[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the end result of all of this is a divided Ukraine -- with Russia holding the eastern areas -- then was there any purpose to the war, even if Ukraine ends up "winning"?

Would Ukraine have been better off side-stepping the conflict by agreeing, months ago, to long-term neutrality with NATO membership permanently off the table?

Or would Putin have eventually launched an invasion even if Ukraine had signed a neutrality agreement?

I have similar questions.  Is this going to just go back to what it was before?  Who won? Nobody.  I also wonder if Ukrainian war didn't get as much western support and all the weapons...would have it ended the same way but earlier without so many casualties, massive destruction and horrendous humanitarian crisis in places like Mariupol?  All that this created is millions of displaced refugees.   [/quote]

What Russia did in the eastern part of Ukraine was to remove the people there, send them east into Russia (never to be seen again), and replace them with Russians.  The same would have happened to the rest of Ukraine if Putin had succeeded in taking the country.  I suppose by that measure, the new inhabitants would be happy.  [/quote]

Do you have proof of this massive transfer of one ethnic group and especially replacement with the other?  When did this take place?  It appears that a lot of Ukrainian population in the eastern Ukraine was already Russian speaking prior to this war and even prior to the unrests of 2014.  I bet you could never tell the difference between the languages or who is ethnic Ukrainian or ethnic Russian  :roll: [/quote]
