Professor Cacciari, you are among the signatories of an appeal for peace also signed by right-wing intellectuals such as Pierangelo Buttafuoco and Marcello Veneziani. An initiative that has turned many lips on the left. No one has the intention of removing political differences and aggression and therefore on the violation of one of the few principles of international law that in one formula or another everyone recognizes. Let's not make a fuss about how many times and by whom these principles have been violated, because it is clear that if in a situation of this kind we begin to see the faults of one or the other since the dawn of time, we will never finish. Let's forget it, for the sake of our country. Today as of today there is this aggression. So Russia must recognize the mistake, the fault, call it what you want, committed. Certainly it was a colossal strategic mistake because it is clear that Russia thought it could destabilize the Ukrainian Government with some sort of blitzkrieg and thus secure the Donbass, the Crimea, the outlets to the Black Sea, and this was an incredible underestimation of the adversary kind of seeing the faults of one or the other since the dawn of time, there is no end. Let's forget it, for the sake of the country. Today there is this aggression. So Russia must recognize the mistake, the fault, call it what you want,. commission It was certainly a colossal strategic error because it is clear that Russia thought it could destabilize the Ukrainian government with a sort of blitzkrieg and thus secure the Donbass, Crimea, the channels leading to the Black Sea, and this was an incredible underestimation of the adversary, of the position of NATO and so on.. There is Russia which, due to its own mistake, must recognize the crime which on the level of international law has committed, saying it is immediately ready for a unilateral ceasefire, and on the other hand Europe, because I don't see who else, should finally play an active part, that is to guarantee that at the same time as this Russian act, serious negotiations will open on the things that are really under discussion. And which are not debatable because they are facts; That is to say ? The civil war in D it was a colossal strategic mistake because it is clear that Russia thought it could destabilize the Ukrainian government with a sort of blitzkrieg and thus secure Donbass, Crimea, the outlets to the Black Sea, and this is it was an incredible underestimation of the adversary, of the position of NATO and so on. There is Russia which, due to its own fault, must recognize the crime it has committed on the level of international law, saying it is immediately willing even to a unilateral cessation of the fire, and on the other side Europe, because I don't see who else, should finally play an active part, that is to guarantee that at the same time as this Russian act serious negotiations open on the things really under discussion. And which are not debatable because they are facts; That is to say ? The civil war in Donbass, the civil war in all Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine which were attacked by the Ukrainian army. We are talking about acts of open hostility. What would happen in Alto Adige if Italy declared a ban on the German language in that region tomorrow ? I repeat: acts of open hostility towards the Russian-speaking minority. It is not a question of undergoing or endorsing the referendum. Everyone knows very well that a referendum even with all the superintendencies of the world, UN or whoever, would give a certain result in Donbass as in Crimea. The result rio, of the position of NATO and so on..

We are talking about acts of open hostility. What would happen in South Tyrol if Italy would declare a ban on the German language in that region tomorrow ?

Everyone knows very well that a referendum even with all the superintendencies in the world , UN or whoever, would give a certain result in Donbass as in Crimea. The result is however obvious, given that these are regions with an overwhelming Russian-speaking majority. Ignoring the referendums does not mean ignoring the vulnerability mentioned above.
