Russians like to ask Ukrainians what achievements our country has made. Ok,🇺🇦is poor, but I can list many of its achievements.
But let's put it aside for now and look at it from a different angle. How has🇷🇺influenced Ukraine? Look at the chart.
Let me explain what it means.👇
1992-1994 were marked by the collapse of USSR. The political system was being restructured, laws were changing, transition to market economy was beginning. People had no time for geopolitics—everyone was trying to survive.
That is why I refer to this period as "chaotic."👇

I am tired of that narrative “Russia attacked Ukraine because it was going to join NATO”.
Let me share a long 🧵 of facts which proves it is wrong. You are welcomed to deny the facts in comments.

No, there was no such a promise. The document which Russians like to mention here is not an agreement of any kind. It is literally just a conversation. And Baker said that it can be discussed. Nothing more happened.
