Thanks much for taking the time to gather this info and post it!

There is no civil war in Ukraine. The conflict takes place exclusively in the locality Gre present Russian military personnel.I dunno man, both the past and current Ukrainian government have been so full of ****, I find it hard to believe anything they say. It doesn't help that there is a lot of footage of Ukrainian soldiers with Nazi symbols on their uniforms either.
Besides this whole **** storm that kicked off was a CIA op, it just looks like Venezuela all over again, only this time, the scheme succeeded save for a few regions, which resulted in civil war.
Either way NATO's agenda has succeeded, Russia is down one friend / puppet nation and Ukraine is such a train wreck that its new politicians will gladly sell it off.
Every country who brings a civil war onto itself by letting foreign entities start a color revolution should deal with their own ****.
Ukraine should not have been anyone's bitch yet it let itself bought and thorn apart over the years with dollars and rubles for the delusional idea of being part of the EU and at-least NATO.
By thinking a foreign entity would fix the issues in the country, Ukraine let itself become a forgotten backwater black hole in the world and financially ruined.
If I've learned anything from the after effects of that war in Yugoslavia, it is that 1. Both the USA and Russia had messed with them, for example that Tito guy was a Russian double, he had gone to Russia with only 9 intact fingers and returned with 10 intact fingers, then is mother died shortly after denying he was her son and all his many brothers and sisters vanished. Of-course with the political situation at the time no one said a thing. Meanwhile former CIA operatives have since come forth admitting they had gone to Yugoslavia to destabilize the country and were largely responsible for its civil war 2. the first thing after it was over was foreign companies buying up all the resources they could (mines n stuff) for a low price and driving near slave labor wages and exerting control over the newly formed countries.
But of course all people believe that what happens elsewhere will never happen to them, and that such talk is just a bunch of conspiracy theories, so no one in Ukraine ever saw it coming, or if they did, simply ensured they'd profit from it. Do you really think anyone on their fat lazy ass in this world that is not directly connected to the Ukraine truly cares about what the Ukrainian people are going through? Did anyone ever care about the middle eastern conflicts? No foreign entity ever does. the only people who show an interest in Ukraine are those who look to profit. Anyone on the internet who agrees with you either simply hates one side or the other, or is just a nice as hell person who think it sucks people have to experience such ****.
The whole thing is geopolitics to the core and your country and its people simply got played. Hell, I bet even I could now buy up a couple of hectare for the price of a cheap car in those parts of the Ukraine right now. It's not like any war lasts forever, and the earlier you buy the less people ask for it. Besides, look at the former Yugoslavian countries and Georgia, most of them are dirt poor, the people are hungry and everyone is still migrating from there in hopes for a better life. You're country won't be any different, Ukraine is the same as all of them, a victim of a tug of war between foreign nations.
I don't like being a mother性交er by speaking what I believe to be the truth but, Think about all that as objectively as you can for a while and ask then yourself what you, a Ukrainian citizen should do to make the country good, financially secure and sovereign again and rid it of its foreign interference. Cause really, you've been bought and invaded by pretty much everyone, it's just that the others made you go ape **** at the Russians who formerly had the most control over you to keep you distracted from what is really happening. History always repeats itself dude, if you wanna fix your country within a short period of time, look at history the answers are all there. If you want to know the likeliest future for your country, see how Georgia and the former Yugoslav countries are really doing, even those who joined the EU and NATO.
If you want to do a good prep, you're not prepping for war involving Russia, you're prepping for your very survival in a third world country. All you got going for you is good weather and good soil. So if you plan to stay, I recommend buying some good land in a good place, on a nice hill in a rural area away from the larger cities, with its own water sources and learning to work it, that way you will always have food, water, and dry feet. If you can get internet there, you can use your computer work internationally from at home and earn a buck that way.
But hey, that's just my opinion, and I'm just a stupid kid so what do I know...
Since the bombing of Syria the number of Russian provocations from Russia increased.some still defend that maniac in the east....
have there been any quiet moments now that the "stalin reincarnate" is busy in Syria?
More like trying to get rid of the status of a rogue stateso that a-hole is using Syria as a cover...
