Sounds true, but we’ll have to wait and see for confirmation. Good article report though Anon.
That doesn't matter in the slightest.
It's like that meme with the adult shaking a child and screaming "just tell me what you want".
Ukraine is squarely in Russia's sphere of influence and Russia wants this fact to be respected. They've been literally asking to for this since at least 2002. That is literally how long this conflict has been building
And after 20 years of waiting and building strength, they are no longer asking, but telling the world how it will be: Ukraine will not be used as leverage and security risk against Russia. Ukraine is not free to decide whatever it wants under western patronage.
Basically, Russia put on its big boy pants and started acting like a superpower acts. I.e. this sort of action is something the US does all the time and no one really questions it because everyone realizes and respects that the position of power held by The States.
The question now is can Russia fill those big boy pants and actually withstand the backlash like a superpower should.
