@ВладиславНиколаев-ч5щ What you say is perfectly reasonable, except for one thing: Ukraine has violated every agreement made with Russia. Russia has the overwhelming advantage and the momentum.
What guarantees would Russia have that the puppet regime in Kiev wouldn't go right back to the same behavior? Each of the last couple cease-fires have only given Kiev breathing room to build up forces and go right back to bombing what's left of the Donbass. There's no self-reflection about their ethnic cleansing efforts.
I feel bad for Ukraine, because it's always been a country divided, because of the very large ethnic Russian population. If you want a good, strong country, you need one common language. If ethnic Russians refuse to assimilate, Ukraine can't have a unified nation. Maybe they were doomed from the start.
It seems to me, though, that they could put together a one-nation, one-culture plan that didn't involve bombing the expletive-deleted out of their own people. But since they were overthrown in 2014, they've been run by western neocons, who are always stirring up trouble, especially where they lack the real wherewithal to impose their will by force. So, like all empires before them, they resort to dirty tricks, like regime change.
