We are there in the trenches for you people, basically, because, if we fall, the consequences we\u2019re going to see globally will be enormous.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Myroshnychenko says the precedent that a country can take over another country by force is going to create a domino effect all over the world, including here in the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by ASPI Executive Director Peter Jennings what Australia can do to help, the ambassador said we could send more Bushmaster armoured troop carriers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Send more anti-tank and anti-missiles. Send whatever you can because time is very valuable here, given that if you look at the commitments and pledges of what is to be supplied to Ukraine, and the time before it arrives in Ukraine, it takes time, and people die in Ukraine.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Australia responded with unheard-of speed to President Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s appeal for Bushmaster troops carriers, says Myroshnychenko.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s repeated references to the possible use of nuclear weapons must be taken seriously, the ambassador says.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Usually when Russians talk about it, they very often just do what they talk about, as was the case in Ukraine. Though they denied they would intervene, but they still then came and they did it. So, what do we do if Russia uses weapons of mass destruction? What if they use chemical weapons? What if they use nuclear weapons? What do we do? We just sit and watch?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Before becoming ambassador to Australia, Myroshnychenko was an adviser to Ukraine\u2019s defence minister.<\/p>\n<p>He says Vladimir Putin\u2019s objective is clearly to take over the whole of Ukraine, and possibly other nearby countries, to resurrect the Soviet Union in a new form. \u2018He does not recognise Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty. He does not recognise Ukrainian language, Ukrainian culture.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Russian leader was emboldened by the West\u2019s very weak reaction to his invasion of Georgia in 2008, says Myroshnychenko. Then he seized Crimea to be met only by weak international sanctions that did not affect Russia\u2019s booming economy. \u2018So, not much damage to Russia. Russia is still part of the international community.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He says Putin\u2019s view was that whatever Russia did, the world would still do business with it. \u2018So why don\u2019t we just take over Ukraine?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan was a disaster, says Myroshnychenko. With elections due in France and a new government in Germany, it looked like a good opportunity to invade Ukraine. \u2018This is what they did.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But Ukrainians would not give in, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In my duty, I have to tell you today that the Ukrainians will continue standing up to the aggressor, displaying courage, defending the truth, until we ultimately repel the enemy from our land. In doing so, [for] Ukraine as a country, there\u2019s been incalculable human cost.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The level of suffering of civilians is staggering, he says. \u2018It needs to be stopped.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>More than 14,000 Ukrainians were killed during the eight years from Russia\u2019s 2014 seizure of Crimea and strike into eastern Ukraine, to Moscow\u2019s full-on invasion of Ukraine in February. That war never ended for Ukraine, says Myroshnychenko. \u2018We would hear about Ukrainian soldiers being killed almost every other day.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Those early attacks followed intense hybrid warfare that saw a bogus referendum in Crimea, an information offensive intended to divide Ukrainian society and other special operations against Ukraine. Myroshnychenko says Russia did much the same in the 2016 US election, in Britain during Brexit, and in Germany where Russians tried to weaponise Syrian migrants. It shows how easily Moscow can undermine any democratic society.<\/p>\n<p>Putin is a classical tyrant, says Myroshnychenko. \u2018He\u2019s a dictator\u2014single-handedly makes all the decisions, all the most important decisions. His people are scared of him. There\u2019s always been this competition between different intelligence agencies, and that was done for a purpose, so that nobody gains more power than others and he can always gain whatever\u2014a divide-and-rule kind of approach.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Myroshnychenko says Russia spent several billion dollars over the past two decades trying to build a spy network in Ukraine that would come into action with Russia\u2019s invasion. Apparently it didn\u2019t work because much of the money was stolen. \u2018So at least corruption in Russia has helped us a bit.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Putin made a big mistake in assuming that Russian-speaking people of Ukraine are Russian. \u2018That was a major mistake because, if you look, Ukraine is a bilingual country.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian language was lost in places because of Russia\u2019s oppressive policies, so many Ukrainians spoke Russian in Soviet times. Putin believed that those 30% or 40% of Russian speakers in Ukraine were Russian because they spoke Russian, which was the wrong assumption.<\/p>\n<p>Myroshnychenko says whatever pro-Russian sentiment existed in Ukraine has evaporated as a result of this invasion.