Retired German general Harald Kujat, who was the German military’s Chief of Staff and chair of NATO’s Military Committee, has exposed the reality of the Ukraine-Russia war. And an article by Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen captures Kujat’s verdict: the Ukraine war is founded on western lies that UK media parrot as if they are unimpeachable. Kujat’s conclusions are eerily familiar to any British or western reader:
that the Ukraine war has been prolonged by a series of false Western narratives:
that Russia’s invasion was unprovoked, that Moscow intended to conquer all of Ukraine, that Ukraine could achieve military victory, that Russia was unwilling to negotiate, and that continued Western military assistance would eventually change the strategic balance.
These assumptions have obstructed diplomatic solutions, contributed to Ukraine’s destruction and brought Europe dangerously close to direct confrontation with Russia.
Diesen’s article, and the interview he conducted with Kujat, strip each of these lies bare and expose a warmongering UK-EU-NATO axis determined to bleed Russia at the cost of 27,000 Ukrainian lives a month – but actually putting the whole of our continent in grave peril and threatening to throw UK and other European youth into the same, avoidable, meatgrinder.
Needless war
Unlike those of the EU and UK, Kujat’s and Diesen’s points withstand scrutiny. NATO has admitted that Russia poses no immediate threat – if that changes, it will be because of western recklessness and provocation.
Ukrainian diplomats admitted long ago that they had agreed a peace deal with Russia in the first few weeks after the invasion – but it was sabotaged by the UK and US. US diplomat Victoria Nuland confirmed it, indeed boasted of it, only last summer.
War with Russia is entirely avoidable; the British political, security and military state show no interest in avoiding it when it can be used to inflate military spending and cut social safety nets.

I hope former General Harald is not like Lembit Opik, doing Russia’s propaganda for it. This story comes hot on the heels of a NERVE story – a months-long investigation by the journalist and whistleblower Sergei Cristo into a Russia-backed influence campaign. The story involves fake news sites set up by propagandists as fronts, essentially, to land pro-Russian, anti-Ukraine video “commentary” from (perceived) influential figures across Europe. Lembit Opik is one of them . Do read the Nerve run by Carol Cadwalladr who has done so much good work digging into Tech Bros of Silicon Valley and their bunker mentality while they develop AI and data centres and lick Trump’s bottom. Anyway – I support Ukraine always have and I don’t support vile Putin as Skwawkbox seems determinedly to do and eschew all reason , blames NATO for everything, bends truth and cherry picks and avoids, and is always talking about Azov Nazis instead of Nazis here, and I rarely see attacking Putin who is as fascistic a war-mongering evil dictator who uses his own soldiers as fodder and kidnaps Ukrainian children. Putin and Trump are like brothers in arms. I really think you should change tack Skwawk.
