Ukrainians can remove their leaders. Russia doesn’t get to do that and they failed so far this time round. Though they have managed to seize yet more land.

He may not have started as a Russian puppet, but he certainly looked like one at the end.
Ok we’re on the same page then, we’re both ok with the people of Donetsk/Luhansk rebelling against the Kyiv gov
Those people just happened to include a load Russia soldiers who happened to on holiday there.
Viktor Yanukovych being kicked out was by actural Ukrainians.
I don’t see them the same.
Anyway, I’m done here. I keep ending up in these long threads with tankies / trolls from lemmy.world, life is too short.
