I know no one here is part of the Russian government, so I’m not expecting concrete answers here.
What I’m asking is simply what will happen if [well, when, at this point] The Ukraine ends up…falling, per se?
That’s a question in of itself really. Will Ukraine fight until the AFU collapses? Will there be a coup? Would a pro russian or neutral ukraine be established across all of what is currently the Ukraine, or will there be an attempt to make a “taiwan-ified” state in the west?
only under the aegis of the russian empire (1848, brief, partial) and later the soviet union (temporary until communist hungary formed)
that is, ethnic ukrainians were involved in occupation of hungary.
Thank you, I was trying to think of anything earlier but yeah that seems to be it.
i guess if you count the mongol occupation (again, brief), there may have been some ukrainians in that army too :D mongols swept up anyone willing to fight alongside them as they went, i think.
It might have more to do with slavery and enforced conscription, which played a significant part in the Mongol empire, than “willingness” lol
