    So, you believe that Ukraine should just give up and allow Russia to take whatever they want?

    The situation is more complex than you'll get from the media. Separatists in Donbas, an area with cultural ties to Russia, rose up after the old government was overthrown and the new government banned political parties and shut them out of the political process, and Ukraine signed a ceasefire which it then broke by shelling civilian targets. Even if Russia withdrew, it's not clear that the fighting would cease.

    In any case, Ukraine has been refusing to consider any concessions at all, which is just unrealistic at this point. They'll either cede territory now or they'll cede it in 5 years with a lot more dead bodies.

    Also, forgive me because I think I'm misunderstanding the theme of this instance. Isn't this an instance for right-wing, conservative, Republican discussions, or is it something else?

    Lol no we're like actual communists here trans-hammer-sickle
