Kozyrev statements are interesting, it is a tragedy that he failed and that the revanchists won.
But Ukraine's und USA's way to deal with the revanchists (full confrontation) was reckless and stupid.
- kspacewalk2 3y agoI wonder what you mean by "full confrontation"? Not rolling over and surrendering meekly? Ukraine is a sovereign state, it won't be neutered and turned into Russia's client state. If it takes "full confrontation" to do so, what other choice is there?
- hackandthink 3y agoI mean the Maidan coup/revolution, not implementing Minsk 2, the shelling of cities in eastern Ukraine and the NATO partnership program.
- khokhol 3y agoWhich shelling events, specifically, are you referring to? Locations and dates, please.

More than 85 per cent of these casualties occurred in Donetsk region."
- khokhol 3y agoWe know about the report. How do its contents establish causus bellum?
- hackandthink 3y agoSince Grozny, Putin has been a brutal war criminal for me. For me, nothing justifies this war. It is a political question of how to deal with Russia's claims to power in Ukraine or the Caucasus. Georgia was smarter in my opinion. Ukrainian nationalists and their neoconservative supporters from the USA were less wise. There should be a political discussion. https://www.rnd.de/politik/krieg-in-der-ukraine-botschafter-andrij-melnyk-fordert-mehr-diplomatie-5LSQ3UW77RGJXCRQM72PYM2FYY.html https://www.rnd.de/politik/krieg-in-der-ukraine-botschafter-...
- khokhol 3y agoGeorgia was smarter in my opinion. The situations are not really comparable, given that Russia's designs on Ukraine are very different. Categorically different in fact. Perhaps in the years 2014-2022 they were somewhat comparable (when Russia was more or less trying to keep Ukraine in an extended "punishment box"). But definitely not since.
