For whatever foreign-backed interests were behind the Euro-maidan...once Putin annexed Crimea, and even moreso in light of the conflict in the East (Donetsk/Donbass) :
Average Ukrainians (including ethnic Russians who live there) who were on the fence have solidified their commitment to resist Putin’s neo-Soviet, net-imperial sphere of influence.
Hence the tearing down of all the Lenin statues in Ukraine.
Hence the adoption of Western Christmas (12/25) as a national holiday to celebrate alongside Orthodox Christmas...
Among other moves solidifying Ukraine’s psycho-spiritual orientation towards European integration.
Hmm. You don’t think that the vast majority of voters in Crimea wanting to leave Ukraine means anything? Or the fact that historically Crimea was part of Russia? Or the ultra repressive laws passed in Ukraine against those of Russian origin, or Russian speaking with Russian names, means anything?
And your assertion that “Putin learned from Soros” is really odd, considering that Soros will be arrested if he sets foot on Russian soil, so is not exactly popular there.
You seem rather biased.
Ukraine’s going nowhere fast.....it is and always will remain a debtor state under outside control, the Imf and corporate interests in the US and EU created it to be so now .....aside from Industrial Northern Ukraine, which Putin will keep as a conflict zone, he’s not sweating any bullets over the rest of Ukraine.....he got what he wanted which was Crimea.
