Its not illegal if the people in those regions voted for it. I thought you people liked democracy

No such thing as "Illegal" when it comes to war.

[Americansikkunt]

You mean the regions that declared independence years almost a decade ago?


“Separatist leaders in eastern Ukraine have declared independence, undermining an upcoming May 25 presidential election, strengthening the Kremlin’s hand and putting pressure on Kiev to hold talks with the self-proclaimed regional leaders.

The declarations of independence by Donetsk and Luhansk come just 13 days ahead of a Ukraine national presidential election, which both regions say they will not take part in.

Separatist leaders said 89 percent of those who cast ballots on Sunday in the Donetsk region and about 96 percent of those who turned out in Luhansk voted for sovereignty.”

Deliberately attacking a convoy of cars killing over 30 people including children is an act of cowardice that infuriates the world. Ukraine should be allowed to join NATO immediately.

[b.visconti]

Why can't Russia just have this area if it will stop the war in Ukraine!???
