This is where it all went wrong for Russia, in my view.
The notion that Ukraine is not really a country - clearly a PR
gambit - did not sit well with the International Community,
and its well-educated representatives.
We also saw, in a dramatic way, that Ukrainians could exhibit a fierce
sense of loyalty to 'Ukraine'. This might have been one of the accomplishments
of Soviet Russia, giving a sense of belonging and pride to peoples in a part
of the world that, by the accident of geography, has been invaded and marched
on this way and that for centuries.
Bilingual countries exist; Canada is one of these. I would hope for a reformed
federated Ukraine that all could share.
Just saying!!
