Saw this on Facebook so no link, but it describes the situation.
The #Ukraine & #Russia crisis in simple terms for those that have no idea what is going on:
-Ukraine used to be in an abusive relationship with Russia, feeding him, letting him use her car & giving him whatever he asked for until she built up the confidence to call it quits back in 1991.
-Since then Ukraine has been working on herself, becoming a strong independent woman with help from friends like France, America, Poland etc. offering her support, loaning her money, & helping her find her way.
-Ukraine has been enjoying being single for 30 years & looking forward to continuing to grow & create new friendships.
-Now Russia being the toxic ex that it is wants her back, and doesnt want her meeting new people or creating any new relationships.
-A couple of weeks ago Russia started sitting in the front of Ukraines house & when her friends ask him what was he doing there, he said Oh nothing, just getting a little bit of exercise in, thats all.
-After her friends told her that Russia was potentially getting ready to do something bad to her, he said Theyre lying, they just want you to be scared of me & thats not what it i.s
-Yesterday Russia broke into Ukraines house, beating her up & taking advantage of her while on Livestream & double dog daring any of her friends to do something about it & if they do want the smoke, Russia got that thang on him.
