"Moral swamp". Reznikov stated that not all in Europe recognize the scale of the problem of

Many in Europe refuse to recognize the scale of the Russian problem that the international community faces. This was stated by Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov in an article for Atlantic Council. Reznikov stressed that the successes of Ukrainians in the war against the Russian invasion are encouraging, but Russia has not abandoned its plans for the destruction of Ukraine.

Video of the Day "This is well understood by Ukrainians who understand that they fight not only for their country's independence, but also for their survival as a nation. However, there are still signs that many in Europe refuse to recognize the scale of the problem of Russia, which the international community faces, ”the Minister of Defense said.

Reznikov cited Amnesty International's report, published in early August, which he called deeply false because it did not recognize the circumstances of Ukraine's struggle for survival and refused the Ukrainians in the right to self -defense.

"The fact that Amnesty International's report was enthusiastically perceived by the Kremlin and used to justify Russian war crimes in Ukraine, in Ukraine, eloquently speaks of a moral swamp, which now has a large part of the international community," Reznikov wrote. The Minister of Defense noted that the Russian invasion revealed many richest and most developed countries in the world to leave its comfort zone and protect the basic principles of Western civilization.

“Such mistakes give today's tyrants a clear advantage. They are able to take the initiative and in many cases imperceptibly promote their plans until it is harmful, ”Reznikov warned. To illustrate this statement, he recalled the international expansion of Russian propaganda media imperial and the creation of a powerful Kremlin -controlled information apparatus designed to undermine Western societies from the inside.
