    Well when Ukraine has been under Soviet oppression for decades/ generations and forced to speak the language of the oppressors, the moscovite language will be present for generations to follow. additionally, The moscovites are good at brain washing

    And this is why throughout History Humans have tried and failed to separate ourselves with lines on maps and flags. The gray areas. Putin sees Ukraine as Hitler saw Austria.

    So Dictator Putin has more than 120,000 troops. Surrounding Ukraine border. VLAD already invaded CRIMEA, Georgia and Western Ukraine in 2014. VLAD is not a good liar. Just like Crooked/Traitor Drumpf.

    Vlad wants warm water ports in order to amass greater pressure on Turkey who bottlenecks access from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

    Why did Obama/Biden already give Putin Crimea and Eastern Ukraine in 2014 with no questions asked? Oh right, weakness!!! Why did Putin feel free to meddle in the 2016 Presidential Elections? Oh right, a weak Dem President who was afraid of Vlad. Got it now.

    Correction: Putin invaded Eastern Ukraine. This might be the begining and end of Putin. Nato (U.N.) are sending weapons, planes, troops. The whole enchilada. Anti tanks, anti planes. VLADY is in big trouble. Also sanctions that will cripple Mother Russia bigly. Russia economy will collapse. Mark my words.

    It’s such a shame to see this division, because there are so many things that should unite Russia and Ukraine – anti-semitism, racism, homophobia, alcoholism, mail-order brides, tasteless cuisine – why go to war with your twin brother?

    If Putin really thinks they should all be one big happy ethno-state together, why is he posturing troops for war and heightening the threat of violence and loss of lives, in addition to international sanctions? Why isn’t he pushing for constitutional reform and a referendum in his own country, to peacefully cede Russian national sovereignty over to Ukraine, instead? Oh, because it’s not really about that at all? Okay then.
