      Ukraine gained its independence in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR. On December 1, 1991, 92% of Ukrainians who participated in a national referendum voted for independence. In every region of the country, including Crimea, a majority supported separation.
      According to the U.S. State Department, Ukraine has the right and opportunity to reclaim the territories currently occupied by Russia and restore its internationally recognized borders that it had when it became independent in 1991. This is a complex and sensitive issue that involves many international actors. It is important to note that any resolution must be consistent with international law and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries involved.

      Actually the referendum was phased as 'do you agree with the Rada decision to declare independence' and at any rate in 1994 Donetsk and Lugansk held referenda declaring autonomy from Kiev.

    "Diminishing quality of troops" - those people are not meat, and everyone sees them as they have duty to fight for what EU and NATO tell them to - I'm sure that even Russians feel more sorry for all the Ukrainian lives lost than their "backers".
    A whole nation has been plunged into a mindless war they can only die in and victory is just a pipe dream. Ukrainians are a beautiful and talented people, more so than in most other European countries and yet they have made themselves disposable beyond belief. The Russians would never do that, and in this very difference lies the Ukrainian tragedy we're all watching day by day.

    The US has never rebuilt any country that they destroyed.Russia fought with Chechnya and after the war they rebuilt Chechnya today the Chechens are allies of the Russians.All over the Donbass even before the war is over the Russians are already rebuilding.There was a time when being in the west meant you had a better lifestyle than someone in Russia,today Russia by PPP has the largest economy in Europe,so even if Ukraine became an ally of Russia they would have a better lifestyle than most countries in Europe.
