The current conflict in Ukraine is a direct result of the failure of the Minsk Agreements. Between 2014 and 2015, Russia and the European Union mediated negotiations between the breakaway republics of Donbass and the Kiev government, reaching a mutually beneficial protocol that was expected to guarantee regional peace. However, the terms of the pact were never respected by the Ukrainian regime, which continued to constantly attack the republics and advance its project of “de-Russification” and ethnic cleansing.

What’s a Krynky?
You've been watching too much of Solovyev and the well-fed wench on Rooshin TV. Do you still have one of them soviet TV's with the three buttons for the pre-set channels instead of a dial?
The Ukie cannon fodder is welcome to come and take it.
Did something happen to their cornflakes this morning? 
Did you see the Re-Animator that is after me now?
“Possession is 9/10th of the law” is a lawless statement as is “might is right”. A thief is not allowed to keep his stolen goos just because he possesses them. The Russians are criminals and are in possession of stolen lands from both the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine. Even Sochi was a Georgian town. Russia is guilty of generations of genocide. Putin needs killin.
Who goes around stealing goos?
That stuff will get all over everything. I've heard it's worse than butyl rubber.
Somebody spilled goos all over them...
“The Russian troops are also defending the the Russian Republic of Crimea and the Russian federal city of Sevastopol.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You are so wrong, it’s actually comedy at this point. :)
Here you have your Dear Leader Putin himself contradicting your smokey theories...
“In an interview with Germany’s ARD television in 2008, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow recognizes ALL of Ukraine’s borders, and that there is no issue of ethnic conflict in Crimea. His comments, delivered shortly after Russia’s military intervention in the Georgian breakaway region of South Ossetia, stand in stark contrast with Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its support of armed separatists in eastern Ukraine.”

Unintended consequence of that Euromaidan coup in 2014.
A few here said the Ukrainians did a “coup d’etat”? Wrong.
The Ukrainians suddenly understood that their President Viktor Yanukovych was actually an impostor working directly for Russia.
To confirm how awful president Viktor Yanukovych was, we have to remember that he asked Kremlin to send Russian troops into Ukraine in order to eradicate the Ukrainian people’s demonstration against his pro-Russian Government!
Talk about the DEEP STATE = Viktor Yanukovych!
Ukrainians want their own president to be working for UKRAINE, and NOT for Russia. That’s logical.
Ukraine’s ex-president Viktor Yanukovych found guilty of treason. /// Exiled former leader sentenced to 13 years’ jail over 2014 protests and Russian invasion.
Funny you should mention that. Jetzt Geht's Los:
Germany to seize more than $790 mln from Russian financial group
"Prosecutors in Germany said on Wednesday they would move to confiscate more than 720 million euros ($790 million) from the Frankfurt bank account of a Russian financial institution, marking the country's first such attempt."
"Prosecutors in Germany said on Wednesday they would move to confiscate more than 720 million euros ($790 million) from the Frankfurt bank account of a Russian financial institution inflict further damage on Western financial systems by pirating the assets of depositors, marking the country's first such attempt."
What country is going to be foolish enough to leave assets lying around where the West can steal them, hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
....and there's $299.3 Billion where that came from.
Free Republic is a political forum.
It's not known for its economic acuity, and you're Exhibit A.
Here we have an opportunity for you to display your knowledge of economics. Lets go through Gazprom's 2023 financial statements, assuming that they are ever released and somewhat close to the truth.
If a bank steals money from its customers, pretty soon people start avoiding that bank.
Pretty complex for a guy like you, I know.
Speaking of ignorant commies, I'm looking forward to reviewing whatever Gazprom tries to pass off as its 2023 AR.
