You wanna know about criminal acts? Read what Russians did in Lithuania
1940-1. For that matter, read any page of "Soviet" history.

Oh yes. I bet you said that in 1990 when Lithuania declared
independence from Moskau?

2050? You nuts? Your barbaric hordes won't even be civilised enough by
2150.

Couldn't give a stuff. I'd rather you read how Russians exploited
Lithuania for 50 years and other republics for more than 70.

All due to obviously fraudulant elections.

Do you apply the same principles to Chechnya?

If eastern Ukraine tries to seccede do you think the Ukrainian army
has the right to do to it what the Russian army did to Chechnya?

Or are you into double standards?

And the right bank, including Kyiv. As well as Chernihiv, Sumy,
Poltava oblasts. The electoral map of Ukraine for you:

Not really:

http://www.ukrainebiz.com/Articles/LvivFacts.htm

Lviv was also a major electronic center in the USSR and thus has a
large pool of electrical engineers etc.

But of course a seperate Ukraine would include not only Galicia but
Volyn, Podil (Khmelnitsky/Vynnytsia) and central Ukraine (Kiev,
Poltava, Cherkassy, Chernihiv)

Unless the Russian forces are thrown out.

Yushchenko ended the gas theft.

-------------------------------------
There's no such international principle.
We have reason to expect every minority to have equal rights but that's not
the same as they've the right to choose political organisation.

Asking for autonomy

-----------------------------------
International law ?? What's that ? International law doesn't exist
,simply.
There's only national law systems.
Some international conventions do exist, as human rights, prisoners right
in a war due to the Geneva convention and so. Bear in mind such
conventions must be signed by the independent countries and included in the
countries national law systems, otherwise they're not worth more than the
paper used.
