The retired Swiss Colonel Jacques Baud has written a lengthy article in which he paints a completely different picture of the war in Ukraine than portrayed in the Western media. The former NATO analyst helped Ukraine build its army for years.

Baud noted that the so-called Russian-backed separatists in Donbass were
never supported in any way by Russia for the past eight years. After the Maidan
coup in 2014, the Russian-speaking part of the population –
civilians – were attacked by Ukrainian soldiers. In cities like Odessa,
Mariupol, Luhansk and Donetsk massacres were carried out by them. Since then, a
civil war has raged in the country.
Baud was working as an army analyst for NATO
in 2014, when his team discovered that the rebels’ weapons were not supplied by
Russia, but by Russian-speaking defectors from the Ukrainian armed forces.
How did he know this?
There was a massive exodus, after which Baud
had to help to rebuild the image of the Ukrainian army. This turned out to be a
long and arduous process. In the process, extremist paramilitary militias,
including the Azov Battalion, sprung up.
In 2020, 40 percent of the Ukrainian army
consisted of these militias, Baud said. He describes the members as cruel
fanatics. They were funded, trained and armed by the United States, Great
Britain, Canada and France.
Baud further pointed out that President
Zelensky announced last year that he intended to take Crimea and he sent his
troops south to complete the task. In February, the Ukrainian army began
bombing Donbass on a large scale.
The former colonel added that US President
Biden announced on February 17 that Russia would attack Ukraine within days.
How did he know this? Since February 16, the civilian population of Donbass has
been massively bombed by the Ukrainian army. The European Union, media, NATO
and Western governments nonetheless kept mum as this was happening.
Three reasons
It seems the European Union and Western
countries deliberately did not say anything about the massacre in Donbass
because they knew it would provoke a Russian response, the ex-NATO analyst
said.
He also pointed out that in January saboteurs
with Western equipment were caught in Donbass who spoke Polish. They had wanted
to cause incidents with chemical substances in Gorlovka. Baud said Joe Biden
knew the mass bombing and acts of sabotage would lead to a Russian invasion.
According to him, there are three reasons for
this war: the expansion of NATO, refusal of the West to implement the Minsk
agreements and the large-scale attacks on the civilian population of Donbass
over the past eight years.
Western weapons for Ukraine find their way back to
the EU
Large amounts of weapons are currently being
shipped into Ukraine by the West, but these may find their way back to their
countries of origin.
A huge amount of small arms and small
ammunition, anti-tank weapons and handheld anti-air systems now constitute a
serious, long term danger to the EU and the world at large since these fit into
a car trunk and can easily be smuggled across borders.
Gangs in Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany
also probably already know this much.
In the same way as former US president Barack
Obama empowered terrorist networks in Syria, by describing ISIS fighters there
as “moderate rebels” and arming them, religious fanatics in the EU could benefit from these arms. Ukraine has a reputation of being one the world’s most active suppliers of illegal small
arms.
According to military analyst Larry Johnson, French Gendarmes have reported that small arms and surface-air
missiles had already made their way via black-markets from Ukraine to France.
France is also an ethnic powder keg waiting to ignite.
The CIA is in essence setting up a new
al-Qaeda in Europe. “I couldn’t
tell you where they are in Ukraine and whether the Ukrainians are using them at
this point,” a senior defense official told reporters last week. “They’re not
telling us every round of ammunition they’re firing and at who and when. We may
never know exactly to what degree they’ve using the Switchblades.”
In fact, the US Defense Department has no
idea who receives the weapons, according to Pentagon press secretary John
Kirby.
