| Russian state media in another form on 07:51 - Mar 1 by trampie | The Russian position seems to be Crimea should never have been given away in the past, Donbas majority ethnic Russian-Russian speakers (accusations of them being mistreated), Ukraine democratically elected leader/Government overthrown by Western backed agitators, Neo Nazis now in place who want Ukraine in NATO, Russia don't want NATO in Ukraine when they think some of Ukraine is or should belong to Russia anyway, Russia surrounded by NATO missiles on their doorstep as it is without the possibility of Ukraine having NATO missiles there, deep mistrust of the West, fear of Western aggression, US/UK illegal war in Iraq etc as they see it, West doing what it likes and not recognising International law when Russia have been up until now but felt they had to act. It nowhere near legitimises a full scale invasion and war as far as I'm concerned, considering international law nobody said anything about Crimea, no great fuss as if to say they had a case, the Donbas might have had a case for independence but all this invading bona fide Ukraine is morally and legally indefensible as far as I'm concerned. |
They were not Given away USSR collapsed and areas and countries regained their freedom and regained sovereign status. Clearly some overlap with people speaking both Russian and other languages and of course migration of people within the old USSR. |  |

The Crimea was a gift from Soviet Russia to Soviet Ukraine in 1954, nothing to do with the break up of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine was given away decades and decades earlier as what is often described as a gift. They shouldn't have given it away, Putin reckons it was illegal as there was not enough of them to form a quorum (13 out of 27 apparently). [Post edited 1 Mar 2022 9:04]

Hardly a gift passing crimea from administration from one soviet Republic to another soviet Republic just a practical one as Crimea had no land links to Russia. Certainly not an excuse for invading a sovereign state protected by the UNITED NATIONS CHARTER which of course USSR signed and the new Russia is a member of. |  |

It was a big mistake giving Crimea away, my thoughts are they must have thought Ukraine would always come under Russia's influence, the Soviet Union not collapsing till decades and decades later. |  |

It was a big mistake the Welsh people voting for devolution but these things happen and in a democracy we accept the result and try to make it work. That of course does not happen in Russia. |  |

Apparently it wasn't a quorum so some would say not valid. |  |

He is not a sex offender, it takes a special kind of mug to believe that horseshit. |  |

Fear of Ukraine joining NATO and the EU yes. Accusations of mistreatment is a lie spread to try and justify his actions. There are not Neo Nazi's running the Ukraine government, Zelenskyy is Jewish. Russia surrounded by NATO missiles? Given how missiles work being surrounded by things which will destroy the whole world is not such a great reason, specially when you have a large amount of them yourself. The West not recognising international law when Russia has up to now....unbelievable. You must be heavily into wummery there. Salisbury, illegal incursions into Georgia, Crimea and Eastern Ukraine even before the invasion. I've told you before, everything you say the USA does, Russia does too. Other governments also do it. They are all devious, underhand, greedy, selfish. https://theconversation.com/ru |  |

You're wasting your time with him Cat. Tramp has a uniqueluy perverse take on history preferring to support the aims of IRA who killed our own people.Welsh included. Every day we see naked hatred towards anyone seen as "right" wing or English wo seem to be a nation he detests with real venom,no matter how much he denies it.Evidence is on this forum for all to see. Im not a weepy sort of person but Ukraine has driven me to tears watching kids getting slaughtered and for why; Putin thinks they are Nazis/right wing. We face possible armageddon and we still bitch like valley village idiots with small minds. |  |

I don't support the IRA, I'm not Irish, I'm not Catholic. No hatred of the right wing just criticism, no hatred of the English just sporting rivalry. And Putin is no Communist the Communists stand against him, he is a crony capitalist like many leaders and parties in the West when it comes to economics. |  |

Putin is not a capitalist he is criminal dictator who does not believe any laws apply to him. He is violating international law by invading a sovereign nation. He is also war criminal as he deliberately targeting civilian targets which comes as no surprise after the Russian genocide in Syria. |  |
