2024 and the war with russia. 2024 will be difficult, but decisive!

There is no sense in celebrating the New Year 2024, as a deadly hybrid war with russia is ongoing, it’s not the time for celebration, but it is essential to mark this date and analyze what has happened to us, Ukrainians, and why it has happened this way.

The longer we, Ukrainians, and the world engage with russian-speaking and russian world, the longer the russian war will continue not only in Ukraine but also around the world, moreover, the russian war will spread to other, new countries. Events in the world from 2024, especially from February 2022, clearly state that this is already obvious, even analysts in their forecasts for 2024 precisely name the victim countries of the bloody aggressor russia led by moscow’s communo-fascists.

The New Year 2024 must become the year of total and complete derussification and desovietization of the territory of Ukraine at the level of territorial communities, including in Kyiv and million-plus cities. Total derussification this year must be carried out at the level of family, social everyday life, business, culture, arts, government bodies, religion and the Church, etc. And what is very painful for us, Ukrainians, is when even in state authorities and local self-government there are still isolated cases of officials using the stinking russian language of killers. Therefore, there is no need to wait for instructions from any authorities or other bodies, but it is necessary to start full derussification and desovietization from oneself and one’s surroundings.

If throughout 2024 the foul russian language of killers remains in the minds of any part of Ukrainians (soviets, vatniks, collaborators, policemen), we, Ukrainians, will leave this war with russia to our children, and maybe even grandchildren. Someone very much wants this. And we know these people by face, personally, so we know well whom to fight against personally. There is no need to close our eyes and pretend that nothing is happening… The russian war against Ukraine has been actively ongoing since 2014, and in various other forms – for centuries. And today it is impossible not to notice this planetary tragedy.

russian speakers and the russian world together, against the will of Ukrainians, brought the russian war into Ukraine. Some actively, fighting in various forms on the side of the russian invaders, some passively, paying taxes to the russian budget to fund the war, and some simply by remaining silent (not everything is so straightforward) and by maintaining a conditional neutrality, but together they brought the war to Ukraine… Only a portion of russian-speaking communities in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine stayed in their communities to fight with other russian speakers (whom they mistakenly considered brothers) against the russian invaders, defending their territories from the russian-speaking people of russia. However, most russian speakers, after causing harm to Ukrainians, fled the war to go abroad (which they constantly criticized). Killings, complete destruction of buildings, torture of civilians, russification of life, sovietization, propaganda, and outright lies are the standards of the foul russian world. Killing children and the elderly, lack of electricity, heat, family comfort, and refugee status are what the foul russian language of killers from russia and their supporters bring to us. And we, along with you, have personally felt this, especially since February 2022. Therefore, it is bitter and disgusting to hear the foul russian language in Ukraine during the russian war. And paradoxically, the russian invaders kill even their own (as they say in russian) russian speakers, and primarily so. So, should russian speakers around the world consider the need or readiness to be russian-speaking and bring the war with russia into their families?

Life’s practice has shown hundreds of times that one cannot engage with russian speakers and the odious russian world, neither in Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Greece, Spain… There are no natural russian-speaking Poles, Czechs, Lithuanians, French, or Ukrainians—these are artificial fabrications of moscow’s communo-fascists from the kremlin. These are our sworn enemies for centuries, as well as of the entire civilized world; they are destroyers of quality life, cynical murderers, and deceitful bandits. The faster Ukraine and countries around the world conduct total and complete derussification and desovietization in all areas of life without exception, the sooner progress, development, peace, and tranquility will come to these countries.

In Ukraine, at the state and municipal levels, targeted programs for learning the Ukrainian language should be created for all speakers of the foul russian language, providing the opportunity for all people, regardless of nationality, to communicate normally and peacefully, without the wars and murders of russian aggressors. Ukrainians must show the whole world the correct example and give a decisive fight against russian speakers and the foul russian world at the level of territorial communities in Ukraine. They are our enemies and killers; they kill Ukrainian culture, Ukrainian pop music, Ukrainian art, the Ukrainian Church, traditions, our Holidays (in particular, they imposed on us the killer figure of Grandfather Frost and other totalitarian characters), and they kill our identity and Ukrainian mentality.

In every Ukrainian family, in every household, at every workplace, in every city home, in every institution, school, and higher education establishment, we are relentlessly and irreversibly eradicating the foul Russian language and the deadly russian world. Expel the slave mentality from within yourselves, do not preserve russian world elements for later. This was our tragic mistake from 2014 to 2022. These are foul, toxic preserves that will start a new war with our children and grandchildren. They will again elect into parliament people like shariy, shufrych, rabinovich, oliynyk, azarov, medvedchuk, balytsky, dubinsky, saldo, and various others of their ilk, who, once empowered, will continue to demean and kill us.

In the New Year of 2024, we, Ukrainians, have a lot of tough homework that we must do ourselves, quickly and effectively. There are over 65 million of us Ukrainians in the world. No one will clean up the foul and infectious trash of the russian world from our country for us. Let us, Ukrainians, unite with other peoples of the world around the common idea of saving Ukraine and the entire world from the rotten russian world! Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!!!
