Russia and Ukraine

[Deesse23]

You're a lying piece of shit.  Putin and Lavrov have, multiple times, said they wanted all of ukraine, that ukranian people do not exist, and that they will kill every last fucking "nazi" in ukraine.

Indeed he is, and there is no shred of a doubt about it.

Already long before the Ukraine crisis, at an April 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest, Vladimir Putin reportedly claimed that “Ukraine is not even a state! What is Ukraine? A part of its territory is [in] Eastern Europe, but a[nother] part, a considerable one, was a gift from us!” In his March 18, 2014 speech marking the annexation of Crimea, Putin declared that Russians and Ukrainians “are one people. Kiev is the mother of Russian cities. Ancient Rus’ is our common source and we cannot live without each other.” Since then, Putin has repeated similar claims on many occasions. As recently as February 2020, he once again stated in an interview that Ukrainians and Russians “are one and the same people”, and he insinuated that Ukrainian national identity had emerged as a product of foreign interference. Similarly, Russia’s then-Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told a perplexed apparatchik in April 2016 that there has been “no state” in Ukraine, neither before nor after the 2014 crisis.

Essay from Putin himself

Hey Bel, tell us what this is codespeak for. Do you know what "Heim ins Reich" means in your native language (whichever that is)?

I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia......For we are one people.
