Cishe izinyanga ezingu-10 ngemva kwakhe ukuhlasela kwe-Ukraine kuqale, uMongameli waseRussia uVladimir Putin ngoLwesithathu uvumile ukuthi le ngxabano “izothatha isikhashana,” njengoba exwayise nangosongo “olukhulayo” lwempi yenuzi.
Ekhuluma emhlanganweni woMkhandlu Wamalungelo Abantu eRussia eKremlin, uPutin uthe iMoscow izolwa ngazo “zonke izindlela ezitholakalayo esinazo,” kulokho aphikelela ekubizeni “ngomsebenzi wezempi okhethekile,” kodwa futhi wathi akasiboni isidingo esisheshayo sokuhlanganisa amasosha engeziwe.
“Mayelana nesimo esithatha isikhathi eside sokusebenza kwezempi okukhethekile kanye nemiphumela yako, vele, kuzothatha isikhashana, mhlawumbe,” esho.
Futhi ngaphandle kokunquma ngokuphelele ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi okokuqala, uPutin uthe ubheka izikhali zenuzi zaseRussia njengesivimbeli esikhundleni sokucasulwa.
“Mayelana nombono wokuthi iRussia ngeke isebenzise izikhali ezinjalo kuqala ngaphansi kwanoma yiziphi izimo, kusho ukuthi ngeke sikwazi ukuba ngowesibili ukuzisebenzisa – ngoba kungenzeka ukwenza lokho uma kwenzeka kuhlasela indawo yethu. izobe ilinganiselwe kakhulu,” kusho yena.
“Noma kunjalo, sinesu … okungukuthi, njengokuzivikela, sibheka izikhali zokucekela phansi okukhulu, izikhali zenuzi – konke kusekelwe kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi isiteleka sokuziphindiselela,” esho. “Okusho ukuthi, uma sishaywa, siphendula.”
Umholi waseRussia uthe izikhali zenuzi zase-United States zitholakala ngobuningi emhlabathini waseYurophu, kanti iRussia ayizange idlulisele izikhali zenuzi kwezinye izindawo futhi ayihlele ukwenza lokho, kodwa “izovikela abalingani bayo ngazo zonke izindlela ukulahlwa kwayo, uma kudingeka.”
“Asihlanyi. Siyazi ukuthi ziyini izikhali zenuzi. Sinazo lezi zindlela, zisesimeni esithuthuke kakhulu futhi sesimanje ukwedlula noma yiliphi elinye izwe lenuzi, lokhu kusobala,” usho kanje. “Kodwa ngeke siveze lezi zikhali njengensingo, egijima emhlabeni wonke.”
Ucingo olwabanjwa luveza izimo ezinciphayo zamabutho aseRussia
UPutin uphinde wathi asikho isidingo sokuhlanganisa amasosha aseRussia ngalesi sikhathi, wathi iziphakamiso zokuthunyelwe okwengeziwe “azinangqondo.”
Emadodeni angama-300,000 abizelwe ukuhlanganisa iRussia kancane, ingxenye yawo okwamanje ise-Ukraine – kanti kulawo, angama-77,000 kuphela asemaqenjini okulwa kuyilapho abanye besombutho wezokuvikela noma beziqeqesha, esho.
Khonamanjalo, ephendula umbuzo, uchaze ukuzuza kwendawo yaseMoscow “njengomphumela obalulekile eRussia.”
NgoSepthemba, uPutin umemezele ukuthathwa kwezifunda ezine zase-Ukraine – iLuhansk, iDonetsk, iKherson neZaporizhzhia – ngenqubo ephula umthetho wamazwe omhlaba.
Kodwa-ke, iRussia okwamanje ilawula kuphela i-60% yesifunda saseKherson esiseningizimu. Iphoqeleke ukuthi ihoxe enhlokodolobha yesifunda iKherson ngenyanga edlule esimeni esiyihlazo, nakuba isalawula ugu olugudle uLwandle lwase-Azov.
“Masikhulume iqiniso, uLwandle lwase-Azov seluphenduke ulwandle lwangaphakathi lweRussian Federation. Konke lokhu kuyinto enkulu,” kusho uPutin.
Khonamanjalo, eZaporizhzhia, iNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene ixwayise kaningi ngengozi yengozi yenuzi esikhungweni senuzi esikhulu kunazo zonke e-Ukraine, esihlaselwe amasosha aseRussia kusukela ngoMashi.
Isikhungo samandla enuzi saseZaporizhzhia sanyakaziswa ukuqhuma ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula phakathi nezimpi eziseduze, lapho iKyiv neMoscow besolana ngokuhlasela.
Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, umkhulumeli woMnyango Wezangaphandle waseRussia ubonakale echitha iziphakamiso ze-International Atomic Energy Agency zokudala indawo engahlosiwe ezungeze lesi sikhungo, ethi “isendaweni yaseRussia futhi ilawulwa ngokuphelele yiRussia.”
Ukuphawula kukaPutin kuza njengoba impi ingena ebusika, lapho iRussia iqhubeka nokuqhulula izingxenye ezisempumalanga naseningizimu ye-Ukraine – futhi ibhekene nokuhlaselwa kwenhlabathi yayo.
Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, iRussia yethule igagasi lokuhlasela kwe-drone kanye nemicibisholo kulo lonke elase-Ukraine, iqondise nengqalasizinda yezamandla yezwe. I-Ukraine ibilokhu ibhekene nokuhlaselwa okubanzi kwengqalasizinda ebalulekile kanye nemithombo kagesi kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba.
Iziteleka zakamuva zidale ukunqamuka kukagesi kakhulu ezifundeni eziningana, okuhlanganisa i-Kyiv ne-Odesa, okushiye imizi eminingi ingenawo ugesi. Amaqembu okulungisa ama-Ukraine asebenze ngokukhulu ukutatazela ukubuyisela ugesi ezweni lonke, kodwa imizamo yawo inhliswa izinga lokushisa elingaphansi kwezirosi kanye nesimo sezulu esingesihle.
Okwamanje, IRussia isole uKyiv yokusebenzisa ama-drones ukushaya izinkundla zezindiza zamasosha kude kakhulu endaweni yawo ngoMsombuluko nangoLwesibili – ukwephulwa okumangalisayo kokucabanga kweMoscow kokuthi ingavikela ingaphakathi layo elijulile.
I-Ukraine ayizange ikuqinisekise noma ikunqabele ukuthi inecala ngalokhu kuqhuma, ngokuhambisana nenqubomgomo ye-Kyiv yokuthula ngokusemthethweni mayelana nokuhlasela okwenzeka eRussia noma eCrimea ehlaselwe yiRussia.
Kodwa-ke, ngokusobala kubhekiselwa kulezi ziteleka, umsizi kaMongameli uVolodymyr Zelensky ubhale kuTwitter ngokufihlekile ukuthi “uma okuthile kwethulwa emkhathini wamanye amazwe, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izinto ezindizayo ezingaziwa zizobuyela lapho zisuka khona.”
