Couple of years ago, before this war....I was reading a demographic breakdown of the Ukraine. More than 30 different minorities in the country, and some date back to 2,000 years ago. To say that the nation is just ethnic Ukrainian and ethnic Russian...is not correct.
How they’ve managed to survive as a nation the size of Texas and this divided, is pretty much a miracle in itself.
Communist dictators and people in the upper echelons of their societies tend to express sweet sentimental reasons for their penchant for invading and plundering other countries and enslaving their peoples. But they seek more wealth and military power to continue to plunder the world, its people, and its resources.
That’s actually one of the more honest History articles I’ve read. It leaves out some MOSTLY minor details - including President Petro Poroshenko, who himself became a victim of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his mudslinging campaign and trumped up charges that Poroshenko aided Russian separatists in the East through some kind of strange coal deal.
