20. As well they should

The agreement was drafted without any Ukrainian input or consultation. Ukraine should respond with a demand that Russia give up their borderlands with Ukraine (much of this land was once Ukrainian anyway) as a buffer zone to protect Ukraine from more Russian invasion and genocide. We can start with the Kuban region, which was once Ukrainian land:

In Kuban many Ukrainians were settled in areas which were inhabited by Russians when in 1792 the Empress Catherine II gave the Black Sea Cossack Host the rights to these lands. Her decree of June 30 and July 1, 1792 handed these lands over to the Black Sea Cossacks "for eternity".[citation needed] The territory involved included the Phanagorian peninsula and the lands on the right bank of the Kuban River.

Attention Mr. Putin! If I read the above excerpt correctly, it does say "for eternity."

Russia is nothing but a terrorist state and has never had any honor.

Slava Ukraini!! Heroyam Slava!! Slava NaViki!!
