Until the media comes clean with how the west had a hand in starting this crisis to begin with there is no basis for honest reporting. We’re told that Russia just up and invaded a ‘sovereign country’. What really happened is that the US and the West instigated the coup in Kiev and Russia reacted. Once that narrative is understood one can then make better sense of all that has happened. What’s more, it’s not for Kerry or Obama to agree to what happens with Ukraine, anymore than it would be up to Russia or China to intervene if we had dispute with say, Mexico.
Another FRputin spreading disinformation?
FYI Ukrainians crave freedom after years of oppression, rusification and exploitation by anyone. People got enough of Yanukovych commie drive into arms of Putin. Stop the crap about “West instigated the coup”.
Brave Ukrainians showed that drive to commie slavery can be stopped, unlike the Americans bowing to king Kenyan.
Just wait for Putin “liberating” Brighton Beach, NY, lotsa oppressed Russian speakings.
I know for an absolute fact from visiting and personal contact with people there, that the Carpatho-Russian region which was stolen by Stalin from Czechoslovakia in 1945 has NEVER wanted to be part of Ukraine, and has resisted as well as it could the Ukrainization from the Ukrainian Communist tyranny over the past 70 years.
The whole idea of the poor Ukrainians being subject to "Russification" is total hogwash. The opposite is the case.
As recently as last summer, I was told that the authorities in Kiev (which at time would still have been Yanukovich's government) had forbidden the use of Russian in newspaper and other publications, even though that is what the people there have always preferred. All I could find were in Ukrainian, which has been imposed on them. For one thing, this proves that Yanukovich never was a puppet of Russia and was never especially pro-Russian.
And remember this is the WESTERNMOST area of Ukraine.
