No, you were saved by a Soviet intervention, led at that time by a Ukrainian man, by ships mostly made by Ukrainians.
It was Russia, not Ukraine. You may proceed to cry. And it was Russian intel.
Did I forget to tell you that you may proceed to cry?
In 1971? I'm pretty sure it was the Soviet Union buddy, and Leonid Brezhnev was from Kamianske, Ukraine. As was a majority of Soviet cold war equipment.
I know that doesn't fit your political preferences and deep seated need to excuse genocide, but facts don't care about your feelings.
You are projecting your feelings so Indians start infighting with Russia, so that western NATO regime benefits. It is divide and conquer strategy, and we are quite alert about it, having gone through 200 years of it. You are the people comfortable about genocide of Russians and Ukrainians so you could continue to live a more lavish lifestyle in West.
People like you are the most emotional, living in delusion about being logical.
India and China have similar stances on matters, as does Russia, to the point India and China are the only countries in the world to sign a pact of not using nukes first. Why do western nations never sign that pact? 1945 Japan vibes?
Brezhnev was a leader in Russia, not Ukraine. His place of birth does not matter. How manipulative do you have to be to claim Soviet Union and Russia (core of USSR) are not the same, and to delude me with technical nonsense?
I am very much not comfortable with the fact that Russia is mass deporting Ukrainians and taking their children.
Not only has Russia not signed it, Russia is actively using chemical weapons right now, despite numerous treaties about it.
Russia also signed a treaty to leave Ukraine alone if it gave up it's nuclear weapons, and look how they are respecting it.
Oh boy. You really really need a course in history if you think all the parts were treated the same. It mattered a LOT.
Despite Russia's best efforts, and post cold-war propaganda, they really aren't. I think the continued fall from Soviet superpower into Russianpetro-olicharchy should be a big hint.
But, as with most people like you, it's protection all the way down
