@battleforeurope@T_Krawchenko So why did Russia sabotaged a deal that could had allowed Yanu to remain in power? Also, didn't yanu just ran away carrying crates of money and refuses to return back to Ukraine despite the rada asking him to come back?
"How Putin really started the war with Ukraine"
Despite the fact that I am a Russian-speaking Ukrainian from birth, it is very difficult for me, after what Putin’s Russia has done, to publish something that was done specifically by Russians.
But this material from the @wwwproektmedia team is worth being included in the exception.
@doctoradmiral This should had proven that colour revolution theory was dumb and putin was delusional to think that the government under yanu was going to betray him.
We were stuck in Chasiv Yar. And we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive.
They dropped us off just outside the city. It was supposed to be a quick mission — a few days to reinforce the line and pull back. But the moment we entered, everything changed.
Russian artillery started pounding the area non-stop.
Every minute.
Shells landed so close that the ground shook like an earthquake.
The air was full of dust and smoke. We couldn’t breathe.
We couldn’t even hear each other over the explosions.
We found shelter in the basement of a destroyed building.
No power. No light.
Just darkness and the smell of mold, blood, and burnt concrete.
We were 12 soldiers.
After a week — 9.
By the second week — 6.
There was no way out.
Every road was being watched by drones or shelled by artillery.
We tried to evacuate a wounded brother once.
They spotted us.
He bled out while we were crawling through rubble with him on a tarp.
We had no food left.
We split a single protein bar between three people.
We collected rainwater in broken helmets.
One guy was injured and infected. His leg turned purple. We couldn’t help him.
We just held his hand and prayed.
Some nights we didn’t speak at all.
Just sat there, listening to the distant echoes of tank fire.
Some guys stared at the wall for hours, like they were already gone.
And then — silence.
No shelling. No drones.
We thought it was over.
It wasn’t.
They started clearing houses. Room by room.
We heard screaming. Gunshots.
One of ours pulled the pin on a grenade and waited behind the door.
He didn’t let them take him.
When help finally arrived, we didn’t even believe it was real.
We crawled out, one by one.
Like ghosts.
Only 4 of us made it.
I still dream of that basement.
Of the smell. Of the silence before the scream.
Of the faces we left behind.
This is the war we’re living.
It’s not a movie. It’s not a headline.
It’s real.
And right now, other soldiers are trapped just like we were.
They need gear. Drones. Vehicles. Food.
They need you.
Even $1 helps.

@TheRealRudds@SvkTommy@Cimp29@Heroiam_Slava All of the points made in your source kinda ignore a lot of the context after the collapse of the Soviet Union. And a lot of them rely on private discussions and several opinion shared between foreign ministers and head of states.

@TheRealRudds@SvkTommy@Cimp29@Heroiam_Slava The real picture actually lies on why Gorbachev didn't push for an explicit agreement instead of relying on verbal assurances. It's because the Soviet Union needed massive amount of aid and monetary funds to reform the Soviet economy.
@TheRealRudds@SvkTommy@Cimp29@Heroiam_Slava Bruh, this source again.
A lot of these documents are more of an impression than an actual agreement, because its mostly implicit and lack any follow up. Moreover, Baker and the German foreign minister actually overdo themselves with what's on the table.
11 April 2014. Yatseniuk & his entire cabinet head to Donetsk to negotiate with local elites as standoffs ensue throughout the east. Yatseniuk announces concessions to *all* separatist demands, including referendums.
One day before Girkin's outfit seizes Sloviansk.
@yola52132 Oh wait I forgot, Russia definitely didn't sent Russian ultranationalists, Neo Nazis and the National Bolshevisks to the separatist side.

@DKremlya@yola52132 Cool, now post the Neo Nazis fighting for the separatists, or the Russian Neo Nazis that purposely spark riots in Odesa back in 2014.
@SullivanStar221 @cpscott16 Look up how many separatists leaders were either Neo Nazis, Russian ultranationalists, or National Bolsheviks. Afterall, I don't see one Ukrainian far right party getting elected in the government or the army was full of them. So your point is?
