0:27 The United States recognized Ukraine's independence on December 25, 1991, when President George H.W. Bush announced the decision in an address to the nation regarding the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Russia recognized Ukraine's independence on December 5, 1994, when the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances were signed.
Notice how the most powerful nation in the region gets to decide who's Independence does or does not get recognized? Yeah, I noticed that, too. Apparently, might made right. The U.S. had the might to force Russia to accept the will of Ukrainian secessionists, in 1994. Anyone who thought, that was going to last, obviously failed their World History classes. If you looked at your calendar it is not 1991 bur rather it is now 2022. Russia might have accepted the strong arm tactics of the West in 1991. But did anyone actually think it would last? Does anyone here think Taiwan's Independence will stand the test of time? I ask because I am forced to listen to CNN nonsense at home by people who refuse to read history books.
