Ukraine's "leadership" does not care about its own people.

Not surprising in what has long been Europe's most corrupt country, and one which fell from high human development index levels in the Soviet era, to basically third world standards in this decade.

To illustrate the scale and scope of neglect, consider that the wave of Ukranian immigrants which swept across Europe the past couple of years....also took with it a wave of tuberculosis and viral pneumonia across Europe.

But of course it was forbidden in the mainstream media to poont out this causality. Because that would induce questions. Like why does a country that has such poor basic health conditions, accept from the US, "help" to not solve this but instead operate bioweapons labs near the Russian border.

But more to the point: Ukraine's mis-leadership has for a half decade before 2022, been slaughtering citizens in the breakaway oblasts and even shelling them. They didt care about those people - just the land and minerals and physical assets. THAT is why those people choose to leave.

And the so called west does not care about those people either. They oversaw the slaughter at Maidan and ever since. These are ghouls.

Zelensky is planning a "big israel" for jews only so he outlawed Christianity and is sending christians to the front lines to get killed by Russians. The Atlantic council and other have been reporting on this "big israel" scam since 2022 and there are already jews-only zones compete with checkpoints and guards checking jew cards

Who not what is Ukraine fighting for is a better question. They are fighting for the US deep state of fossil fuels and arms who wish to weaken Russia and maintain global hegemony. It's going really well. They've now got the UK and EU buying US weapons for them, meaning the US isn't even spending that much on their own proxy war and may soon by turning a profit. A double whammy.

It's own demise. Just like the cadets of the polish military academy charges German panzers on horseback with lances.

Yes - and I actually met one of them way back in Australia in 1978 or so - way past retirement aga, he was working as a porter for a small grocers in a small town. Brave man - but he had long ago moved on.

Il faut en effet considérer que la partie russe de l'Ukraine est culturellement trop différente pout permettre une cohabitation. De surcroît les territoires russophones du Dombass sont juridiquement indépendants par l'article 4 des accords de Minsk II (jamais invalidés juridiquement) suivis comme prévu par un référendum.

Pity that this article is behind a paywall, but this is an interesting point…..

Indeed, from the perspective of the ethno-nationalist project pursued by the post-2014 Ukrainian state, the country’s interests would have been better served by simply cutting loose the pro-Russian regions. So how should one account for Ukraine’s seemingly suicidal strategy over the past three — or indeed 11 — years?

I have no idea why anyone is willing to die or risk loss of limbs for the sake of a sunflower field that is by now owned by Bill Gates, or a coal mine owned by China. More fools they.

On the other hand, we all want to see Putins thugs and rapists crushed to pulp - and with some good reason.
