I seem to recall Ukraine not doing much but yelling after Russia took crimea in 2014. Funnily enough the current hot conflict occurred after Russia declared Ukraine was a fake country and people and tried to blitzkrieg Kyiv.
If Russia had actually kept to the naturally Russian ethnic area this would be a much muddier and ideologically partisan discussion. But as they tried to take the whole country, and had sights on Moldova too, it’s pretty clear cut who the bad guys are now
- justsomehnguy 4y agoThis is not the answer for the previous question. But judging by downvotes someone here knows what happened at that date.
- lovich 4y agoIt’s an answer in that I reacted to the event you were slyly trying to imply. The Ukrainians arrested the local leader of crimea and forced them to rewrite their laws to follow the Ukrainian constitution. When Russia took that region and Ukraine did nothing but yell, Russia had a much more solid argument in terms of it always being Russian land and wanting it returned. They lost that veil of plausibility when they decided to go for the rest of Ukraine in their attempted blitz of Kyiv
- justsomehnguy 4y agoAh, so amusing. "Slyly", "forced to rewrite", "local leader". Okay, okay, just because russkiez bad anything Ukraine did or does is okay, I got it.
- lovich 4y agoIs Ukraine forcing the Crimeans to rewrite their laws not bad? And is local leader not accurate? I can see taking the word “slyly” in umbrage, but the rest are accurate accounting unless you have some extra information you’d like to share
