Kind of weird that I’ve seen casual observers characterize the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a classic land grab when the only evidence that I see that somebody actually wants a partition comes from the Western bourgeoisie and Ukrainian anticommunists like Zelenskyy there.
Which sovereign country? People’s Republic of Luhansk or the Donetsk one? You know, the ones that Ukraine was shelling indiscriminately before the war?

But what do I know.
A partition? Do you mean a border with an existing sovereign country?

Oh those partitions were fine then?
Those were secessions, not partitions. The difference is that the local population does the former, the latter is done by external forces.
Why do you think they were made? Re-read what I said again and ask that question.
Ukraine isn’t a sovereign country.
