Review:
Going into the details on any country is always interesting. The back and forth, however, with Poland, Russia, and Ukraine is amazing. Putin's argument is hewing back to an old line from Russia's period of empire (Putin doesn't really want another SSR like the communists did, he doesn't want a vassal state, he wants Russia to expand its border). All told, the Ukrainian struggle for self-determination has long been anchored in being a buffer state that can't seem to get out from under. The line of the Donbas down the middle of the country has often denoted which part of the country is associated with which group. All-in-all, very interesting and an excellent background.
