Selenskyj fordert China heraus: Schweigen reicht nicht mehr. 🇺🇦🇨🇳 🎯 In seiner Rede zum 35. Unabhängigkeitstag der Ukraine richtete sich Selenskyj heute direkt an Peking. Wörtlich: China könne nicht länger schweigen, wenn "jemand sich in einen Matrosenanzug und eine Militärmütze wirft und, bestimmte Wörter schlecht aussprechend, über einen Nuklearschlag redet". China müsse reagieren, "diesen Eifer abkühlen" und beweisen, dass sein Anspruch, Weltführer zu sein, nicht nur wirtschaftlich und technologisch gelte, sondern auch zivilisatorisch, indem es klarstelle: Kein Diktator habe das Recht, den Planeten mit seinen alten Atomsprengköpfen zu bedrohen. Das ist keine neue Front, sondern eine Zuspitzung. Laut Selenskyj hatte China Russland bereits im Juli, im Vorfeld des NATO-Gipfels, unmissverständlich mitgeteilt, über einen Atomwaffeneinsatz dürfe "nicht einmal nachgedacht" werden. Die heutige Rede macht aus dieser diplomatischen Hintergrundbotschaft eine öffentliche Forderung, an einem symbolisch aufgeladenen Tag, live an die Weltöffentlichkeit gerichtet. Zu Putin selbst wurde Selenskyj persönlich: Putin hoffe, die Ukraine sei müde geworden. Er habe sie nie verstanden, und jetzt bleibe ihm keine Zeit mehr dafür. Wer die gesamte Ukraine habe nehmen wollen, habe stattdessen seine Ölraffinerien verloren, seine Flotte, seine Einnahmen und eine ganze Generation, die in die "Fleischwolfmaschine" geschickt worden sei. 27 Jahre spreche Russlands Herrscher von Größe, während das Land in Schlangen vor Tankstellen stehe. 🔥🎯 Selenskyj nutzte die Rede zugleich, um die eigene Verteidigungsindustrie zu präsentieren, als "wahren Giganten", der rund um die Uhr arbeite, mit zehntausenden bodengestützten Robotersystemen, die bereits tausende Soldatenleben gerettet hätten, und mit den selbst produzierten "Flamingo"-Raketen, die im Winter eine größere Rolle spielen sollen. Die Rechnung dahinter: Solange China Russlands Kriegswirtschaft technologisch am Laufen hält, bleibt Pekings Neutralität eine Fiktion, und genau diese Fiktion versuchte Selenskyj heute öffentlich aufzubrechen. Kommentare darunter sind ausdrücklich willkommen, und sei es nur ein Wort oder ein Emoji. Quellen: Ukrainska Pravda, internationale Agenturmeldungen zur Rede vom 24.

As the first minister of the Czech Republic, I was in Taiwan, and when I read similar statements, I feel totally embarrassed.
