> Because it's evil Russia attacked poor innocent Ukraine in 2014 The poor innocent Ukrainian government did pass a bill to prohibit official use of minority languages on the eastern part of the country (dominated by Russian-speaking population) on a Sunday morning of February 23, 2014. It happened a day after their president had to flee the country. It was clearly a period of political crisis and no one was supposed to work and enact any legislation on that weekend day in the first place. No one was supposed to pass a bill of that significance without extended debates and a referendum specifically. But the coup leaders decided to move forward with it nonetheless. Russian troops legally stationed in Crimea took over the peninsula 4 days after that punitive act of the Ukraine government against its own russian-speaking population of the eastern part of the country. The reinforcement from Russia were only sent 6 days after the event, as the Kiyv regime decided to escalate.

> prohibit official use of minority languages on the eastern part of the country No, they did the same for all languages. Romanians have lived in Northern Bucovina for centuries, yet you don't see us invading Ukraine. But what you're saying is fair because they should only have prohibited Russian since they are the people who genocided Ukrainians so they have no right to occupy Ukraine.

  > No, they did the same for all languages. are you negating "prohibited official use of minority languages" with "they did the same for all languages" as a means to show that the bill was even-headed? > But what you're saying is fair because they should only have prohibited Russian since they are the people who genocided Ukrainians so they have no right to occupy Ukraine. Right, the Russian language had to be prohibited because Russia would react to Ukraine's prohibiting the use of the Russian language for russian-speaking Ukrainians, presumably as a punitive measure for their alignment with Russia due to their geographical & cultural proximity and generational ties. And that's because Romanians living in Northern Bucovina couldn't care less about it..... My take is that you deserve a Nobel prize for being the most consistent person on Earth. Thanks for showing your stance clearly in the open.

Oh these russian bots again. > Ukrainian government did pass a bill to prohibit official use of minority languages on the eastern part of the country So what? Passing some bills justify full scale military invasion? Maybe we need to invade Russia, since they pass freedom stripping bills every week.

It wasn't full scale at first, and there was leeway for a diplomatic resolution of the political crisis, which Kiyv regime decided to ignore and to escalate instead. > Maybe we need to invade Russia, since they pass freedom stripping bills every week. Who's "we"?
