The western part of Ukraine is no more nationalistic than Russia.

The most sober policy is to let Ukraine be what it is, and become what it wants to become.

Of course, but we are not talking about peasants here. Ukraine has been selling it's wheat for generations. What we saw (grain be loaded onto Russian ships) was the theft of that grain by Russia.

> The idea that they should lie on ground and die is wrong.

I agree, and that is why Ukraine has not laid down on the ground and died.

> There is no a single motive for Russia to stole wheat.

No motive? :)

> Why? Russia can buy it.

Is Russia a wheat merchant? No. Russia is full of their own wheat. They did not buy wheat from peasants.
