Show morePutin would like to set the clock back to the time when Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Republic of Ukraine and was united with Russia in the USSR, before 1954, and Khrushchev decided to donate Crimea, always a strategic point in many wars, to Soviet republic of Ukraine, which was only a paper issue at the time, because it was all USSR anyway. Then in the late 80's, the USSR fell. Since 1991, Ukraine has been an independent country, like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, 3 of which later joined NATO, and have been under the NATO security flag ever since. Ukraine has also wanted this protection and accession to NATO for years. It has been a thorn in the eye for years that the strategically located Crimea was no longer part of Russia, and we know that he has already appropriated that piece. He sees himself as the leader of great Russia, and at all costs he wants to prevent more former parts of this great Russia operating independently and joining NATO, which would mean they are lost for good for living his dream. He lives with a dream of the past, which means a nightmare for others in the present.

Because a war is terrible for the people who are experiencing it and you don't know how far Putin wants to...

He has enough money himself and he does not care about the bad life that other people, ordinary people get, and he is already threatening with his nuclear weapons. What the whole world must have to deal with.
is it regrettable and very sad @roxana_ac that there must be so many deaths, destruction of the city to reach some agreements that seek a balance that will restore peace to the region. There is little information that reaches our country on this matter, but...

There is little information that reaches our country on this matter, but what you get to see on the networks is heartbreaking, today I saw the sad scene of a tank crushing a vehicle with civilians inside, this is crazy
