With the inauguration of US President Trump, the war in Ukraine has begun to move towards a ceasefire. This is because trust has been built between the leaders of the US and Russia. Trump does not believe that " Russian forces unilaterally invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022." Following the 2004 Orange Revolution, the Maidan coup of 2014 ousted pro-Russian President Yanukovych, and Ukraine fell into a state of civil war over the independence of two Russian-speaking eastern provinces.
Surprisingly, Western media, including Japanese media, continue to ignore the events from 2004 to 2014, and the fact that the failure of the Zelensky government to implement the Minsk Agreement II, a resolution passed by the UN Security Council to grant a high degree of autonomy to two eastern provinces with a predominantly Russian population, led to the special military operation by Russian forces that took place on February 14, 2022, as claimed by Putin. The Russian military's "invasion" of Ukraine was an exercise of the right of collective self-defense, along with the eastern provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, which had declared independence. "At least according to Russia's claims..."
The Trump administration, which has embarked on peace talks with Russia, understands this "Russian assertion." US Secretary of Defense Hegseth has openly suggested that the seizure of Crimea in 2014 was based on unique circumstances from the Soviet era, and that "there is little chance of it being returned to Ukraine ." This is due to the recognition that at the root of the various factors behind the Ukrainian war are the globalist ambitions of US and British finance capital and the military-industrial complex to overthrow the Putin regime and dominate Eurasia.
In the midst of all this, the Japanese media are unanimously criticizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, saying that if we allow a clear violation of international law, then we are accepting the unilateral change of the status quo by force (by China) that is occurring in East Asia. Then, what about the US invasion of Afghanistan and the Iraq War, which were carried out under the pretext of the war on terror? The Iraq War, which is said to have caused 3 million civilian deaths, is an unquestionable violation of international law, and the Iraqi regime was changed as a unilateral change of the status quo. The Western media, which are silent about the destruction and barbarism of the US led by the neoconservatives and condemn the "Russian invasion of Ukraine," have already abandoned their journalistic duty of "digging up the truth."
I repeat: the war in Ukraine did not start in February 2022.

The Maidan coup of 2014 accelerated the separatist and independence movement from Ukraine in the eastern provinces. The Ukrainian government armed neo-Nazi groups, including the Azov Battalion, and began to commit atrocities in the eastern provinces. Germany and France mediated the Minsk Agreements (photo). Minsk II in 2015 was passed by the UN Security Council and gained the status of international law. An end to the civil war was agreed upon. However, as former German Chancellor Merkel confessed, "The Minsk Agreements were merely a time-waster." The Ukrainian government and the US neocon administration behind it waited for Donetsk, Luhansk, and Russia to lose their patience.
At the very least, we can say that Russia is not invading Ukraine militarily out of territorial ambition.
On November 21, 2013, Ukrainian President Yanukovych postponed the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU, judging that it would not benefit the Ukrainian people . This led to large-scale demonstrations in Ukraine from the end of 2013 to February 2014. The US National Endowment for Democracy ( NED ) and George Soros also invested huge amounts of money . Three new television stations were established. With careful preparations, moves to overthrow the government began.
As the Ukrainian war intensified, Putin was demonized and a campaign to portray him as a mad dictator unfolded, and as ceasefire negotiations in Turkey progressed, the Bucha massacre was fabricated. How will the media, who fully supported this, report on the Trump-led Ukrainian peace process? With the revelation of the backstage of USAID, the day is fast approaching when the full picture of the deep state will come to light. Still, are you saying that Trump is leading a conspiracy theory regime that is in league with the devil Putin's dictatorship?
The Western media is being destroyed by Trump.
