“Russians know war, shortages, deprivation”
The Ukrainians endured even higher casualty rates in WWII than the Russians.

Ukraine became a nation in 1991. There was a brief time in 1918 that area declared independence but it lasted a year or so before being absorbed back into Russia. I liken it to the Donbas area, those two “ Seperatists”provinces declared their independence from Ukraine a week or so before Vlad made his move. That said, I find it interesting Zelensky does not even speak Ukrainian, but Russian. Maybe because Kiev was Russia’s first Capitol?
