I wasn't insisting that they are exactly the same, but I do believe the chauvinistic attitude towards Ukraine is pretty much the same.

It doesn’t seem the same at all to me.

At this point Russia should be reminded that “you catch more flies with honey”.

From the point of view of Ukrainians they will likely never trust Russia ever again.

The commonwealth of Pennsylvania was one of the 13 original States of the United States. It also was one of the first states to ratify the USS constitution. Birth place and home to Benjamin Franklin
