The Truth behind Ukraine-Russia War That Mainstream Media Refusing to Talk About – Opinion

By Editor Kanan Alibayov (Silk Road Introduction, Part1):

Ukraine-Russia war is not an isolated event neither is it as simple as NATO advancing into Russian doorstep. There is another factor that mainstream media is refusing to talk about which is China’s MEGA Belt Road initiative project that connects 145 countries as part of the Belt and Road initiative project out of 195 countries worldwide which became partly operational in recent years.

The MEGA Belt and Road initiative project is also known as Silk Road was unveiled by general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and paramount leader Xi Jinping in September and October 2013 during visits to Kazakhstan and Indonesia.

BRI is a global infrastructure development strategy adopted by the Chinese government. It is considered a centerpiece of the Chinese leaderXi Jinping‘s foreign policy. The BRI forms a central component of Xi’s “Major Country Diplomacy” strategy, which calls for China to assume a greater leadership role for global affairs in accordance with its rising power and status.

Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure investments include ports, skyscrapers, railroads, roads, bridges, airports, dams, coal-fired power stations, and railroad tunnels.

As early as December 2013, the then Ukrainian president Yanukovych responded positively to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), making the country the first one in Europe that has announced its support for the initiative which followed by political crisis and military conflicts, that broke out in Ukraine in 2014, Ukraine still had successfully opened up the Chinese market through a series of documents prior to the event, including the China-Ukraine Strategic Partnership Development Plan (2014-2018), the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between the People’s Republic of China and Ukraine and the Joint Statement of the People’s Republic of China and Ukraine on Further Deepening the Strategic Partnership, leaving a huge political asset for the next Ukrainian government as US ally President Zelenskyy took power in 2019 after Petro Poroshenko to ultimately stand against Russia and China.
