    Ukraine did not pay $15 million to relatives of victims of the crash, because court decided that the Ukrainian rocket did not hit the plane. Final decision was in 2013.

    Yes and no. For example, production of Soviet-compatible ammunition is restored in some NATO countries. However, production rate is not high enough to have parity with RF. IMHO, Uk…

    People in Ukraine had reasons to break out of Jail of Nations, but I see no single reason to join RF instead of EU and NATO. Most Slavic nations are already in EU, except Ukraine a…

    Russia shot the plane and paid nothing, but you blame Ukraine instead because Ukraine helped. FYI, Ukraine continues to pay money to victims of Russian attacks. This makes Ukraine …

    Tu-154 was hit by S300 rocket filled with TNT, not by S200 rocket filled by hexogen. Ukraine had no S300. End of story. Yeah, it's the classic example of Russian propaganda machine…

    You can find good videos from reputable agencies, such as DW, on YouTube with evidence, but you don't want to watch them. Artillery killed several Ukrainian civilians in Russia-occ…

    No evidence was found that a Ukrainian (or another) S200 missile hit the plane. 20 years passed - no evidence found. Moreover, now we know the name of Russian officer of air defens…

    Tu-154 was shot by Russian Air Defense, but RF blamed Ukraine instead. Please, update Wikipedia with materials from multiple courts.

    RF will happily trade Transnistria for Zakarpatie when Ukraine will be crushed.

    IMHO, Ukrainians should grab Königsberg for themselves after the end of war and then exchange it for something useful, e.g. exchange it for Transnistria with Moldova, instead of re…
