Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

[haxxiy]

And to think someone once tried to convince me Russia was progressing so slowly because they were 'gently' trying to occupy Ukraine... this is the Bosnian war redux, pure ethnic hatred at play here.

I don't know a lot about these things but Ukraine should try to lift the siege in Mariopol ASAP, you don't want a protracted war where Russia has something that might look like a feasible region to strategically occupy and defend in the long term (the Pryazovian land bridge between Crimea and Donbass).
