It’s definitely an atrocity by the Russians.
It’s not their land.
“It’s definitely an atrocity by the Russians. It’s not their land.”
Seems to me that decision will soon be up to Russia. Ukraine had the chance to treat their people in the East humanely, and they did for 24 years...but I guess they changed their minds. Too bad for them.
It’s not Ukraine’s either. The ppl in the Donbass had 2 referendums in 2014 and voted overwhelmingly to be independent from Ukraine. Unlike Kosovo, the West ignored their votes, and then Azov was sent to the Donbass to squelch the uprising by shelling and shooting at them 24/7. Mariupol was the base of operations for Azov.
