When did Ukraine attack Russia? Actually, Putin himself has stated that he wants to reclaim āhistorical Russia,ā which is non-Russian territory the Russians invaded and annexed throughout history such as Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics, Finland, Poland, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
ukraine has been attacking russian speakers since 2014. āhistorical russiaā refers to the land WHERE RUSSIANS LIVE. in russia there are multiple words for russia and russian and they all mean different things, and of course the us media chose the one that sounds the scariest to trick people like you
The ethnic Russians in Ukraine are colonizers who moved there when Soviet Russian invaded Ukraine and started separatist rebellions against Ukraine in 2014. Also, false, Russia has had imperialistic ambitions for centuries, otherwise they wouldāve just annexed the eastern territories and called it a day as opposed to trying to take out all of Ukraine
and they are not trying to take all of ukraine. if they wanted to take all of ukraine they would be invading from belarus and opening a second front rather than concentrating forces on the russian speaking regions that are subject to forced ukranization and oppression for religion, language, ethnicity
Excuse not colonizer from the Soviet Union, colonizers from the Russian Empire, my b. Again, false, the Muscovite Rus (which became Russia) invaded the Kievan Rus (which became Ukraine) throughout the 1600s. Plus attacked Poland, the Baltics, Finland, the Polotsks/Belarussians, Central Asians, Caucasians. Russia is the imperialistic aggressor, point blank period
what are you even talking about? this is wrong on so many levels. the kievan rusā was destroyed by the golden horde, and subsequently annexed and divided amongst many principalities. muscovy was the largest and most powerful and eventually came to dominate the region. the kievan rusā did not exist to be invaded into, it was lithuania and the tatars
āa few years of ukrainian independenceā you mean constant turbulence and rump states with zero government structure or international recognition beyond a mildly organized army in the middle of the civil war? who were either completely subservient to the germans or bolsheviks? āindependenceā
Also, the Ukrainian nation-state and the Russian nation-state changed their names many times throughout history, so look up the Russian invasions, attacks and annexations against the Cossack Hetmanate. Yes, there were parts of Ukrainian territory under Polish-Lithuanian control too.
Parts of Ukraine were also occupied centuries prior by the Mongols. Also, Ukraine became independent when WWI ended. They werenāt a German puppet state. Ukraine had a legitimate independent democratic government that the Bolsheviks overthrew when they invaded Ukraine. The Germans already f*cked off from the Eastern Front after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, regardless, the Bolshevik invasion wasnāt justified, and it wasnāt blatant imperialism
