State Property Fund of Ukraine was created in 1991 for the purpose of selling off state assets, so you’re 100% correct.

Yep. I was definitely ignorant. I thank you and everyone else who responded to me.

Thank you so much for this write-up, I’m learning way more about this conflict than I ever have before. I never truly recognized to what extent neo-nazi’s have hijacked Ukraine.

There’s a video, if I can find it, floating around the Internet of Zelensky meeting with his troops at the frontline in 2019 or 2020 and telling them to stop attacking the Donbass and the soldier he’s talking to just doesn’t give a shit.

BTW: I found the video you mentioned https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/04/nazis-ukrainian-war-russia/

Is there a particular reason why many of y’all here seem to support Russia in this conflict? It seems to me that Russia are the aggressors, and I kind of understand why Russia invaded Ukraine (strategic location and reduce their border with NATO), but isn’t it still the case that Ukrainian and Russian citizens shouldn’t have to suffer and be annexed to Russia? I’m asking this question in good faith, I’m still a baby socialist.
