Stupid arguments. I wonder why CNN is posting so manipulative explanation?
Does Russia really think thad someone would come with some army over that plane and invade it? And does Putin really think that borders should return to the status of 100years ago? Or 1000 years ago? Where is the limit?
BOLSEVIKS PROPAGANDA
This war have nothing to do with Russia or Otan, it's about Israel and the continuation of Rothschild colonialism. Without this conflict, all Russia resources would be support Palestine and against the nazi state of Israel.
There's way more involved than a "patch of flat land" and Putin's fear that NATO would invade Russia. NATO was never an issue with Putin, as he knows the Alliance (NATO) was only going to act defensively, never offensively. Putin was simply greedy for land and resources, plus his demented idea that Russia "has no borders" were the real reasons he decided to invade the sovereign nation of Ukraine. This is what got him and Russia into deep s***, as Ukraine had had enough of Putin and Russia, and was willing to fight rather than just give Putin what he demanded. Putin's decision to invade Ukraine will be his end.
Omg, what a non-sense. Listen to Timothy Snyder history of Ukraine – it’s free and available on youtube. After 3 years one could have found some time to finally look into a subject of this imperial war of aggression and realize, that obediently retranslating russian narrative is not a journalism, but rather ignorance
And what about Finland and Sweden joining NATO?
That's why it is important to hear every member involved in a conflict. He depicts history as Russia is invading while by the contrary NATO has always being in the offense…. he manipulates the facts.
Map and resources don't explain wars. Russia is invading Ukraine because Ukraine became a democracy. Democracy grow during peace time, much faster than Russia. Russia is trying to squash Ukraine while it still could.
The billionaires are trying to destroy democracy just like Russia to stay in power, they want to kill technological development and stop having to invest in R&D and pay the employees a lot of money.
NATO is clearly the aggressor here and the Neo Nazi Ukrainians were killing many Russian speaking Ukranians. This civil war has been going on since 2014 when the CIA assisted in overthrowing the legitimate Yanikovich government because he did not want to join NATO and the EU. All this information can and has been evidenced.

There were no civil war in Donbass, it was first wave of occupation.
IF the US really wanted to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, the US would break up with NATO forever. In 1991, when the USSR collapsed, the Russians dissolved the Warsaw Pact. However, NATO wasn't dissolved. It was the opposite. NATO grew in power, in territorial extension and in the number of allied countries. (And NOT precisely "Allied Countries", but rather "Countries Subordinate to the will of the US", which is the correct name). In this war Mr. Putin is DEFENDING his Homeland. Mr. Putin is fighting today against only ONE Country (Ukraine), cuz if he doesn't fight Ukraine today, then tomorrow he will have to fight against 30 countries that make up NATO. At the end of WWII, NATO had 8 allied countries. During the height of the Cold War, NATO already had 14 countries in total. Today, when the USSR and Communism no longer exists, there are 30. Just in case we all forgot. Mr. Zelensky was a television Comedian who won the Presidency of Ukraine thanks to Mr. Petro Poroshenko (this one of great academic and political merit), who was ridiculed for the Parodies that Mr. Zelensky made on TV. And why didn't Mr. Poroshenko stop these taunts and slanders against him? Answer: Cuz Mr. Poroshenko did not want to "Affect" the Freedom of Expression in Ukraine, and cuz Mr. Poroshenko never thought that a Comedian without experience and without political stature (without political or physical stature), could beat him in a vote. Well… Already as President, Mr. Zelensky dazzled him by the proposals of the International Monetary Fund (Headquarters in Washington, DC), in which he would be filled with money if he agreed to join NATO, it was easy for him to challenge the power of Russia. Okay: What does Mr. Putin want? Answer: Russia cannot allow a NATO Military Base on its immediate border. What does the United States want? Answer: The US has almost 800 Military Bases spread all over the world, and they need another 800 more Bases, to subsume Russia. That is what the US wants: Subsume Russia. But… BUT, the US will not enter a war to defend Mr. Zelensky, cuz China would side with Russia. End of history and possibly end of the United States. Governing a country is serious business. A country cannot be Governed by a TV Comedian. Finally, for the US the issue of its National Security is something non-negotiable. (The Pentagon is PARANOID on this point). However, this same Right to Defend Itself, US is denied to Russia and it is also denied to all the countries of the world. No one in the world can pose a threat to the US, but in reality, the US is a real threat to everyone. Now, please read the words of Mr. Vladimir Putin: “Russia has always advocated for the creation of a system of equal and indivisible Security. A system that is vital for the entire world community. In December last year (in 2019), we proposed to conclude an agreement on Security Guarantees. Russia called on the West to an honest dialogue to search for reasonable compromise solutions. To take into account each other's interests (US-Europe/Russia). All in vain. The NATO/US countries did NOT want to hear us, which means that in fact they had completely different plans from the beginning… And we saw it”. (In fact, in September 1990, the US and Russia guaranteed Ukraine's security as "Payment" for Ukraine giving up the world's "Third Largest Nuclear Arsenal". Does anyone remember this agreement between Yeltsin and George H. W. Bush? What we are seeing today in Ukraine is the "Most Expensive Circus in the World", with the performance of the "Worst Western Clowns in History". The US Gov’t has Violated all the treaties it has signed… ALL! Since the Wars with the Native Nations of America!).
Russian culture in the Ukraine, Kiev? Give me a break!!!
The culture of the US began in London. It moved westwards but it's still in their immagination. The root of their culture is in the heart of England. England is a part of mother America.
Russia does not have a single people, but dozens of other subjugated peoples. and mixed. only their language is Slavic, but their DNA is mixed, they are the former masters of the steppe who were gradually mixed. then the current Russia did not have its capital in Kiev but in Novgorod! Kievan Rus' was a different state entity than the one from Novgorod!
The only ones who can be called Slavs are Belarusians, Ukrainians are mixed with Cumans, Tatars, Mpngolis, Cossacks, and Russians (improperly called Russians) are 85% non-Slavic Asians!!!
This is try to excuse of invading independent country based on what has happened thousands of years ago. It is just stupidity. The real reason is lowest rating of popularity of Mr. Putin just before the war and his wish to gain his popularity. That is it.
НАТО не долго просуществует, как и ЕС. Будете потом шутить все свои шуточки живя в фильме "Дитя человеческое".
