    You are again diverting and misleading.

    I’m doing no such thing.

    You deleted the content of the Budapest Memorandum from my quote.

    Russia honoured the Budapest Memorandum right up to the point when NATO ran a coup in Ukraine in 2014 which caused a civil war. I wonder why you would ignore this important context…

      So an invasion and annexation of parts of another country is justified, when there is a coup? (There wasn’t, btw. )

        There was and it’s a well documented fact. Meanwhile, the invasion was modelled on the precedent set by NATO invading Yugoslavia. NATO recognized independence of the breakaway regions and had them invite NATO for assistance. Russia did exactly the same thing in Donbas.

          You could not find a more reputable source? Greyzone author, really?

          And it is news to me, that NATO troops were in Yugoslavia. Got a source for that? Or again a lie by you as the background of western politicians?
