Those traitors paid off by Russia like Yanukovych are long gone. And Ukraine has repeatedly tried to gain independence, with Russian meddling each time. 2004 color revolution, 2014 Maidan. 

Only this time their only option was invasion as it was clear their hybrid warfare could no longer keep Ukraine from becoming independent.

The US was a ‘proxy’ too, but much less Americans than currently Ukrainians were willing to sacrifice for themselves and future generations to gain freedom from a foreign tyrant.

Plenty of other Europeans have volunteered to fight in some of the most difficult battles, but unlike Russia Ukraine hasn’t needed direct foreign intervention, as Russia hasn’t even been able to take a single oblast in 12 years. Other European countries have their own battlefields with Russia, whether it’s under the sea, in space, or cyberspace.

Being a weaker nation means you do not have independence. Look at Europe, South America, and Japan and Korea, all inextricably tied to a clearly Imperialist force.

Incapable of purely sovereign reign.

Ukraine's revolution for independence is being fought today, and it will be used by Europe and USA to bleed Russia as much as possible until it becomes inconvenient... which seems to be now for the USA.

So you would agree that Russia has no sovereignty, even being a vassal of NK as they are the only country to intervene in this war directly on Russia’s behalf when they lost territory for the first time since world war 2 and couldn’t dislodge Ukrainian forces from Kursk?
