Hundreds of ukrainians They demonstrated yesterday in the Salytien square in Adeje, coinciding with the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of their country.
The protesters recalled that Russia occupied Crimea by military force and tried to create “people’s republics” in eastern, southern and central Ukraine. Under the guise of an “independence movement” invading the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
After intense fighting in 2014 and 2015, the undeclared war in eastern Ukraine entered a state of fragile truce until on February 24, 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine head-on, calling it a “special operation.” The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been accompanied at all times by a campaign of disinformation and propaganda.
The worst military attack in Europe in living memory since the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939 was launched by Russia against the Ukraine at 3:40am. on February 24, 2022. In its resolution of March 2, 2022, the UN General Assembly condemned Russia’s actions, calling them aggression against Ukraine. On March 16, 2022, the UN International Court of Justice in The Hague forced Russia to stop military operations in Ukraine that began on February 24, 2022.
Russia constantly claims that it is a “peacemaker” and seeks peace, as criticized by the Ukrainians. Since the start of the military conflict in 2014, there has been a constant narrative about the “rescue” of those whom it is supposed to protect, they point out. This happened for decades, and the world practically did not notice.
