It gives us an insight into the enormity of what Ukraine had to deal with from the moment of its own escape from the USSR. How Russia operates. And how far Ukraine has come. This was just one of pandora's box of Russian actions.

The corruption of the Russian-controlled Soviet regime and the emergent Russian state is staggering. The poverty and backwardness of Ukraine in 1991 heartbreaking.

I hope it will help the world to understand how Ukraine was simply unable to deal with Russia's fraud on the UN, aggression and violations of multiple if not all agreements between the former USSR members — including borders, sovereignty, joint control of military, USSR's assets, and — nuclear disarmament.
