They don't want to educate and inform us about the terrible Soviet created famines of the 1930 s , Ukraine heritage. Instead they portray Ukrainian people as a load of needy stupid peasants unable to stand on their own two feet. It's s complete re run of the WMD lies used to invade Iraq. The west do not want you to have independence and security. As for western Europe ,they just want to exploit the poverty and cheap labour from Ukrainian people who have to slave in Poland and elsewhere. Ukraine Rise for self determination. Unity is strength.

And if you knew Russians like we do - you would join Nato or even Satan just to keep such "loving" neighbour at bay. Why is easy to answer - because with army 6x size of Ukrainian they think they can come and take whatever they want. Dreams of reuniting old USSR never die. In addition - scoring some political points inside Russia when his polls in decline. Former USSR members either submitted to Russia (though formally independent) or fighting the war with Russia minions in disguise (that Russia calls "civil"). Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine - all in the same situation.

No, the reason this would be done is sensible. Because directly including Ukraine at this stage would actually potentially be strategically more dangerous. Having a 3rd party petition FOR YOU is smart because it removes some of the emotion/heated argument that might be had if Ukraine and Russia were allowed to discuss it. The U.S. also has more game theoretic power in this situation and therefore by saying "No you can't talk to Ukraine in this meeting" it forces Russia to have diplomacy with the United States which puts Russia in a far less favorable position because they can't just bring up one hundred and one reasons why Ukraine this and Ukraine that. It's one way of saying "The buck stops here. Here's what is going to happen:". I think Ukraine could or should be involved at some point, but as a first matter, having the most powerful military power in the world say "Yes, we'd like to meet with you right now, thanks" is a lot more important and intimating than involving the object of Russia's ire.

South Sudan conflict has killed an estimated 400,000 people by 2018. The Second Congo War, from nine African countries, plus the Democratic Republic of Congo, killed 6 Million people.
