you got half of that right. this also weakens ukraine in the event of a future russia-ukraine alliance as their language, cultures, and familial ties are close. it prevents slavs from being a problem again in the close future. keep them weak like they were in the nineties. we don't give a fuck about ukraine or ukrainian lives or liberation. all we want are dead slavs. why do you think we only give ukrianians shitty obsolete weapons, and only enough to last a few months at a time in a piecemeal manner?
