Are you out of your mind to write such nonsense? For many centuries they wanted to destroy the Russian people. Russia remains and is a powerful state. Turks, Germans fought with Russians. Nothing happened.
Before you write such nasty things, think 10 times, lol!
Please tell me, a citizen of Ukraine, an ethnic Russian, this:
- what are the reasons for this “desire,” as you put it, “to destroy the Russian people”?
- How did Ukraine and the Ukrainians plan to do this for “decades”?
- provide historical facts confirming that Muscovy/Russia have always been friendly to the Ukrainian people?
- When and what legislative acts were adopted in Ukraine aimed at causing damage to Russia and the Russian people?
- Are there any incidents when Urkiana has already shown her “wild militaristic grin” and destroyed the inhabitants of Russia?
- Give the names of settlements that Ukrainians destroyed before 2014 on Russian territory?
- And I would also like to hear arguments in favor of your fantasy “Russia remains and is a powerful state.” just indicate the criteria and numerical indicators of Russia that would speak of greatness and strength?
And back to the topic.
The problem is that these events cannot be assessed as a Russian-Ukrainian war. This is not a war between Russia and Ukraine, it is a war between civilization and state terrorism. Between development and degradation. Between a developed community and the wild Middle Ages. Between human values and inhumanity. Between legality and lawlessness... Russia decided, after 2008 and 2014, that it could rebuild the world, return the USSR, and commit lawlessness with impunity. They absolutely openly discussed the topic of 2 or 3 weeks for the complete occupation of Ukraine, and about the cowardice of the West and NATO. But Ukraine and Ukrainians turned out to be too tough for them! And then they fought back, defeating the hordes of these terrorists in the Kyiv, Kharkov, and Kherson regions. After which Russia decided to take a different path - destabilizing the countries that help Ukraine. And away we go - a gas cutoff in the EU, attempts to sabotage the oil market... When this did not work, attempts at “distracting maneuvers” began - as instigation of new regional conflicts. The first “swallows” were military coups in several African countries, at the hands of the Wagner PMC. That they didn’t even really hide it. The goal is to destroy plans to launch gas supplies from Nigeria to Morocco through the trans-Saharan gas pipeline (I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the project). No, the coup didn’t work out in Nigeria, but they happened “along the way” of the gas pipeline, and it’s clear that no one will invest in such a project.
Then the fire of war in the Middle East was lit - the Hamas attack on Israel. No, I will not say that this is exclusively a Kremlin project. This is a project of the Kremlin and its “fellow terrorist” Iran. Iran was pursuing its long-standing dream of “destroying Israel.” And Russia, pushing Iran and Hamas, hoped that Israel and neighboring countries in the region would be drawn into a global war in the Middle East, which would explode the oil market and make, for example, the United States unable to finance defense assistance for both countries. And then everything didn’t go according to plan. Funding, military consultants, weapons and intelligence data provided by Russia did not help. Now carefully watch North and South Korea, there the “obedient dog” of the Kremlin is ready to start a new regional war against South Korea, which will also lead to escalation in the region, and for one thing it will require the US, Britain, and the EU to also divide aid into another a country suffering from aggression.
This is all there is to it - now we are witnessing a GLOBAL terrorist and economic war of a group of rogue countries against the civilized world. And I will assume that the Korean “conflict” will not be the last. The Baltic countries, Finland, and Poland are at risk. REPEATED coup attempts are also possible in the republics that used to be Yugoslavia.
Therefore, the answer to the question of the topic is that the impact is very serious, the consequences are very serious, and very unpopular decisions will have to be made. Otherwise, this will all develop into a global nightmare.
I saw with my own eyes what was done to the “Russian world” in the Kharkov region, I personally saw Irpen and Bucha... I live in Kyiv, and I know what targeted attacks on RESIDENTIAL areas with ballistic missiles are. I know their goals - the destruction of everything and everyone who does not agree to obey and become their slaves or marinettes, or take their side and destroy other countries.
PS sorry for being too emotional, but this is very difficult to perceive and convey “calmly”...
