In last day Russian attacks end with much more deaths of civilians. They shooting at houses and apartments of people, hospitals, kindergartens, Kharkiv city municipality and Kyiv TV tower. They are still say that Russia attack only military objects, but it's rude lie. If they're doing such things, seems that they have no limits...
It's very likely that Belarus army is going to join Russian forces in attacks. And from what I read, Ukraine would respon with rockets attack towards Belarus.

Not sure how much clearer i can be. US will never allow Cuba to enter into any defensive pacts (regardless of how lawful/democratic/liberating/profitable... it will be for Cuba) that would allow other countries to bring nukes into Cuba. China will never allow Taiwan to enter into any pact (regardless of how lawful/democratic/liberating/profitable... it will be for Taiwan) that will allow 3rd country to bring nukes into Taiwan. Now you can argue whether it is right/ethical/lawful etc... but it'd be silly to argue the fact itself.

I'm not sure why you're talking about brinngin nukes. Poland and Baltic states is NATO members and there is no nukes there. How Ukraine would be different? What if Finland will decide to join NATO? Russia will start war against them too?

Putin has lost his mind. The only thing he can think of is "denazification, denazification, denazification, denazification,..."

Whatever that means. I am afraid he really means the extermination of Ukrainians.

The tragedy and the scary part is that there are a lot of people in Russia who agree with him.

I understand how you feel, so just posting facts from wiki without comments.

Ukrainians in Russia make up the largest single diaspora group of the Ukrainian people. The 2010 Russian census identified 1.9 million Ukrainians living in Russia
...An estimated 340,000 people born in Ukraine, mostly young people, permanently settle legally in Russia each year.
...The number was estimated to have risen to 2.5 million as of December 2014. *(After annexation of Crimea)
...As of September 2015, there were 2.6 million Ukrainians living in Russia
...Over 420,000 asylum-seekers from Ukraine had registered in Russia as of November 2017.
...Assimilation has also been a factor in the falling number of Ukrainians; many intermarry with Russians, due to cultural similarities, and their children are counted as Russian on the census. Otherwise, the Ukrainian population has mostly remained stable due to immigration from Ukraine.

I hope you understand how crazy Putin's idea of reuniting the Russian people is.

If you follow this logic, Ukraine should be bombing Moscow right now, and annexing Russia because there are millions of Ukrainians in Russia.

The whole thing is just mad. Killing Russians to reunite Russians.

He would make more sense, if he was honest with the world and say, I want the Ukrainian territories. This talk about the genocide of Russians by the Nazi regime, or "denazification" just confirms that he has lost touch with reality.
