Let's look at Russia's history since 1991.
It keeps bringing war and hatred from Chechnya to the Balkans, from Moldova to Syria, from countries in Central Africa to Ukraine.

⚡ Zelenskyy: The Russians always blame others and always try to explain their wars through someone else’s actions. As if the reason for their aggression is never in Moscow but always in their neighbour's.

Ukraine will not legally or practically recognize Donbas as Russian, Zelensky. "Russia still wants Donbas, but Ukraine won’t cede it. The U.S. has floated a “free economic zone” compromise, but “free” doesn’t mean under Russian control. Talks on territory continue, and no consensus yet," he added.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Russian expansionism is unashamedly brash refusing to accept all responsibility of breaking treaties and international rule of law. They wish to re-invent the USSR without regard to rights of sovereign nations- merely interested in their own sphere of influence, aided and abetted by a compromised US
