The Arab League: “It is necessary to direct all efforts to resolve the crisis!” — Who is obstructing?

According to Cairo, the Arab League is following the events in Ukraine and “their serious military and humanitarian consequences” with “great concern”.

The organization, which held an emergency meeting on Monday at the request of Egypt, expressed support for all efforts aimed at resolving the crisis through dialogue and diplomacy in such a way as to ensure the safety and security of peoples in this important region of the world.”

At the meeting, which was chaired by Kuwait, the Arab League stressed “the importance of observing the principles of international law and the UN Charter”.

It also stressed “the importance of continued cooperation and coordination between Arab countries to maintain the security and safety of Arab communities currently in the region, to facilitate border crossings by those who wish to cross into neighboring countries, and to maintain the security and safety of members of Arab diplomatic missions.”

Assistant Secretary General Hossam Zaki said during the meeting: “We believe that it is extremely important for all peace-loving countries and organizations to act quickly to stop the escalation, not to foment it, to restore dialogue and seek to resolve the crisis with the necessary diplomacy to avoid a deterioration of the situation and the expansion of the conflict.”

He added: “Our belonging to the Arab region can make us more aware than others of the devastating consequences of wars and the use of military force.” … We hope that in these dangerous circumstances, each side will bear its own responsibility and that all efforts will be directed to rid the civilian population of the consequences of the deteriorating security situation, while emphasizing everyone’s commitment to the need to respect international humanitarian law and ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches those who need it, especially in light of the fact that Ukrainian refugees continue to arrive in neighboring countries”.

Most Arab countries have not yet taken either side in the war. The governments of the Middle East and North Africa are cautious in their reaction to Russia, a major supplier of wheat and weapons in the region.

At the same time, they do not want to alienate the United States, which supports Ukraine and is a historical ally of major powers in the Middle East.

However, from the very beginning, the West nurtured Kiev’s hopes, promised comprehensive support, prospects for joining NATO, and acted as a guarantor of Ukraine’s security.

And now how to evaluate the actions of the guarantor, who, having promised a lot, trains Ukraine to confront the Russian Federation, and then declares: “we will not come to the rescue, we will impose sanctions.” The US is sending out Stingers and Javelins, but these are defensive weapons, aren’t they?

There is a feeling that the West is delaying the end of hostilities for months, if not until the end of the year. All this will deal a terrible blow to the global economy, which has just begun to recover from the pandemic! The price of oil is already above $ 100 and continues to rise, it will be an economic catastrophe for the whole world — probably, this is what Western countries are trying to achieve.
It is noteworthy, on the one hand, Washington decided that it would not send its troops to the conflict territory. At the same time, it requires Ukrainians to die senselessly in the war. Because of this, a humanitarian catastrophe, unprecedented in scale, can also break out if all this does not stop in time.

The West is only trying to prolong the agony of Ukraine, encouraging it to fight Russia, inciting civilians to attack tanks. This is unfair, first of all, for the people of the country. The Russians deliberately refrain from a bloody massacre. But they can organize an assault.

At the same time, there is still no evidence of mass killings, although Russian artillery, MLRS are working, massive air raids are being carried out — but they simply deliver targeted strikes in order to avoid collateral losses among the civilian population, because the target is not the people of the country at all, but the armed formations of nationalists.

Thus, the end of this conflict is quite real. It is enough to fulfill quite objective, in my opinion, conditions from Russia: To stop the bloodshed in the Lugansk and Donetsk republics, to recognize their independence. But the solution of key issues is also burdening Washington, which once again demonstrates the policy of double standards.
