When Ukraine gave the USSR nuclear weapons that they had control of after the USSR collapse to Russia that decided it’s fate! Eventually it will re-absorbed back into Russia. Oh yeah the USA & UK guaranteed Ukrainian sovereignty if Ukraine gave up the weapons! Oh yes like we & UK would fight a nuclear war over Ukrainian independence!
Ukraine leadership needs to learn concessions are part of dealing just as they learned in trading of prisoners. Their new President appears to understand this.....regardless of how media wants to affect the outcome of negotiations according to their own bias.
I see a possible precedent here. Its a take over border issue. Khrushchev gave the parcel to Ukraine for saving Russia’s ass in WWII. Now they want it back? The German borders were moved back westward stopping at the Oder river. How long before they’ll want their eastern territory that is now Poland?
