The Russian problem with Ukraine is the Russians have always seen that territory as part of the Motherland, Russian. Ukrainians see the matter very differently. They don’t see themselves as Russians. They’re Ukrainians and their beloved Ukraine is not part of the Motherland.

Before the violent Neo-Nazi coup that kicked out the elected government about half the people in the Ukraine identified themselves as Russian with the majority of these Russians speakers living in eastern Ukraine and Crimea. If you know anything about the history of the Ukraine you’d know that the borders of the country never stretched to the Russia areas which also happen to be the richest parts of the Ukraine. If the Ukrainians really want to be free they need to let those areas go but the globalists running the place are too busy holding gay pride parades and making war on their Russian speaking population to be bothered with making a lasting peace.
