What about the Ukrainians who would be forced to live under a Russian regime? We all know that those in the population centers in mother Russia have a contempt for those in the more remote parts of the country. They were the first ones fed to Putin’s war machine. Do you really think that the Ukrainians who would remain in the annexed territory would have a chance at a better life? And what about the oil and mineral resources and rich farmland that Russia has stolen? You are not being realistic.
