The Russo-Ukrainian War: An Historian's Perspective

[@Igorstadnick]

To begin with, the professor is an Ukrainian. Therefore the bias. What about Poroshenko's notorious speech equaling Russian speaking Ukrainians to sub-race? The US responsibility in the conflict? More sugar coating.

I lived in Ukraine for 7 years up to 2022, spoke only Russian, never learned Ukrainian, never experienced any problems. Oh and the US responsibility for the conflict - precisely zero. What sort of a fool are you? Putin sends his armies into a former - now independent - colony, lanuches missiles at civilians, and his hordes of soldiers eagerly set about raping women and children and castrating men ... and you choose to blame not Russian. but the US? Good grief!

I cannot fnd this "notorious speech". What I can find is from Porobshenko's inaugural address in which he said "There are moments when we must forget about divisions between us, look above the political barriers and remember that first and foremost we all are Ukrainians" and that he promised to respect "“right of local communities to their own nuances in historical memory, pantheon of heroes and religious traditions". Please provide a source for your claim. And also please remember Porobshenko was voted out of office by Ukrainians in a free and fair election held years before Russia's latest invation in 2022.

Yup Russia's the victim here. Ukraine/US/CIA/Illuminati made them invade in 2014 and then again in 2022. While I love fairy tales too, it might be time to grow up igor.
