    Ukraine was relatively balanced with Ukrainian and Russian candidates having a fair chance. That changed when crimea was occupied. Russia where then surprised when the most pro russian territory don’t send there votes and the country votes for a pro Ukraine president. Fighting in the Donbas made the issues even worse for them.

    The best thing Putin could do to insure a favourable election is stop, give the occupied regions back and see what happens.

      The more you look at the history of this conflict the bigger blunder it appears to be. Yet again Russia has been toppled by a conflict it could have totally avoided.

      For a bunch of kgb master mind strategists they sure cant strategise for shit lmao
