Description
During the bitter-cold night of January 22, under the heavy snowstorm, the protesters in Kiev set tires on fire to prevent an attack of the Berkut special forces. --------------------------------

It is terrible indeed, when after many thousands of ordinary people risked everything, many of them got killed in the process, but another gang of crooks and thieves comes to power and continues shameless "deriban" (pilfering the country's resources for personal enrichment).

"the protesters in Kiev set tires on fire to prevent an attack of the Berkut special forces"
And accidentally burned their own country down.

"Berkut" we had to work harder. Would put a hundred provocateurs. Would be calmer and de would be war in the Donbass. And the new President would have chosen in the spring. But now we have destroyed the country and the civil war. However, as the older generation of Russians they had always despised. It's time for the Russians to retaliate, and the West they are still trying to explain that I do not want war. Yes, and zombies call them. Sad. Is it just war?

The current situation is really sad. So many young men got killed on both sides, so many people lost everything, fled their homes, so many properties destroyed. Why? People in Russia, unfortunately, have different answer to this question than the rest of the world. I cannot understand why even those who have access to internet are willingly blocking all evidence that contradict their believes, planted in their minds by the Kremlin's propaganda machine. They just hail their Fuhrer and blame all others as fascists. So sad indeed.

Promotion is valid from both sides. From friends, those who left Ukraine we learn that the Russians there, not love long ago. And recent years, the promotion of Ukrainian authorities have erected this dislike Yes maximum. Therefore, even those Russians who do not perceive the Kremlin propaganda and want to understand all by yourself, learn more from our friends who came from the Ukraine, or talking to people on the Internet, listening to Western media only hear one "to blame the Russians. Russians are aggressors and our enemies". Our point of view on the problem no one in the West does not wish to listen. The fact that Ukraine intersect the vital interests of many countries and blame equally ready to understand a few. Much easier to blame the Russians. Many of the Russians are tired of this attitude from the West and they begin to support Putin, even if previously it was not supported.

But it was Putin who started this bloodshed!!!! No one ever threatened Russian speaking folks in Ukraine! Everything was quiet in Crimea, Donbass and Lugansk until the "green men" arrived from the East. How not to blame him? He sent in the provocateurs bu bus loads, hired mercenaries (Chechens, Cossacks and other scum), paid them, supplied them with weapons, ammunition, rockets (one of which shoot down the Malaysian passenger plane). The fascists are in Kremlin, not in Kiev. It is a great tragedy that this mad man managed to instill this hatred between the really brotherly peoples. Not any more, this animosity between Ukrainians and Russians will live in generations to come. The problem is not with the attitude of the West, but the actions of Mr. Putler. So sad ...

Not everything is so simple. Tense relations between Ukrainians and Russians in Ukraine appeared many years ago. Those who served in the Soviet army in parts of Western Ukraine, were told that their local disliked, who went there to work or relax said the same, and in 90 my relatives living in the Donbass, complained that their Russian-speaking children became impossible to learn - everywhere require only the Ukrainian language. The Ukrainian authorities refused to recognize the Russian language the second official language, a large number of Ukrainian citizens - ethnic Russians. This confrontation was matured for many years. And the issue of Crimea had to be solved in 90, when there was the collapse of the USSR. The Crimea was annexed to Ukraine artificially. Historically it belonged to the Russian Empire, the Crimea Russia fought several centuries. Crimea was and remains strategically important for Russia, especially when the US and NATO are building military bases near Russia. Be willing to have their bases near them normally. It is clear to all Russians. "Green men" were a surprise for us, ordinary citizens. As a patriot of his country, I approve of it, because you know - without Crimea Russia will lose all items in this region and will be defenseless against the West. But as a man, I do not approve of that Crimea is obtained by the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Although I am sure this war is waged not only by the efforts of Putin. Western politicians have to understand that forcing Russia into a corner, they will force Putin to hold the actin actions. Russia is seen only as the enemy, it is beneficial to the West. Padded Malaysian Boeing, because the Commission still has not set the final cause of his death. However, all confidently say blame the Russians. The point of view of the Russians about the disaster and about the war in the Donbass anyone except the Russians, not interesting. Dialogue does not work. It's sad. But it turns out that war is beneficial not only to Putin? Why the troops of Ukraine went to the Donbass, because its inhabitants did not initially wanted disconnected from the Ukraine, they wanted greater autonomy, federalism, as it is made in USA or Germany. And now there is a mountain of corpses and mutual hatred between Russians and Ukrainians. It's a sad and wrong.

That's true but there should be an other way than always to have to fight for human rights, isn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Apparently, there is no other way, however sad and unjust it might seem. And the saddest part of it is that the outcome is by no means certain. Mr Putler has big appetite, and what happens tomorrow is a big question mark.

In any case, I'll keep my fingers crossed that your wishes you all are fighting for will come true and the situation hopefully turns for the better, soon. Take good care!

Not in the worst nightmares could I ever imagine that his kind of events would come to life between Ukraine and Russia, and it is totally shocking how Putin's propaganda machine managed to block the mindset of the whole people! It is really disgusting that this war is supported by the majority of Russians. Very sad indeed...

Sure thing Putin destroyed Ukrainian economics for all 23 years. People in Odessa burned themself, Donbass's militia or Russian Air Forces (no matter) shot down the Boing so everybody now flies over Russia avoiding ukraine. And of course Russia invaded to ukraine 100500 times during last months but nobody can show any proves. "Totally destroyed" Russian units knows that they "were destroyed" via internet no one intercepted any radio-transmissions and nobody saw any Russian warplane over ukraine.
That's how it looks the whole country of madmen The whole 30-millions state of madmen which can't do anything beside jumping, digging holes near state border painting everything to blue-yellow and yelling: "Putin huilo!!!!"
You're zombie and don't understand it.

Zombies live in Russia, it is very sad that the great nation again (as in the 1930th!) is brainwashed by the state-controlled media to support a madman dictator! And they don't see the damage he does to their country, I am not even talking about the forever broken relations with their Ukrainian brothers. Open your eyes, read the internet instead of watching the state TV!

You destroyed your state grivna runs to zero and we're brainwashed. Go jumping it will help you to keep yourself warm in next few months. But I'm afraid you'll cry: "Slava ukraine!!" and blame Putin even when your own children will die from starvation and cold. Even your fucked "Бандера предет - порядок наведет" means a lot. You're so fucking irresponsible for your own country that ready to wait for a man who died tens years ago.
The problem that you fucked fascist destroyed infrastructure in Donbass when they finally get out of your asylum. And now we have to do restore it quickly. The food and the warm only for Russian people not foe ukrainian cattle. Go already in your EU no one keeps you. Really no one! For Russia and personally for Putin you're only headache. Fill European market with your production and have salaries about 10000 Euros. And leave alone these who doesn't want to Europe you'll just have more for yourself. The sad truth for you that for Russians you were just clowns 1 year ago and became fascist cattle only in May but for Europe you were cattle always.
Хохол останется хохлом,
Хоть ты пусти его в Европу,
Где надо действовать умом,
Он напрягает только жопу.
И потому-то на Руси
Завещано аж Мономахом:
«Связаться Боже упаси
С тремя — жидом, хохлом и ляхом!».
Коварен жид, хотя и слеп;
Кичливый лях — похуже бляди.
Хохол же съест с тобою хлеб —
И тут же в суп тебе нагадит.
Именно так вы и вели себя по отношению к России и русским все 23 года вашей сраной "независимости".
И не трогай 1930-ые.
