I suspect, the baltics and Poland will be ok, it's just poor Ukraine

The precedent being set here will have repercussions from now on

Ukraine was asked to give up nuclear weapons in exchange for territorial
integrity

And now Russia has invaded

This will mean other states will from now be reluctant to give up nuclear
weapons, reduce their numbers,etc.,because agreements it seems if we go by
Russia don't mean a fig. This will change the whole discourse around
nuclear weapons. This will really shift things. But Putin doesn't care.

The writer in the new republic is right on, the west just doesn't get it.
And as always, whenever in the diaspora we Ukrainians talk about Putin and
his retinue in Ukraine, we get labelled as nationalists,or fascists or
fanatics. As a former professor of mine used to say, ..." Naive.....naive.."
