It appears that Putin has launched an unprovoked and unjustified invasion on the sovereign state of the Ukrain-————————————————————
You should take some time to look at the history of how we got to this point... These UKR boundaries were just administrative convenience for the USSR back in the 1950’s. I don’t consider this UKR gov to be either legitimate or sovereign.This gov is the result of the 2014 coup led by Obama’s CIA.The country is about 1/3 polish,1/3 uke,1/3 russian and long overdue for a repartition like yugoslavia.

Well many including Ukraine itself would disagree with you. There is a strong argument that the Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

The history goes back to probably the dissolution of the USSR and Putin wanting to resurrect the USSR. Putin's unprovoked attack has destroyed the lives of millions of innocents lives and I don't see how that can be justified.

Perhaps it is you that should read up on some history. An independent Ukraine dates back to 1917 with the creation of the Ukrainian People's Republic. Other than Crimea (which as added to Ukraine in 1954) the borders between Ukraine and Russia go back to 1922.

Even if true, that is a problem for the Ukrainians to resolve, not the Russians.

The country is about 1/3 polish,1/3 uke,1/3 russian and long overdue for a repartition like yugoslavia.

According to the 2001 census, Ukraine is 77.8% Ukrainian, 17.3% Russian, and only 0.3% Polish. Even in Donbas, Luhansk Oblast is 58% Ukrainian and only 39% Russian; and Donetsk Oblast is 56.9% Ukrainian and only 38.2% Russian. The Russian population in these two oblast is concentrated mainly in the cities with the countryside being overwhelmingly Ukrainian. Only Crimea has a Russian majority with 67.9% Russian and 15.7% Ukrainian.
