  41.  @davidh7071  Yes, I have seen the order that Zelensky signed. "Ukraine joined NATO's Partnership for Peace in 1994 and the NATO-Ukraine Commission in 1997, then agreed the NATO-Ukraine Action Plan in 2002 and entered into NATO's Intensified Dialogue program in 2005. In 2010, during the premiership of Viktor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian parliament voted to abandon the goal of NATO membership and re-affirm Ukraine's neutral status, while continuing its co-operation with NATO" On 09/02/21, Zelensky met with Biden and pressed for Ukraine's entry to NATO. "following the overthrow of former president Viktor Yanukovich" "The prime minister of Ukraine’s autonomous region of Crimea reportedly claimed control of the military and police on Saturday, while appealing to Russia for help in maintaining order." Russia sent troops from Sevastopol and Russia so that Crimea could hold a referendum on joining the Russian Federation. On 1 March 2014, pro-Russian citizens at a meeting in Lenin Square in the center of Donetsk elected Gubarev as governor of the region.[11] On 3 March 2014, Gubarev led pro-Russian protesters who blockaded and occupied the Donetsk Regional State Administration building.[12] During a press-conference with journalists on 6 March 2014, Gubarev stated that his main goal as the self-proclaimed governor was to declare a referendum on the territorial status of Donetsk Oblast, non-recognition of the new Ukrainian government, and non-recognition of Donetsk governor Serhiy Taruta. Girkin became involved in April '14 whilst Gubarev was imprisoned by the SSU. He was a Russian Army veteran and former SSB officer until 2003. He said his unit was formed in Crimea and consisted of volunteers from Russia, Crimea, and other regions of Ukraine.
