Is Poland, Estonia or Latvia a "lackey of Western imperialism"? Russians cannot seem to accept that Ukrainians and ALL former eastern bloc nations would rather be part of the EU and have their standard of living vs some Russian-BananaStan Economic Group.
Putin didn’t object to these former Soviet block countries seeking economic integration with the EU, but draws the line at them allowing NATO to become a military threat on their borders. Tell me the US wouldn’t respond similarly if Russia set up military bases in Mexico or Canada. You must be Ukrainian yourself being this stupid.
