Say it again, Russia invaded Ukraine to seize land, nothing more. Everything else is pretext.
If Iraqs WMD did actually exist, as I believed at the time, then we were justified in restarting the war against Iraq that they started by trying a land grab of Kuwait. Get the picture? Agression for territory in not acceptable. Not by Hussein, not by Putin. That said the WMD did not exist so the war wan not necessary.
First off, Russia was already in Crimea. So, they didn't invade at all in 2014. They did move in reinforcements when they decided to take Crimea back, that Nikita gave them in 1954, to celebrate the 300th anniversary since Ukraine's unification with Russia. The Presidium of the Supreme Council gathered for a session on February 19, 1954 - only 13 of 27 members were present. There was no quorum, but the decision was adopted unanimously.
The Supreme Council of Russia ruled in 1992 that the Crimean region had been delivered to Ukraine illegitimately.
Then you claim he waited 8 years to invade Ukraine, because all he wanted was to seize their land. Tell me why he waited 8 years? I would be interested in your thinking on that.
Actually, Putin tried for those 8 years to get Ukraine to live up to the Minsk agreements.
If anyone doubted that the Minsk Package was anything but yet another fake, Petro Poroshenko dispelled this myth by saying on June 17, 2022: “The Minsk Agreements did not mean anything to us, and we had no intention to carry them out… our goal was to remove the threat we faced… and win time in order to restore economic growth and rebuild the armed forces. We achieved this goal. Mission accomplished for the Minsk Agreements.”
The people of Ukraine are still paying the price of this fake.
The truth is, you have no clue as to what this conflict is about or why it even happened.
Instead your pea brain focuses only on "Russia invaded Ukraine". That's because that is all you desire to see, for some strange reason. These things are often times much more complex than what the average person actually knows or cares to know. Mainly because the corrupt press only gives most people what they want them to know, and nothing else.
