But again. No evidence or source for your fever dreams.

LNA writes: The corruption is almost off topic. This is boring, typical stuff.
Off topic? He was in Putin's pocket, and horrendously corrupt. The killing of protestors was another issue:
quote:
Ukrainian security officials say the killings of protesters in Kyiv in February occurred "under the direct leadership" of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, and accused Russian security services of involvement in the repression.
Investigators Say Yanukovych Gave 'Criminal Order' To Kill Protesters
You go on and on about Ukrainian citizens being killed.
The election issues do not concern his win.
It concerns various local events, and he is accused of not doing enough to stop it. You are quite right. I removed that part of the post before I realized you replied. My apologies.
Any claims that he was trying to inflame a delicate society is probably propaganda. What are you on about? Yanukovych was as corrupt as they come, and in Putin's pocket. He even fled there when he was ousted. This is the setting for what we have today. Russia lost their influence in Ukraine, so now they are invading. It is as simple as that.

Re: Mayor Volodymyr Struk
LNA writes: Mayor Volodymyr Struk He was convicted outside of the courts by a "people's tribunal" for treason after the invasion by Russia had already begun. He was accused of working with Russia to help support the Russian invasion. Should Struk have been brought before an actual court and tried? Absolutely. Is such action during a hot war too surprising? No. If you are being invaded by a hostile foreign power and one of your citizens is actively helping with that invasion, well . . . There is little doubt he was a traitor to his country. More importantly, Struk was executed AFTER the invasion, so it couldn't have been a justification for the invasion.

Re: Mayor Volodymyr Struk
How is Struk relevant to the post I responded to? Are you able to keep your arguments organized?

Re: Foreign Affairs (first 15% of artcile)
The issue of who shot at the protestors,in 2014, is admitted by even current President Zelinski, to be unresolved. The corruption issue is nothing that distinguishes one Ukrainian President from another. Yanukovych was elected as a pragmatist who wanted to bridge the gap between Europe and Russia. He wanted support from Ukrainians who fought on both sides of World War 2. The 2010 local events were in the context of his pragmatic party enjoying record popularity. He was not trying to inflame and divide the society. Just use common sense

Re: Mayor Volodymyr Struk
Struk did not do anything BEFORE the invasion. He was accused of not fighting for Ukraine, and welcoming Russians as liberators. The geopolitical situation changed hands. He did nothing violent, did he? He was a politician. He had views. He was killed for his views.

How does any of this justify Russia invading Ukraine? Russia already took Crimea from Ukraine after it lost influence in Ukraine with the ousting of Yanukovych. In 2022, Russia tried to take the whole of Ukraine. Now you think Ukraine should take a "deal" where they give up yet another chunk of their country? They already did that with Crimea. Russia isn't going to stop until they control all of Ukraine. And they don't want to stop with Ukraine.

Re: Mayor Volodymyr Struk
Struk did not do anything BEFORE the invasion. Would you agree that since Struk was executed after the Russian invasion started that his execution could not have been a justification for the invasion?

Re: Foreign Affairs (first 15% of artcile)
I will give a longer response. Later. My biggest gripe with you is that you seem to feel that the available evidence indicates that Russia wants to take-over Ukraine. I feel like I am going to have to consider you a brain-washed American. I doubt even 2 percent of the educated people in, say, India would think you have a good grasp of what is going on. The evidence is, indeed, that 90 percent of Americans and 55 percent of Brits believe Russia is trying to take over Ukraine. But, it is a fact of the existence of ignorance and propaganda, and people being duped into believing it.

Re: Foreign Affairs (first 15% of artcile)
What country are you from that is so enlghtened? Why did they invade if they did not want take over the country? Why does Putin not agree with you?
