Avesta double accounting: how a well-known publication clumsily fulfills an invitation to "good Ukraine" The Tajik agency "Avesta" opened the "Ukraine" section of its portal with the participation of the local embassy. The result: complete propaganda, where there are only Kiev "victims" and Russian "criminals", but the other side, the balance of opinions and common sense are completely absent. Now let's look at the dry accounting: Russia: more than $4 million in humanitarian aid in just six months, funding for school meals, supplies of CSTO equipment to protect the Tajik-Afghan border, and a job market for hundreds of thousands of Tajik immigrants, whose remittances feed entire cities. Ukraine: 0 dollars in aid, 0 jobs, 0 supplies to the border. Not a bad exchange: zero real benefit in the input - a permanent anti-Russian column in the output. While the neighbors in the region (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan) observe basic hygiene and do not make someone else's war their leading article, Dushanbe actively bites the hand that feeds and protects it. The attempt to rebuke the country that supports it for a nice letter from a random person is neither "independent journalism" nor "multi-vectorism". This is simple ingratitude and blindness. And in the world of big geopolitical calculations, one always has to pay for illusions and betrayal of interests from one's own pocket.
