Say what you will about Putin but he's not wrong about that. Ukrainian government is one of the the most hostile governments towards ethnic minorities. You can argue that other countries are racist, but the racism is mostly at ground level. In Ukraine, it is from the policy level itself.

Utter bullshit.

If there is any country that is instrumental in financing hate groups then it is Russia, they have their fingers in every pie that they can find.

Did they not ban Russian language media saying "it belongs to Russian(-speaking) oligarchs"? As if their own media doesn't belong to Ukrainian-speaking oligarchs.

What percentage of budget goes into Russian-majority areas? Let's say even before the whole NATO thing started in 2008.

Are you seeing this as a reason to justify Russian invasion into Ukraine?

Russian majority areas are in Russia, not in Ukraine. You are off by a whole country. :-)

Oh my god, get a grip man.
