With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine became an independent state, formalized with a referendum in December 1991. On 21 January 1990, over 300,000 Ukrainians organized a human chain for Ukrainian independence between Kyiv and Lviv. Ukraine officially declared itself an independent country on 24 August 1991, when the communist Supreme Soviet (parliament) of Ukraine proclaimed that Ukraine would no longer follow the laws of the USSR and only the laws of the Ukrainian SSR, de facto declaring Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union. On 1 December, voters approved a referendum formalizing independence from the Soviet Union. Over 90% of Ukrainian citizens voted for independence, with majorities in every region, including 56% in Crimea. The Soviet Union formally ceased to exist on 26 December, when the presidents of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia (the founding members of the USSR) met in Białowieża Forest to formally dissolve the Union in accordance with the Soviet Constitution. With this, Ukraine's independence was formalized de jure and recognized by the international community.

Poland and Canada were the first countries to recognize Ukraine's independence, both on 2 December 1991. On the same day (2 December) it was reported during the late-evening airing of the television news program Vesti that the President of the Russian SFSR, Boris Yeltsin, had recognized Ukraine's independence.

And that WUNDERWAFFE backfired it will cause more guided weapons being sent to Ukraine Russia lost it get used to it.

The United States' Senate Foreign Relations Committee had adopted a resolution to designate Moscow a state sponsor of terrorism, officially. Earlier, the US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Senators Susan Collins, John Cornyn and John Barrasso had also similarly travelled to Kyiv to visit Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and reaffirm Washington's support. The US "stands squarely behind Ukraine and will sustain our support until Ukraine wins this war,"

When Putin came to power, Ukraine and Russia were in many ways practically indivisible shared a common cultural, economic and political space in just 20 years, Putin has destroyed these ties Russia is now understandably desperate to blame others for this historic failure.

This could very well mean that we sooner or later will see Nato boots on the ground in Ukraine.

Markus

Do not think that, the weapons Ukraine received now can only hold of the advance of the Russian army, hope more will allow Ukraine to retake occupied areas.

Our leaders has made mistake before when it comes to Russia and their President Putin.

They, like you, say Putin would not openly declare war on Ukraine. If Skybird and Kenneth Dekleva is correct then, Putin would not stop before he gets what he wants and if it mean to declare war on Ukraine and thereby be able to call in the reserves.

If and when this happens the weapon we have send or is sending would not be enough far, far from it.

And it is here I see boots on the ground.

But then what do I know-You could be right and in a couple of month from now the Ukrainian has retaken most of what they lost in the beginning of the war- Or I could be right.

Markus

Russia already could declare it a war it has a reason it has not I think Putin does not have the support to do that also not think any NATO member will send troops it is far easier to supply and train the Ukraine army then take loses of NATO personnel body bags do not do good on the support of this war

I wanna believe that you are fully correct.

Three German Gepards are confirmed by Kyiv to have arrived - with ammo, produced now in Norway.

If I were the Russians, i would carefully think twice now what to do next. :D

Twelve more cats should follow, at some point.

Meanwhile it got reported that Bubble-Olaf (the chancellor's offic, so it is Olaf in the end) is actively blocking Ukrainian orders for air defences that Kyiv was invited by Scholz to order diretcly from the German industry. The chancellor's office blocks the processing of the paper work since many weeks.

German inaction for Russian gas?

I suspect that may well be the case.

I'm surprised it has taken so long for the worm to turn.
