You may want to wish that for the 20% who don’t meet the ethnic Ukrainian standard, esp if they are Jewish. It doesn’t look good for them. At best they will be second-class citizens.

That's what you believe.

A Jewish coworker of mine who is from Ukraine has relatives in Odessa and Kiev. She believes differently. She says her relatives don't want to be part of Russia and they all feel comfortable in Ukraine.

The All-Ukrainian Jewish Congress disagrees with you. The full text of what they said.

A former Putin advisor doesn't agree with you. He says in Forbes that, Putin’s subversive forces will also gin up neo-Nazi incidents with Nazi regalia and Swastikas on full display.

You are repeating Russian propaganda.

Ukrainians are no more anti semitic than Russians are anti semitic or Americans are anti semitic.

You are broad brushing Ukrainians.

I believe in the Inalienable right to self determination. Ukrainians deserve that.

....”I believe in the Inalienable right to self determination. Ukrainians deserve that”....

I don't think that's what happened in Ukraine...it was a violent take over regardless if or not the people were satisfied with the results or how corrupt the election might have been that gave them the President they despised....it was still THEIR election. Both sides used corruption in the run up to the election, and violence to that end which we see playing out as well now.

In my opinion some nations citizenry unfortunately think democracy is all about who wins rather than the balance of power, and they have little if any understanding of that.

I know other Jewish people who are leaving Ukraine because they won't remain with the Representatives that are now in the Ukraine Gov.

“Ukrainians are no more anti semitic than Russians are anti semitic or Americans are anti semitic.”

Have Russians or Americans stabbed Hillel Cohen, Ukraine director of the Jewish ambulance corps Hatzalah, in Kiev in the night of March 14 2014?

Have Russians or Americans hurled anti-Semitic slurs during the attack, making H.Cohen the third Jew to be assaulted, and the second to be stabbed, in Kiev since January 2014?

The presence of far-right anti-Semitic elements in the Maidan mob, and in the Maidan-Ukrainian government, is well known by now. They were parading with SS insignia, made the nazi salute and are ready to kill the “Zhyds”. One of them treated the actress M.Kunis, who is born in Ukraine, of “dirty Jewess”.

Pretty funny how Russian state-owned media tells the West that the Nazis have taken over Ukraine, while telling its domestic listeners the Jews have taken over.
