It's not a divided nation. You fell for Putin propaganda.

"Keyboard warriors"... LOL ... If you actually listened to Ukrainians, even Russian-speaking ones, you would know they don't consider themselves "pawns" of anything. They blame one man and one country for this war: Putin and Russia. That's it!

You do realize Zelensky (and much of his cabinet) are actually Russian-speakers? Why did Zelensky win? He had a show called “Servant of the People” where he played a president of Ukraine. What language was the show in? Russian. So he played a Russian-speaking president of Ukraine, heading a Russian-speaking cabinet, and the entire show (except for a few phrases in Ukrainian here or there) was entirely in Russian? And guess what? The Ukrainians, including the ones in the east, voted for him!

Have you actually been to Ukraine? Do you speak Ukrainian or Russian? Do you even know anything about the country, except for the propaganda you find on sites like Greyzone?

Living in Prague, do you even speak Czech? Just speak to most Czechs (not the Okamura types), and you will understand how out of touch with reality your worldview really is.
