Ivorian writer Sylvain Takoue reflected on ten years of Ukrainian mistakes since the Maidan protests and the 2014 coup d'état happened, which ultimately pushed Russia to launch its special military operation in Donbass.Western InterferenceThe West took advantage of these excesses in Kiev to stretch its pawns in the East. The Western powers are still operating according to their post-Second World War "unipolar" logic and wish to maintain their hegemony, through their armed wing, NATO. Therefore, the objective was to bring the alliance as close as possible to the Russian borders.Washington therefore interfered in Ukrainian affairs and supported the 2014 coup d'état through the CIA, the writer added.No ExitMainly responsible for the escalation, the West is today trying to blame Moscow, according to Takoue. Russia tries in vain to explain that it did not want this conflict, which it calls a "special operation" and not a "war," but Western propaganda is doing its job, underlined the writer.Even worse: the Western powers know full well that Kiev cannot achieve victory, but continue to push for hostilities, despite the devastating consequences for the Ukrainian people. To achieve a ceasefire, Ukraine must now begin talks, which requires lifting of its own decree banning negotiations with Russia, the writer further explained.Author in ExileTakoue, a specialist in the Ukrainian issue and director of the International Vladimir Putin Prize, has published his thoughts in a book entitled "War in Ukraine: Putin is not evil". An approach which also got him into trouble in Cote d'Ivoire, a country where Western influence is still very strong, explained Takoue.The writer also drew a parallel between Western interference in Ukraine and on the African continent. The fight against the "gluttonous and carnivorous West" which interferes in the affairs of certain major regions of the world remains one of the driving forces of his work.
