Accusing Ukraine Without Evidence Must Be Avoided, as It Risks Enforcing the New Western Norm That Justifies Erasing Kyiv and Its Civilians, Following the New Norm Established by the West's Response to Hamas' Attacks on Israel.

Following the tragic attack on a Moscow concert hall, which resulted in at least 133 deaths and numerous injuries, and in a world that has adopted a new norm after the horrific Hamas terror attack on Israel, it is critical to refrain from hastily accusing Ukraine without solid and direct evidence.

The international community should bear in mind that the actions deemed permissible for Israel in response to the October 7th terror attack by Hamas set a precedent that could implicitly allow similar responses by Russia towards those it holds responsible for the Moscow attack. Therefore, baseless accusations carry the risk of reinforcing a new Western norm that justifies flattening Kyiv, irrespective of the potential for eliminating or displacing its civilians. This standard, now seemingly acceptable following the West's response to Hamas' attacks on Israel, demands that everyone withhold judgment and await solid and reliable evidence before irresponsibly blaming or exonerating any potential suspect.
