November 22, 1994: US President Bill Clinton thanks Ukraine for giving up its nuclear weapons. In return, the USA will stand by Ukraine's side to preserve its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the future. Ukraine and the USA share a vision of freedom.

Just a nice little gesture in the middle of ceasefire negotiations, right?
Thereβs one big problem: Ukrainians refuse to be part of Russia. Stalin murdered approx 4 million Ukrainians in the 1930s and that is just one of many chapters. Ukraine wants democracy, free markets, rule of law and to be a part of the West. They want no part of Russia.
Kremlin wants Russians to know: it is of greater risk to help Ukrainians than drug trafficking, robbery, rape or murder
Nadin Geisler, a Russian activist who helped Ukrainians flee Moscowβs invasion, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison on charges of treason and financing terrorism.
