“So the alternative is to accept the slave masters in Moscow?”
For the MILLIONS of Russians living in Ukraine, that is their desire. For the radicals in Western Ukraine, they chose to be lapdogs to the Neocons, so they paid the price. My thought is that they’ll simply emigrate to Europe.
The ethnic Ukrainians, who are 80% of the population, don’t seem to agree to your terms. Ethnic Russians are only 17% of Ukraine’s population.
Russians are a minority in Ukraine. They do not get to dictate to the Ukrainians what they should do. Even in Donbas polls have shown that they prefer union with Ukraine over Russia 2:1. You should accept the truth rather than projecting what you think it should be.
