wrong again.
once a decent amount of natural gas was found, the "west" had planned to take over and exploit it.
the added benefit was being able to hurt the russian economy by replacing their natural gas sales to the eu.
they had already invested billions... but when yanu decided to stick with russia, he had to be replaced.
national ambition? don't confuse the western ukrainians that are brainwashed and bribed by usaid/soros with the "national ambition".
you know how i know i am on the side of good? because george soros fights for the other side (along with you).
we can say the same for clinton, kerry, mccain, graham, klobuchar or any of the other slimes that promoted this war for years.
