RE: What Do You think of Scott Ritter's comments on the Ukraine?

in Deep Dives2 years ago

It seems dividing it might be the only peaceful negotiation left on the table, I have heard about the Donbas heritage there being deeply Russian as well, all the way to Odessa appearantly is Russia. The W. Ukraine would probably loose access to the port, and it wouldn't surprise me if Russia pushed for that in diplomatic negotiation.

Sort:  

During my travel in Ukraine, besides amazing hospitable people, I experienced 3 facts:

  • west of the Dniepr it is 90% Russian
  • Ukrainian was only spoken in a small area in the west
  • many people liked me being an Austrian because we produced such a great leader in the 30s....

mostly west of dniepr, maybe west of kiev.
In the south (odesa, krim) not at all.
