  1. "We know it" typical dunning-Kruger, falling over itself to know without any actual knowledge.

  2.  @terrence8634  you realize that Crimea was cut off from the water supply from the Dnipro from 2014 to 2022? No, I didn't think so. They coped. The cost to Ukraine from the destruction is far greater.

  3. @Judith Arnett  Russia had the motive; it reduced the options to the Ukrainians for their offensive, and Russia had the means, it was a massive explosion from within the dam that destroyed it, it's very difficult to explain how Ukraine could have planted the huge amounts of explosives when the dam has been under Russian control for a year. Ukraine also has every intention to reclaim the whole of the Kherson oblast, now they'll have to find the billions of dollars to rebuild the dam.

  4. @Gopal Meharwade  do you know that when Russia invaded there were 80,000 foreign students in Ukraine? Most of them from Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The closest you can get to a Nazi policy is the standardization of Ukraine as the official language. The wider policies of the Ukrainian government were absolutely not fascist. There was a single far right representative in the Ukraine parliament and he was in opposition. The Russian invasion was condemned not just by the governing parties but also by the pro-Russian parties, who are now advocating for Ukraine to join the EU.

  6. @Gopal Meharwade  without supporting facts, analysis and reasoning your opinion is only an unsupported opinion.

  7. @Hi Friends  Russia is a country that invaded its neighbor, initiating a major war that has so far killed over a hundred thousand people. To end this conflict all that is required is for Russia to honor its commitment to respect Ukraine's independence and sovereignty.

  8.  @firstordertrooper3339  you just demonstrate that you can't refute what I've said.

  9. @Boyd W  I made a comment addressing your claims in detail, unfortunately like most of the comments by people in this thread it hasn't appeared (of 51 replies only 22 at most are visible to the public), I might try again in a few hours.

  10. The Euromaidan started in November 2013, it was a popular protest to President Viktor Yanukovych’s sudden decision not to sign the EU association agreement that had been worked out between the Ukraine Government and the EU. Yanukovych announced instead that he would seek closer ties with Russia. Ukraine’s parliament had overwhelmingly approved of implementing the agreement with the EU, Yanukovych changed his mind about the agreement after having a little chat with Putin. Russia pushed a narrative that it was a US plot to orchestrate a coup against Yanukovych. This narrative does not stand up to critical thought. Why would hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian’s revolt against their government because the US wanted them to? Isn’t it just a tad more likely that they were not zombies under the mind control powers of Victoria Nuland, but rather normal human beings acting in their own interests? If Victoria Nuland has the power to influence hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to revolt against their president in this way, why on earth hasn’t she been sent to Moscow?? Since the Euromaiden Revolution there have been two elections in Ukraine, in 2014, shortly after Yanukovych fled the country Petro Poroshenko was elected, in 2019 Zelinsky was successful when he stood against Poroshenko, comfortably defeating him. Poroshenko is currently actively working against the Russian aggression, both in encouraging Ukrainian’s and calling for more international support. The figure of 14,000 dead is from the UN observers, that figure includes military and paramilitary on both sides and civilian deaths. By year the civilian deaths are: 2014 2084 2015 955 2016 112 2017 117 2018 58 2019 27 2020 26 2021 25 So total civilian deaths on both sides is just over 3,400 up until the February 2022 Russian invasion. It should be noted that the level of conflict reduced substantially after 2015 and again after Zelensky was elected in 2019. The civilian deaths from active military operations in 2019 -2021 was less than half those total civilian deaths, most of the deaths being caused by explosive remnants of war and land mines expended and planted in the earlier years of the conflict. Since the February Russian invasion Russia has killed over 10,000 civilians in the Donbas through their indiscriminate shelling, which utterly destroyed Mariupol. Boyd W, your claim the Nato has pushed Ukraine towards Nato membership is nonsense, in fact Nato has done the exact opposite. It has not invited Ukraine to join and has made it clear to Ukraine that under the situation that existed between 2014 and 2022 Ukraine COULD NOT JOIN NATO. Your claim that Nato has pushed for Ukraine to host Nukes is beyond ridiculous. There are no nukes in any of the countries that joined Nato after 1990 and the only Nato nukes based in Europe are in 6 bases that hosted them prior to 1990, all of those bases are over 2000km from Moscow and the only nukes that are there are B61 free fall bombs to be carried by the aircraft of the host nations. The Crimea "referendum" happened after Russia gained control of Crimea and has been ruled illegal by the UN and is not considered to have been honest, there were no international observers permitted and there were irregularities. "Russian intel discovered Ukraine was about to launch a major offensive to attempt to steamroll the Ukrainian breakaway regions & Crimea." That claim is complete nonsense the only party that claims there was such an offensive planned is Russia, while Russia lied about it's own planned offensive right up until it was launch.
