centuries to stamp out the concept and eventual reality of an independent Ukraine. It is why Russia wants Zaporizhzhia so badly. Khortytsia Island, the stronghold of the Ukrainian Zaporizhian Cossacks is located there. These Cossacks were not only strong supporters of Ukrainian Independence, but some say the idea of an independent Ukraine started with them. Russia would love nothing more than to tear the heart out of Ukraine's glorious history.

Concerning the Donbas, this is where the Holodomor mostly happened. There are mass graves of Ukrainians there and handing the land and those graves to the Russians would be one of the biggest disgraces ever in so-called "international diplomacy."

This will be worse than Chamberlain's "peace in our time."
