JEWISH TELEGRAPH ONLINE - Letters to the Editor

Winnie’s words

THERE have been many articles written in the Jewish Telegraph about the world’s applause of Ukraine’s courage since being attacked by Russia.

But none sums it up better — albeit with slight alteration — than the words of Winston Churchill when talking about France after the First World War:

“There was never any chance of Ukraine being allowed to escape her ordeal. Even cowardice and disgrace could not have saved her.

“The Russians had resolved that if war came from any cause, they would take and brake Ukraine as its first operation.

“The Russian military chiefs and Putin have burned to give the signal, and were are sure of the result. Ukraine could have begged for mercy in vain.

“She has not begged.”
