putin\u2019s accusations against Ukraine of \u201cstate terrorism\u201d are yet another attempt by the russian dictator to shift responsibility for his own crimes onto the victim of aggression.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Commenting on the announced closure of russian airspace, putin called it \u201ca declaration of state terrorism\u201d and once again resorted to threats.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f Such accusations from the leader of a state that has long effectively acted as a terrorist organization are deeply cynical. The state that started this war, terrorizes Ukrainian civilians every day, and destroys cities is once again trying to portray itself as the \u201cvictim.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f putin\u2019s rhetoric is a classic example of the \u201cmirror\u201d propaganda technique, which the kremlin constantly employs. Its goal is to blur the very definition of terrorism by accusing opponents of the crimes committed by russia itself.<\/p>\n
putin\u2019s threats also expose the real situation: russia is frightened by Ukraine\u2019s effective actions. When the russian authorities lose their sense of security on their own territory, their first reaction is nervous aggression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
