  1. Zelensky had a chance to prevent this conflict through diplomacy. But he lacked the courage and the conviction. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If you don't believe me, do your own research and find out for yourself. This conflict was preventable. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Russia's national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated that if nothing changes, they will be forced to act in order to defend their national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and nato. NATO is not a defensive alliance. The war machine called NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing a natural disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and recently arrested a leading priest. Zelensky also tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. With respect to Crimea. The Sevastopol naval base is the main base of the Black sea fleet. Losing this base would be catastrophic for the Russian national security. This is why Russia quickly annexed Crimea. This and the fact that the populace is predominantly ethnic Russian. The reason Russia annexed Crimea without a single shot being fired is because the majority of the populace in Crimea is ethnic Russian. The results of the Crimean status referendum support this fact. I think it would have been best for Ukraine to give up Crimea. A piece of territory that Khrushchev gifted to Ukraine in 1954 is not worth the destruction we are witnessing today. The Russians don't recognize the legality of the transfer because it did not correspond to the constitution. War is hell and my heart bleeds for those who have suffered. Praying for the innocent people. 🙏
