Russian President Vladimir Putin is very familiar with Adolf Hitler’s book, and he simply repeats his actions according to this book.
Ukraine’s Chargé d’Affaires in Armenia Denys Avtonomov said this at a briefing on Wednesday, February 23, Ukrinform reports.
“He worked in the GDR, in the KGB residency. I think that he is by definition very familiar with the works of Adolf Hitler’s ‘My Struggle.’ One of the key messages of this book is that Austria is not a state, and the nation cannot be divided. In other words, there’s just a repetition: ‘Ukraine is not a state. The nation cannot be divided’,” the diplomat said.
According to Avtonomov, first the Russian leader “bites a piece where he can” and then starts a big war: “Again, Munich, the Anschluss of Austria, the Sudetenland – Ukraine, Transnistria, Abkhazia, Ossetia.”
On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of puppet entities “LPR” and “DPR.”
On February 22, at a press conference in the Kremlin, Putin said that Russia was recognizing “DPR” and “LPR” within the borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Russia’s decision to recognize self-proclaimed “republics” in the temporarily occupied territories of eastern Ukraine has provoked a backlash from world leaders, organizations and countries. Their statements say that the recognition of illegal entities in the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions is a violation of international law, a gross violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

This article is tricky. Ukraine must keep the option to surrender Crimea and DLPRs to RuSSia in case the army gets crushed quickly. A smaller ukrainian state is still a state. Ask Israel if you don’t understand. Ukraine must survive as the home of ukrainians (all ethnic groups).
Ukrainians will never go back under the RuSSia. Ukrainians had the revolution of dignity and they are sustaining it. We should not forget recent polls that said 2/3 of Ukrainians are willing to take up arms and fight. Slava Ukraini!
No concessions whatsoever. I think Putin whines so much about Crimea not being recognised, because he needs those iddy biddy sanctions lifted. All the more reason to invoke catastrophic sanctions now, before any more Ukrainians are murdered.
Another chink in his armor is that he knows what he did in Crimea is illegitimate. Otherwise he wouldn’t need confirmation from the enemy.
Putin’s “Marry me or die” foreign policy will not succeed. Indeed it will be the end of Putin’s Russia. Its just a matter of time before the oligarchs get tired of being quiet and restricted and lose money.
If the US sanction the Russian central bank, all that reserve fund they have, mostly in dollars will be nothing more than toilet paper. That’s why they need to cripple Russia now, not send them a slap on the wrist.
The Kremlin considers sanctions an act of war so the West should just consider themselves at war with Putin because he does. I agree with you, go ahead with max sanctions and let Putin know that if they don’t work the next step is to push him back into his own territory with the armies from allies.
Ukraine again suffered a cyberattack today, is that not a declaration of war?
When will they strike back?
If the West can’t respond with their own devastating cyber attacks, then we are screwed.
I’m sure we have the capability, it seems that we have no will. I don’t know which is worse…
Absolutely. Russia has been at war on Ukraine for 8 years and still haven’t even declared war.
The rat is seriously ill, and I don’t only mean his mental condition.
Mentally unbalanced I would say. You would hope that Russia had some sane people to advise Putler, but it looks like they all have the same mental illness.
It was the same with Hitler in the later stages of war. The meek sane ones were simply too afraid to tell him the truth and the brave sane ones were disregarded and ranted against. In either case, saneness had no chance. Their soldiers had to pay the heaviest price for this idiocy.