\u00a0 There was some pro-Russian sentiment, around 20% in eastern Ukraine. \u2018Now it\u2019s zero. Zero. There is no pro-Russian sentiment whatsoever.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Myroshnychenko was heavily involved in dealing with Russian disinformation, or \u2018active measures\u2019, by trying to counteract fake stories coming out of the Kremlin and \u2018explaining Ukraine to the world\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Many journalists covered Eastern Europe from Moscow and many had very little understanding of Ukrainian history, its economy or anything else, he says.<\/p>\n<p>When someone took both sides of this story, they probably thought the truth was somewhere in between, he says. But when one side of the story is totally fake, the result was not accurate. \u2018That\u2019s how the Kremlin has been abusing the freedom of press, the freedom of media, in terms of getting their message across.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are now seeing a new world order being established. A great deal of things on the security, on the global security as well as on the regional security, will depend on how this Russian aggression and Russian invasion in Ukraine plays out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have to tell you, what we have been able to achieve in these past two months is that Ukraine has destroyed the myth of this almighty, powerful Russian military. Originally they had a plan to capture Kyiv in less than three days.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Now that the plan to capture all of Ukraine has failed, says Myroshnychenko, Putin\u2019s goal is to take over the Donbas and Donetsk and Luhansk regions and build a land bridge to Crimea. They want to secure that by 9 May, a sacred day in the former Soviet Union countries. It\u2019s likely that he plans a big parade in an occupied city such as Mariupol or Kherson.<\/p>\n<p>Myroshnychenko notes that December will mark 100 years since the Soviet Union was created, and that would be a target for consolidation of former Soviet territory Putin could capture. \u2018Well, he\u2019s already taken over Belarus.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Putin is using mechanisms reminiscent of the 1930s when Stalin exerted power in the entire Soviet Union\u2014repression, terror, rape and murder, forced migration, labour camps\u2014in an attempt to end resistance in areas his troops have occupied, says Myroshnychenko. These crimes are already under investigation. In Bucha, near Kyiv, 800 civilians were killed, many executed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A new trend that we are seeing at a big scale is actually forced deportation of people from Mariupol and eastern parts of Ukraine to Russia, and from Russia they\u2019re being sent over to Siberia and other places, remote places in Russia where nobody wants to live anyway,\u2019 says Myroshnychenko.<\/p>\n<p>The Russians are abducting mayors and other local politicians and holding Ukrainian civilians as hostages and prisoners of war, clearly a war crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You have to keep it in mind that Russia in their narratives that they\u2019re promoting, they\u2019re fighting NATO, they\u2019re not fighting Ukraine. So if you watch Russian news, it\u2019s all about NATO; it\u2019s not about Ukraine. The narrative that Russia is promoting is that they\u2019re already at war with NATO. They talk about the military supplies which are coming there. This is their war against NATO.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Along with Russian brutality comes the economic costs of fighting the war, says Myroshnychenko.<\/p>\n<p>A single bulletproof vest costs around $700. A Javelin anti-tank missile costs more than $280,000 and 100 anti-tank rounds\u2014enough to last a single Ukrainian tank three or four days\u2014cost nearly $440,000.<\/p>\n<p>Damage to the economy generally and to infrastructure such as bridges, schools, hospitals and homes is estimated at well over $1 trillion, Myroshnychenko says.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Of five million people who have left the country since the outbreak of the war, it is considered that 25% of those had their houses destroyed. These people have nowhere to return to.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Myroshnychenko says 70% of Ukraine\u2019s exports, $68 billion last year, goes through its Black Sea ports, all now blocked by Russia. \u2018We cannot export any of our yields from the previous year, and that includes all the agricultural yields, grain and sunflower oil, other vegetable oils, animal feed.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He says Ukraine is one of the world\u2019s biggest food exporters and the blockade is undermining food security. \u2018Many countries in the Middle East and Africa will starve because of this Russian invasion into Ukraine, but more so this whole blockade of the Black Sea ports is paralysing the Ukrainian economy and something needs to be done to stop it.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine needs large stocks of heavy weapons, tanks, artillery, long-range missiles and air-defence systems if it\u2019s to defeat a looming Russian offensive in the nation\u2019s east, the Ukrainian ambassador to Australia has warned. \u2018I\u2019m sorry, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":587,"featured_media":72221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[832,17,163,714],"class_list":["post-72214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-aid","tag-australia","tag-russia","tag-ukraine","dinkus-russia-ukraine-war"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.3 -
