Crimea and Donbas had been a domestic affair of Ukraine before 2014, but Russia ignored that out of position of power.
This issue will be in the end again decided by power.
- thriftwy 4y agoThat's why Russia has to secure and hold on to all those additional lands to avoid war coming to its core turf.
- The_Colonel 4y agoThat's been their excuse for most of their past invasions. Russia did not feel secure enough with East Germany, I guess it won't end until Portugal is secured. Anyway, I think the chance that Ukraine would continue beyond their internationally recognized borders is close to zero.
- thriftwy 4y agoThat's Europe for you, everybody invading everybody else all the time. I'm not even sure what is their chance of regaining anything at all.
- The_Colonel 4y agoEuropean countries stopped invading each other after WW2 (most of the exceptions committed by SU/Russia). Who knows how this will end up, it's still very open. In WW1, Russia collapsed after about 3 years of war, in Afghanistan it took them about 10 years to retreat (and subsequently collapse).
- thriftwy 4y agoWhat about WW2 kind of ending?
- The_Colonel 4y agoRussia occupying Berlin is pretty much impossible. Russia occupying Kyiv is possible, but rather unlikely. I think it's less likely than a Russian collapse.
