>I do not deny the neo-Nazis sabotaging things, nor that Poroshenko has got to go - but they don’t represent the overall commitment of average people in the country (including those who are ethnic Russian or part Russian.) . To seek a path freed from Putin’s grip.
They’re already free. Western Ukraine doesn’t have the Russians calling the shots. The conflict here is the coup government of Kiev wanting to conquer and oppress the Russian speaking areas. That conflict would end if the western government just divided the country along ethnic lines and gave up their claims to the east.
That’s been the reasonable solution from the start but that’s something that the government in Kiev refuses to do so the fighting continues.
Oh please;
hitler used the same rationale in
Czechoslavakia and Poland.
You have bought Russia propaganda about Russian speaking supposedly meaning anti-Ukraine. The situation there is a bit like in Ireland. Someone being an English speaker does not mean they are against the Republic of Ireland.
So you are saying that Russia should give up claims to any areas within its borders that are not ethnic Russian? The Chechnians will certainly be happy to hear that.
