In which way is Russia going to oppress Ukrainians? How will it compare to their treatment of other minorities?

While, as I understand, Russia is going to oppress Ukraininas on a level of government

What do you expect?

occupy Ukraine or turn it into puppet state

Britain got out of the EU for this reason.

abuse them

What about the posts about Amazon working conditions and US healthcare? At least Germany is approaching US conditions.

Their argument is that they didn’t break the agreement.

We call the Russian influence on the West hybrid war, wouldn’t the Western influence in Ukraine be the same?

Minsk II, they are pointless. People even question US and French Nato commitment.

But hypothetically speaking, why should Russia be bound to the agreement if the West actually did a regime change?

and security assurances from the United States and Russia.

The US pressured Ukraine to accept assurances and not guarantees. It matters which kind of guarantees are given.

agreed not to attack Ukraine in order to get Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons.

Russia argues that there was a regime change in 2014 which released them from that agreement.

A decade ago, no one would’ve discussed this seriously

If not by war then by other means, the pivot area was meant to be changed.
