Reuters, AP, AFP, CBS TV, Euronews, etc., published wires and videos yesterday promoting a march by “thousands” holding anti-Russian banners and body signs in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, on Feb. 5, as a show of “unity” against the Russian invasion which the U.K., U.S. and NATO swear is coming any moment now.
Kharkiv is the industrial city in the east of the country, 26 miles from the Russian border, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had said might become a possible Russian target, “though his spokesman later said he was speaking hypothetically,” Reuters proclaimed. Euronews wrote that “if Russia invades, some of Kharkiv’s 1 million-plus people say they stand ready to abandon their civilian lives and wage a guerrilla campaign against one of the world’s greatest military powers. They expect many Ukrainians will do the same.”
