Mirroring Israel’s eternal struggle for survival, Ukraine is fighting like hell against Putin’s genocidal war machine bent on wiping the very nation off the map. Euromaidan Press explains.

“They say we must be dead. And we say we want to be alive. Between life and death, I don’t know of a compromise,” Golda Meir, former Prime Minister of Israel.
Russia’s 20-month war in Ukraine has left many in the West puzzled about its motivations. Meanwhile, amid the new Middle East conflict, there are suggestions in the United States to shift assistance away from Ukraine and focus it solely on Israel.
However, Ukraine, much like Israel, is also facing an existential threat in its war with Russia. Euromaidan Press explains.
“If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends,” emphasized US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during the UN Security Council meeting in September 2022.
The evidence is clear: the Russian military is mercilessly devastating Ukraine. Alongside this, the genocidal rhetoric emanating from the Kremlin leaves no room for doubt about their evil intentions. Therefore, Kyiv’s belief in the gravity of the Russian campaign to destroy is entirely justified.
“History shows us that we should take dictators at their word. Those who incite genocide usually attempt to follow through. It is not unusual for them to publicize their campaigns through propagandists and media. Adolf Hitler had Joseph Goebbels, Alfred Rosenberg and others doing this work. Putin has Medvedev and the pundits of Russian state media,” American historian Francine Hirsch believes.
