And people came back to the streets 71. More then 100 people dead, a lot ofpeople was missing, but Yanukovich ranaway to Rostov, Russia 72. Russia didnt accept itAnd 26 of February first Green-formed guys withoutany marks just start to invade Crimea. It was aPutins revenge of our victory 73. And while Ukraine was weak, in March they just throw a lot of military in Crimea Start to scare people and made a Referendum at gunpoint Only Afghanistan, Siria, Kazakhstan and Venezuela officiallyconfirm that Crimea is Russian territory no one else 74. Doesnt matter a lot of internationalcontracts, for ex. Budapest 1994Ukraine gives all their nuclear weapons unless their territory will beuntouched. Russia signed it. 75. So now, we havent a leader, government so it is a best time to eat peace of territory 76. The worst thing Russian people think thateverything great and support Putin 77. It is empire and Putin wants to SovietUnion alive 78. Then they starts an operation in Donbass it was planned more then 5 years ago 79.
