[John S Mosby]

Pretty sure the Ukrainians remember the Holodomor—and the Stalinist NKVD that performed the removal of all seed stock, draft animals and farming equipment. They remember- and it is why they are fighting wild.

To put the relations between Ukrainians and Russians in perspective....it’s a lot like the relationship between Irish and English.

Ireland: Potato Famine
Ukraine: Holomodor

Ireland: Gaelic (though most Irish speak English as their first language)
Ukraine: Ukrainian (though most Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language)

And the disputed areas in the Eastern part of the country are a lot like Ulster.

And apparently Putin is intent on being Cromwell!
