Germany has invaded Russia twice right through Ukraine. Look at a map. Ukraine is a dagger to Russian’s midsection.
Yes it worryies them as much as it worries us to have a nuclear Cuba at our doorstep in the 60’s.
Didn’t the Ukraine region become occupied territory?
Didn’t they have cities destroyed? I mean, here we are
saying Moscow has a big fear, but it was never fully
conquered. And that’s a credit to them.
Still, the Ukraine has a right to ask for a neutral zone too.
The Ukraine didn’t attack Russia. Germany attacked Russia.
Now Russia is attacking part of it’s former self. And I
think part of the push-back Putin is getting, is that his
generals and troops don’t see the Ukraine as the enemy
he does.
The Ukraine in those days was Russian. There are Russians
who have a connection to the Ukraine.
