Earlier post from Roman :

When did russia begin its aggression?

People who don’t know the history are easily susceptible to propaganda. They will believe that russia attacked Ukraine because of “NATO’s expansion” or the Revolution of Dignity. But these arguments simply don’t stand a history test.

Remember the “special military operations” in Transnistria, part of Moldova in 1992, and Abkhazia and South Ossetia, parts of Georgia, in 1993, then again Georgia in 2008, then Crimea in 2014.

So it was never about the “NATO expansion” such as some paid propagandists and gullible Westerners blabber about, but about reconstituting the Russian Empire, since practically the day its latest iteration, the Soviet Union, fell. Until Russian neo-imperialism and colonialism is soundly defeated, we will contend with it every few years.

Anyone who says that NATO provoked russia to attack Ukraine is either stupid, brainwashed or simply doesn’t know the history.

Until 2013, only about 20-30% of Ukrainians (depending on the poll) were in favor of joining NATO. After the annexation of Crimea, that number went up to more than 50%. And now, after the full scale invasion, close to 90% of Ukrainians say that they want Ukraine to join NATO.

Also, it was russian aggression that forced Sweden and Finland to join NATO. It is russian aggression that has prompted other countries to join NATO not “NATO’s expansion” forcing russia to attack the neighboring countries.

Even the infamous interview of propagandist Tucker Carlson with Putin showed that russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 had nothing to do with NATO. It had all to do with Putin’s obsession with the breakup of Kyivan Rus in the 12th century and USSR in the 20th century. He can’t accept that Ukrainians are a nation, thus he wants to erase Ukraine from existence.

Another earlier post :

How do Ukrainians feel about “negotiating” with russia?

Only 22% of Ukrainians agree with the freezing of the war.

Only 16% of Ukrainian soldiers agree with the freezing of the war.

Only 18% of Ukrainians would agree to give up EU membership if it could stop the war.
