  1. What? Ukraine doesn't have a Baltic port. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are Baltic States already in NATO. What you wrote was nonsense

  2.  @s0ycapitan  have you heard of Romania, Bulgaria or Turkey? I suggest you look at a map before writing such nonsense. Have you ever spent 5 minutes wondering why so many former Soviet Republics and Warsaw pact countries joined NATO? Do you even know what the protests in Ukraine were about? Ukraine is one of the the poorest countries in Europe because of Russia, it was seeking a better relationship with Europe and the EU because it could see how successful those former communist countries had become....this was nothing to do with NATO it was Ukrainians seeking a better life but Putin refused to allow this.

  3. You're talking about the EU not Europe so I wouldn't be accusing people of being illiterate if you don't know basic facts

  4.  @s0ycapitan  why are you defending Putin? Yanukovych had agreed to sign an association agreement with the EU which is the start of EU membership. Putin didn't like that so used economic blackmail and probably bribery to get Yanukovych to pull out of the agreement that's what caused the protests in Kyiv. You're seriously arguing with the actual statistics that showed it was the second poorest country in Europe? When the Soviet Union collapsed Poland and Ukraine had equal sized economies in in 2014 Polands economy was 4 times the size of Ukraine You want to see corruption visit Russia. EU membership would have delt with any corruption in Ukraine which was one the reason the Ukrainian people wanted to join. You literally know nothing about Russia or Ukraine.

  5.  @alexanderlazarev3570  it actually began in 2014 if you remember before the full scale invasion where Putin thought by getting his troops to remove all insignia he could deny any Russian involvement
