To be fair the sentence was "the Duma had passed legislation to recognize *those parts of, of the Ukraine as separate entities*" The "the" is tied to the plurality in the sentence. You can still say that without meaning "THE Ukraine" At most, it could be redundant- but in this case, it's not grammatically wrong. Like saying "parts of the United States" "Parts of United States" sounds, and is - wrong. Basically "there's fighting on the Ukraine border" or "there's fighting on Ukraine's border" are perfectly fine.

[@fassolhermani5984]

@@Coach_Brian 'the' is used before an adjective or plural when talking about proper nouns like the United States, the Hebrides, the Russian federation or the United Kingdom, in this case United and russian are adjectives, and Hebrides are plural (it's an archipelago).

Re: Putin's motives. He knows that he can never defeat the West. But the closest he could come to defeating the West is to have a nuclear war, one that will destroy most of the West, and most of the East, but he just might survive, and be hailed as the champion or Russia. Further, even if he didn't survive, he considers he will go down in history as the champion of Russia. This IS his off-ramp. At his age, after his years of struggle as a leader, a nuclear war serves as his swan song, and he is singing it to himself as the West tries to figure out what he is "thinking." This motive makes bombing of hospitals and schools and humanitarian routes irrelevant to Putin, since the final result makes all of those just unimportant, if not moot points along the way to the massive destruction contemplated, accepted, and/or even hoped for. This ugly motive is of course deniable, but I say it is his intention, and that he is perfectly willing to risk it all in order to have this big "win" as part of his legacy. NATO, and the rest of world leaders should acknowledge this, brainstorm it, and prepare accordingly.

[@artmanrom]

If nuclear war starts, there's wouldn't be history anymore, only nuclear winter for centuries, and if somehow some very few human would survive that, they will be back to the stone age.

I'll put it to you like this. Long ago, Vladimir Putin used The KGB as a way out of the brutal poverty he grew up in. But then The KGB used him and groomed him into an assassin on a geopolitical scale. This is what we are seeing here with him, and the best solution is to fight fire with fire. In other words, sending enough dead Russian soldiers home with their heads removed from their bodies, and will send a serious message that coming to Ukraine will have extremely severe consequences. This will not only frighten Russia's soldiers to the marrow of their bones but also really anger the families of those dead soldiers when they receive a body bag minus their family members' heads.

Freedom Hackers… if you’re listening … take some of this truth and dump it on public accessible media inside Russia on all kinda different channels at the same time.

@@ОльгаОвсянникова-д1с I am responding to this new profile for casual readers. Russia toys with information ...let's see... you are on social media.... Are you in Russia? Seems we need to start at the beginning of your reply. Is it true that most social media and independent, non state media, is off the air. That makes me think your reply is not authentic.

Thanks to the actions of the DPR army and the RF Armed Forces, 43,000 civilians were evacuated from Mariupol today. As soon as the Nazis lost the opportunity to shoot civilians leaving the city, the hostages held in Mariupol as human shields poured out of the city.

You have a confused sense of who are the Nazis.
