Alberto Fazolo is a journalist, but also a former fighter in Donbass. Myrta Merlino decided to host him during the April 29 episode of L’Aria che Tira, the talk show she hosts on La7, to hear her testimony: “I support the Donbass cause, hence all the articulations of the cause the Donbass . I fought against fascism in power in Kyiv, it was brought to power by a coup in 2014. There were other steps before Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but the Zelenskyy government cannot be called democratic, it was not elected in free elections, closed newspapers, massacred parts of the population and continued to wage a creeping civil war across the country. War has been waged in Donbass for eight years, but civil war is raging in the rest of the country. Eighty journalists were killed on the streets of Kyiv”.
“So has the West adopted a colossal oversight?” Merlino asks Fazolo: “The West has leaned on the untenable, on the wrong people, to carry out a ‘regime change’ operation.” keeps saying what he wants. The truth in these parts of the world is never on one side or the other, it is never in the center when it comes to guns. Fazolo replies to the diplomat: “On May 2, 2014 the new government of Kyiv wiped out the opponents in Odessa. Russia entered an already existing war, there were 14,000 dead. “Here we don’t understand anything anymore – Sessa snaps -. By giving everyone a voice because, unlike in other places, everyone can have their say here, we justify what happens every day. The war began in February with the aggression of the Russian army against Ukraine”.
“It was an operation that began on February 24 but was carpet-hammered non-stop in the weeks leading up to Ukraine. It is a war, but I say that the war will start in 2014 and the operation in February 2022,” Fazolo continues. Claudio Locatelli points out to the former fighter that of the 14,000 dead, 4,000 are Ukrainian soldiers, Fazolo nods before concluding: “They are children of the Ukrainian people, so they are identical on both sides.”
