You are a victim of western MSM. The Russian Donbass extending to Odessa ( next on Vlads chopping block?) has been ethnic Russian for centuries.
Katherine the Great founded Odessa and invested in the Donbass, believing anything else is a fool’s game.
The best answer to this war is what NATO did to Yugoslavia, carve them up. Poland, Russia, Romania, and Hungary each get their historic territories returned to them from an imposter nation called “Ukraine”.
The corrupted, immoral little green a goblin can rule over what is left, if he isn’t hung up on a lamppost by his people for what he has done to them.
In any case, carry on, Private.
I've been saying all along that Russia should/would take Odessa, for any number of reasons - not the least of which using it as a bargaining chip... if they don't jusy keep it.
“Katherine the Great founded Odessa”
...by simply renaming the pre-existing Mongol-established port city of Khadjibey.
The most recent census, as well as those from the Soviet era, show that this is not true. Why are you continuing to push this falsehood?
