with a level of federalization to protect it from future lapses in Ukrainian democracy.

With a puppet government, you mean.

Just like the "free" elections that they lead in an occupied territory.

    Ah yes, "free" as opposed to »free« Ukrainian elections.

    In free, western Ukrainian elections, the ruling party simply bans opposition parties that they don't approve of and seizes their assets.

    Don't change the subject with whatabouttisms tankie.

    I can play that game too: Russia held elections at gunpoint in occupied territory. Do you also believe that the elections the US held in Afghanistan and Iraq were free? Or does that only apply to countries that you don't like?

    I'm sure Russia had to hold, (at gunpoint?) the people of Donbas who had been shelled for 8 years by the Ukrainian government to get them to vote to leave Ukraine. Or the people of Crimea who had already voted to leave Ukraine before the Russian Federation even existed.
