Like you, Stepan Andriyovych Bandera was never a citizen of Ukraine. He was, however, a fascist Nazi collaborator and a war criminal who, together with his followers, was largely responsible for the massacres of Polish civilians and partially responsible for the Holocaust in Ukraine.
Are you sure?

Reality: The Russian-appointed Yanukovych changed the language policy of Ukraine in 2012 ...where the Russian element exceeded 10% of the population supplanting Ukrainian with Russian at every level of government...
Institute For The Study Of War wrote:Russian military bloggers continued to post analysis that is skeptical of Russian efforts and increasingly in-line with Western assessments of Russian military failures in Ukraine. One such blogger, Igor Strelkov, claimed that the Russian offensive to take Donbas has ultimately failed and that “not a single large settlement “has been liberated. Strelkov even noted that the capture of Rubizhne is relatively insignificant because it happened before the new offensive in Donbas had begun. Strelkov stated that Russian forces are unlikely to liberate Donbas by the summer and that Ukrainian troops will hold their positions around Donetsk City. Strelkov notably claimed that Russian failures thus far have not surprised him because the intent of Russian command has been so evident throughout the operation that Ukrainian troops are aware of exactly how to best respond and warns that Russian troops are fighting to the point of exhaustion under “rules proposed by the enemy.” The continued disenchantment of pro-Russian milbloggers with the Russian war effort may fuel dissatisfaction in Russia itself, especially if Moscow continues to press recruitment and conscription efforts that send poorly-trained cannon-fodder to the front lines.

It seems they were able to create a better military too. The communists, that is. I am not saying the Soviet military was the greatest for it's time, but it seemed much more capable than the Russian military when compared with the times.
Rancid wrote:Perhaps it's because the Soviets actually believed in their system and were thus more willing to fight for it. In this case, Russians are fighting for a dictator basically. Who the fuck wants to fight for an old man with delusions of grandeur? This is why Putin tries so hard to connect himself to the Soviet Union, even though he's not a commie by any stretch of the imagination. He is an aspiring emperor, more like the Tsars than than a secretary general.

Beren wrote:I guess that's what both sides are already preparing for. The Russian war-machine has run out of steam, or that's been the war they could afford having, so it could be Ukraine's turn for a counteroffensive. However, I wouldn't expect them to break through much.
wat0n wrote:Neither. Putin's preparing the stage to change his approach, I think, with losing as little face as humanely possible.
Also, it seems the Ukrainians are conceding Mariupol:
