When those two worked together before they made Zyklon B.
Russian troops were on Crimea since 1991, bud. The russian Black Sea Fleet is stationed there. Try something else.
And before 22 Ukraine escalated towards war with full backing of the west. Seems like Ukraine got what it wanted.
Kiev is the spelling used before the galician language stunt of 2014, when the local junta had the great idea of abolishing russian as official language (it was together with ukrainian). More than half of Ukraine (the Rusyns and Russians) used that spelling . Imperialist my ass.
Kyiv Post is a foreign funded rag btw. When Trump cut funding to the NED for a bit the Kyiv Post issued a statement that they were in dire financial straits. If it told me the sky was blue, I'd check personally.
Whatever helps them cope today.
Ukraine flag detected, opinion rejected.
Guess the free market won.
Well, the loss of one of the four good ones would be lamentable.
This is meaningless for as long as Israel can still run amok in the Levante.
Wrong. For countries it is never just their choice to make. Russia feels threatened by NATO expansion. Ukraine joining was inacceptable to Russia. This has been known since the 1990s.
Russia did not invade anything in 14. I already told you what happened. In 22 Russia wanted to force negotiations asap. What negotiations? To end the ongoing civil war and the ethnic cleansing in Donbas, this went on for 8 years by then. By 22 1 million people had fled to Russia. It almost worked btw. the negotiations took place in Turkey and were about to be finalized when Boris Johnson visited Kiev and let the Ukrainian government know that the west would not accept any peace treaty, but would provide Ukraine whatever it took to win. This was a open threat and a treat, if peace - get regime changed, if war - get support.
The Russian korps did not have enough troops to take Kiev. By then only 140.000 soldiers were involved, for a city the size of Kiev you'd need 6 to 8 times that much. Stop taking ukrainian propaganda at face value, Kiev lies constantly about easily verifiable things.
What invasion of Ukraine 2014? In 14 Crimea seceeded and the Donbas rose up. Neither of those were a russian invasion...
Euromaidan did not remotely represent the ukrainian average. It represented galicia, nothing more. Which is why half the country was extremely pissed with the outcome. Most Ukrainians wanted to keep their country neutral.
Your idea of dictators is comical, please never grow up.
You never questioned why those belorussian demonstrators were waving a flag last used by the occupation govenrment of the nazis? Or why those protests appruptly vanished as soon as western NGOs got the boot.
Russia was completely fine with a neutral Ukraine tho. There flatout was no "boot of Moscow" crushing them. It was Ukraine escalating from 2014 onwards.
They are their own worst caricature.
Not like they had a choice, lol.
