Why a Trump Victory Would Put Ukraine in Danger. In Trump’s Own Words

Moscow’s obvious, and seemingly active, support for Donald Trump in the US Elections is ignored by some Ukrainian Americans or dismissed as ‘leftist’ propaganda.

PACE & Kremlin-backed militants acknowledge direct Russian control in Donbas

Putin admits to Russian military involvement in Donbas

Crimean Tatars boycott Russia’s illegitimate elections in occupied Crimea

Most Crimean Tatars appear to have boycotted the elections which Russia illegally held in occupied Crimea.
