Thank you Vladimir!
Especially as the Russian Russians seem mostly to be attacking cities where most of the people are Russian-speaking Ukrainians (whether or not sympathetic to Putin). If Putin wins I doubt they'd be getting cities rebuilt as quickly as they would with "western" aid.

Commonly known as jumping to a conclusion.
Similar situations have arisen before. For example, Britain, full of bookmakers, cynically used the gambling fraternity of Monaco to bleed France dry; mafia ridden Italy brought South Wales to its knees with pistachio ice cream, Spain poisoned Britain by exporting patatas bravas. Complete pimenton riddled bastards. When will they ever learn?

The separatist presence in Donbas wasn't invited, it wasn't called upon, there was never any legitimate right for Russia to enter and annex Crimea or now Donbas.
What you're saying and almost agreeing with (?) is equivalent to Scotland *maybe* wanting to leave the UK and join the EU, so the result is the EU sends the tanks over into Scotland.... It is the absolute right of the UK however to fight that invasion which is what Ukraine is doing. Why doesn't Russia withdraw and allow the democratic process to take place?
Any majority in these regions is of total irrelevance just as it is in Scotland and just as it is in Catalonia and other places. It's for Ukraine to resolve that conflict internally as a state and not Russia.
The only thing that is relevant is the Ukraine people voted in their current president, he wants them to join the EU, he wants them to join NATO. It's not the west's problem that this goes in the face of Russian foreign policy.

Yesterday’s summary of the situation
Russia brining in reserve forces from aboard to replenish losses but are likely to face even more challenges with being supplied
Russian forces mounted several unsuccessful attacks northwest of Kyiv
Ukrainian forces halted Russian advances north of Kherson and reported that Russian command “refused” to deploy elements of the 5th Combined Arms Army (CAA) to the Kyiv advance “due to heavy losses in the south.” Unclear if this is from intercepted radio transmissions or an interpretation but is very significant if the case.
Ukrainian forces repelled several Russian assaults on Rubizne, Severodonetsk, and Lysychansk on March 15-16The Ukrainian General Staff reported inflicting heavy casualties on Russian forces
Ukraine bolster defence of Kyiv with experienced general taking control of joint (military and volunteer) units.

In short Putin is getting his fucking short arse handed to him. He might even lose his “gains” in Georgia and elsewhere as they lose their forces being redeployed trying to prosecute this unjust war in Ukraine. The earlier post about something happen in Belarus is interesting. He and his cronies must all now be thinking I wish we just spent the rest of our days getting richer by raping Russia like we’ve done for the last 20 years.

Russian forces face mounting difficulties replacing combat losses in Ukraine, including the possible death of the commander of the 150th Motor Rifle Division near Mariupol. Russian efforts to deploy forces from Armenia, its proxy states in Georgia, and

I read that Medvedev is taking his turn to win the Russian Billy big bollocks award.
