Lebanese and foreign politicians, academics: The Russian military operation is necessary to stop Western fascism

Beirut (ST): A number of Lebanese and foreign politicians and academics stressed during a seminar in Beirut today that the Russian military operation to protect the population of Donbas and confront neo-Nazism in Ukraine was a necessary step to stop Western fascism and to show the reality of the direct involvement of the United States in the Ukrainian crisis.

In the symposium held on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the operation, Brigadier General Mustafa Hamdan, Secretary of the Leadership Committee of the Independent Nasserite Movement, said: “The West has used Ukraine and its neo-Nazi terrorists as an offensive platform against Russia,” noting that after a year had passed, the truth emerged through the cost of the war on the United States, NATO and Western countries, which has exceeded a trillion dollars, and this confirms the direct intervention of America and its followers.

For his part, Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Rudakov said: The special military operation came as a response to the military expansion of NATO, explaining that the West is obstructing the development of Russia and other countries, and is working to use various methods, including encircling military bases, creating hotbeds of tension and blatant interference in internal affairs.

Rudakov warned that the United States and its followers are intensifying the war against Russia, which puts the world on the verge of a direct military clash with the participation of nuclear powers, pointing out that Washington is studying the possibility of testing new nuclear weapons despite tge fact that this violates its obligations under the Strategic Offensive Reduction Treaty.

In turn, Venezuelan Ambassador Jesús Gonzalez renewed his country’s stand with Russia in its endeavor to achieve and spread security and peace, pointing out that this war is a new type followed by NATO after World War II.

Writer Hassan Hamadeh said: The policy pursued by the West is a sign of decadence and dissension, and what is happening today is a battle for justice between the pluralistic and democratic world and the unilateral world.

For her part, lawyer Bushra Al-Khalil referred to Russia’s role in restructuring the international community on humanitarian, just and moral bases to restore balance to this world.
