Ukraine Thread

[Gilrandir]

Yanukovich may still be considered the legal state of Ukraine - if he's been impeached illegally, then he was still the president and there couldn't have been new presidential elections until his mandate was over.

Same as Nikolai II's heirs are still the legal rulers of Russia. If we try to recall all the leaders removed from power after a procedure with dubious legality we may have a really long dispute on how legal are those that came to supplant them.

You made it sound Putin admitted that operation to annex Crimea was started while Yanukovich was still in power, which wasn't true.
Believe or don't believe Putin, that is your prerogative. Not believing politicians is usually a safe bet, but don't twist facts to suit your agenda.

1. You don't seem to trust Putin in his claims yourself yet you call them "facts". WTF i.e. what the fact?
2. Where did I twist them? Here are "the facts":
Putin admitted that the operation started on a certain date. Period. According to all available timelines Yanukovych was still unimpeached on that date. Period. It doesn't take much effort to match the two and make a conclusion.

Considering the massacre, it was pretty explicitly mentioned that, according to Kiev, there were 7 confirmed murders.

Still have no idea where Korsun with the mentioned massacre is situated. The source, please.
