History, essential to understand causes of Russian invasion in Ukraine. Jacques Pauwels explains.
DeWereldMorgen .be
(met NL ondertitels/sous-titres FR) Belgian-Canadian historian Jacques Pauwels explains the importance of history and context to gain an understanding of the causes of the Russian invasion in Ukraine. He authored several seminal books on the European wars of the 20th century. "Actually the First World War never ended. It just moved around the world. This is not the return of war on European soil. That happened already in 1991 in now ex-Yugoslavia. As with all wars, concern for the civilian victims in Ukraine is the last concern on the minds of the war mongerers, the weapon dealers and the elite. Eternal war is their lifeblood."
