People forget it was still a russian puppet pre-2014. Rooting out corruption takes a loooong time.

Pretty ironicaly, so called "Russian puppet" Yanukovych is literally the last Ukrainian president who was democraticaly elected by population of entire Ukraine (meaning within its 1991 borders).

Lol "coup" more like a peaceful people's revolution to take back control for the people of Ukraine away from puppets beholden to Fascist Russia.

“As Ukraine’s struggle against Russia and its proxies continues,”

Some Reuters reporter’s interpretation of the war proves nothing.

Why is it whenever you tankie clowns post this crap it’s always rags like truthout.org and never wikipedia??

Also, the majority of news articles I posted in my “gish gallop” is from a mainstream corporate outlet, so you’ve clowned yourself.
