30 years ago? Do you really have to go back that far to portray support for the corrupt Ukrainian government? Amazing. The Soviet Union was still writhing in its death throes, causing misery for all. That’s your comparison? Wow.
Nothing is the same. The SOviet Union is gone. Our CIA and State Department worked with NATO allies to overthrow the corrupt Ukrainian government and install their corrupt puppet. The situation went from bad to worse for the public. The neo Nazis continue to torment the Russians living in Eastern Ukraine. I can’t believe you hang your geopolitics on the world that existed 30 years ago.
Oh you can go back to 2011 and see the same.
Eastern Ukraine does not want to be under Moscow’s thumb
