Ukraine has no future viability as a “free state”, it never did. It was always doomed to end up a proxy puppet of imperialists if it decided to become the anti-Russia. Separated from Russia it is just as unviable as an independent state as those three jokes in the Baltic. Nobody wants or needs an independent Ukraine now anymore, and prior to 2022 only the Russians in their naivety still believed in the fairy tale of an independent Ukraine. The West has always only ever wanted to subjugate Ukraine as an anti-Russia bridgehead, ever since the days of the Kaiser (and the Anglo dogs have wanted it even longer, since the first Crimean war).
Exactly, everybody knows this, but the west loves doing posturing about freedoms. I basically read that article as saying that Ukraine has no future as a viable state period.
so you’re saying there’s still some brave freedom fighters left
