For the umpteenth time not a soul here is doing that....you guys must have some sort of deep attachment to Ukraine to consistently brow beat anything that doesn't adhere to your deep bias for Ukraine. Seeing Ukraine for what it is, and not what you might imagine it to be is not being for Russia...it's seeing that all players have a stake in Ukraine and they're all using whatever means available to play to win...and none are exempt from playing in the dirt.
Ukraine citizens are not the USA nor even remotely close to the EU....why do you think the EU refused to sign with Ukraine for full EU membership? Sheesh, they know it's not only a bankrupt nation, which they do not want responsibility for,..but they know how corrupt it is as well as Ukraine's difficulty in controlling it's violent nature to fight among themselves, even when their is no revolution or discord..... To think the culture is anything more than it is is simply naive.
You’ve an irrational attachment to Putin to defend his crimes contantly.
