17% is a considerable number in a nation of nearly 45 million.

78% is ethnic Ukrainian. That would be a large number.

The Khmer Rouge killed “only” 20% of the Cambodians.

Khmer Rouge? Ukraine? Whatever.

More to the discussion, Stalin killed 10 million Ukrainians.

I read somewhere here on FR that Russian ethnics make up to about 70% of southern and eastern parts of the country - the parts Russia seems to be most interested in.

I don't think that's correct.

>>Ethnic Russians make up 17% of the population of Ukraine.

That’s not “a good many”.<<

Numbers like that means nothing in terms of Ukrainian demographics.

That 17% are people who clearly identifies themselves as Russians. They don’t know a word in Ukrainian, they are refusing to stand to Ukrainian anthem and has a Russian flag flying in their yards.

Another 40% of Ukrainians actually calls themselves Ukrainians but they still don’t speak Ukrainian, they are watching only Russian movies, listening to Russian music, and they are getting their news from Russian media. They are Ukrainians in name only.

Putin has Carte Blanche to annex the entirety of the former USSR as long as a fellow traveler is POTUS

Germans beware.

You’re the moron who suggested that Russians “only” make up 17% of the population. I was giving you a comparison number, I can’t help it if you’re too damn stupid to figure that out.

And of course nowhere in any of my posts did I say that 17% of the population of Ukraine, the ethnic Russian part, isn't millions of people.

As I said previously when you are thru posting nonsense give me a ping.
