    The article itself didn’t specify, but another article it linked to definitely suggests it was Russia. Can’t really blame a writer for the Kyiv Independent for assuming a local reader would already know this, but I sure didn’t.

    That makes it even more absurd. If my neighbor was encouraging me to disarm, I’d be suspicious as hell.

    So, Putin ignores security guarantees. Okay. Thank for encouraging me to read more on the subject!
