latest comment from baslajewgidra, 19/05/2022 11:43: A predictable outcome to the conflict notwithstanding a jingoistic behavior of some countries given the overwhelming superiority of the Russian forces in manpower and resources. Yes, a heroic defense by the Ukranian forces at the expense of a human carnage on both sides. Rather than serving as a provider of firepower and let Ukranians be proxy fodder it would have been better if the EU had found a means to mediate some agreement without the conflicting sides having to resort to force and eventually just achieving a detente with serious lasting consequence to both sides and us as EU.Once the West had acquiesed to the annexation of Crimea it was obvious that Russia would want and need a land corridor between Crimea and mainland Russia. Ukraine could have instead obtained an economic advantage by serving as an entrepot for goods and energy between West and East Europe. A meaningful red line should have been to guarantee that Odessa and surrounding maritime region remain as part of Ukraine to assure it would not become a landlocked country.
