Funny when I was in high school it was taught that the Ukraine was the breadbasket of Russia. In other words, the Ukraine is pretty damn important to the superpower.

Russia’s position on Ukraine is no different than what our position would be if Texas had seceded from America 30 years ago and had been taken over by the Soviet Union.

Yes. In addition the largest open pit iron mine in Europe, Antonov aircraft company, warm water port at Odessa, etc. Putin wants Ukraine back.
