There are many experiences and lessons worth a summary.This article discusses the political mistakes committed by Ukraine before the war.

The main population of Ukraine is Ukraine, accounting for about four -fifths; followed by Russians, accounting for about one -fifth.If divided by mother tongue, about two -thirds of people speak Ukraine, mainly concentrated in the central and western regions; about 30%of people speak Russian, concentrated in the east and south.Midwest pro -Western and East pro -Russia, this is the biggest feature of Ukrainian politics.Ukraine is the same as the roots. Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is the birthplace of the Russian country. The country of the two brothers should maintain a close relationship.

From independence to 2014, there are four presidents -Kravcum, Kuchima, Youxianko and Yanukovic.The first President Clarvurkin kissed the West politically and did not cooperate with Russia.However, he is gentle on national and language issues, soothe the Russian and Russian people.The second president Kurchima pursued balanced diplomacy, both emphasizing Ukraine's independence and cooperation with Russia.In 2005, You Xianke was elected as president and adopted a pro -Western policy to continue with Russia.In 2010, Yanukovic was elected president and turned to Russia.

When Kravcuk and Kuchima became the president, Ukraine's pro -Western power accounted for an advantage, but he did not break with Russia, maintaining contact and communication.You Xianke kissed the West and broke the balance.Yanukovic's pro -Russia adjusted the policy of You Xianke.In general, in the four presidential governance, Ukraine's foreign policy is balanced.Equipment during a certain period, there is a chance to correct it below.

At the end of 2013, Yanukovich decided not to sign a contact agreement with the EU (this agreement is referred to as AA, which is a stage agreement that must be passed before joining the European Union). It is a big policy.The legal and reasonable approach to the Western faction is to challenge Yanukovic's decision in parliament and courts, peaceful protests, and elected him in the next election.The process of joining the European Union is not indispensable, irreversible, and can be recovered at any time.The pro -Russian faction has been patient for five years, and when You Xianke stepped down, why can't the Western faction wait?But they did not do so, and the peace protest was transformed into violence.The protesters occupied the state organs to seize the regime and conflict with the police, causing bleeding incidents.In some places that have been seized, the party and the Communist Party in charge of the region were banned from activities.

In a country that implements democratic elections, it should not be targeted to impact state organs to seize power and resist law enforcement violence?Looking at the Cosbans of North Kosovo in recent years, the small -scale resistance of the A -ethnic group has been ugly to be criminals and gangsters. The West recognizes the qualitative and supports their actions in the West.Let's look at the supporters of the US President Trump in 2021 to impact Congress and were condemned by the West, but their scale and behavior were far worse than the riots in Ukraine in 2014.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Azarov had stepped down at the time, and President Yanukovic also agreed to step down. The timetable was set, and the agreement was reached.The Ukrainian parliament voted to restore the 2004 Constitution amendment and dismissed President Yanukovic.These all violate the constitution.The parliament made a decision on the court, and immediately released the former Prime Minister Jimo Sumko, removal of five constitutional court judges, including the dean.

The former opposition came to power through street movement and parliamentary coup, and the people in eastern Ukraine were dissatisfied.They also protested to occupy government agencies and use violence.These are exactly what the former opposition has just used.For East Ukrainians, Kiev officials have no sense of morality and legal superiority.Kiev's official attitude towards the Eastern people is tough and does not take substantial actions to allow them to autonomy.

In 2014, Ukraine's pro -Western faction destroyed the Constitution and legal order, and destroyed the balance between the Western and Russian factions. It was the root of the country's chaos.Regarding the Russian and Ukraine War, it is reasonable and morally reasonable, but politically unwise.However, it cannot be invaded in Ukraine because of Ukraine's mistakes, but also cannot ignore their mistakes because Ukraine is a victim of war.
