@rtorres4132 The Azov are a tiny fraction of the Ukrainian army and Putin had zero intention of sticking to the Minsk agreement its theatre for the masses to plan the current invasion takes 4/5 years. There's a shale oil / Gas shelf in the east stretching west above the Dinipro river there's also large Lithium deposits near Dinipro itself plus large shale oil/gas off Crimean coast. People aren't ethnically anything just because they speak a language. Ireland doesn't belong to the UK just because it speaks English. Only a hardcore group of nationalist nutters wanted Putin's FSB thugs roaming round disappearing people Its just a piracy petro mineral war by a thug who can

@rtorres4132 No one was ever going to invade Russia the Army that's built up is offensive based its not designed to defend I'd suggest you also read The Art of War by Sun Tzu I'd further recommend reading historical material on Stalin's great Purges one of which was to order the murder of 60,000 Ukrainian political prisoners in 1941

@rtorres4132 Except the Ukrainian government isn't neo Nazi Look I'll give you a clue Putin is the Fascist his propaganda network is straight out Goebbels for advanced Autocracies The Wagner Group are Ultra Nationalists He conveniently ignores the Stalin era because its his new blueprint for Russia The Russian economy is fked anyway you've lost 300k of your best and brightest in the 20 - 30 age range who have left the country You've also lost dead and injured 40-60k (3 wounded to each death) and injured by modern weapons means your arm and leg blown off. Ukraine is in full mobilisation and Russia is sending in 6 week trained kids

Its about oil and gas and the fact that Russia pays billions for the privilege of using Ukrainian pipelines Go look at a shale oil gas deposit map of Ukraine and what do you notice oh yea its mostly in the east and north look here there's lithium as well near Dinipro Its just piracy its about stealing Ukraine's mineral and fossil wealth and that's why he can't stop and why there won't be a ceasefire or meaningful peace talks
