save those now labeled ‘Ukrainians.’”
