there's always been a big cultural divide between wet cultural, social, political divide, between west ukraine and east ukraine. but the events of the last 8 years, these, these deaths, the dehumanization of the people of the gotten boss by the new regime in kia 1st. they called them terrorists. and then they were referred to as pro russian separatists, as if that somehow makes them less human beings. often they were just referred to as you know, russians themselves and it was denied that there was a actual civil conflict in you. great, that's part of the legitimizing mess of the porch in 2014 everyone and ukraine agreed with the overthrow of the government. and anyone who did it were just pro russian separatists and had no legitimacy whatsoever. well, after these a bloody years living half in and out of their basements in done yes. can little gods for the 1st president of the my dont put regime in give the candy oligarchy. petro portion go, famously said in a recorded that you can watch on youtube, that the children of kids under their control will go to school and, you know, play outside wel
