Random quote - bedrock principle
"Russia, through its 2014 invasion of Ukraine and its attempted
annexation of Crimea, sought to undermine a bedrock international
principle shared by democratic states: that no country can change the
borders of another by force. The states of the world, including Russia,
agreed to this principle in the United Nations Charter, pledging to
refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial
integrity or political independence of any state. This fundamental
principle — which was reaffirmed in the Helsinki Final Act — constitutes
one of the foundations upon which our shared security and safety rests.
As we did in the Welles Declaration in 1940, the United States reaffirms as policy its refusal to recognize the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force in contravention of international law. In concert with allies, partners, and the international community, the United States rejects Russia’s attempted annexation of Crimea and pledges to maintain this policy until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored.
The United States calls on Russia to respect the principles to which it has long claimed to adhere and to end its occupation of Crimea. As democratic states seek to build a free, just, and prosperous world, we must uphold our commitment to the international principle of sovereign equality and respect the territorial integrity of other states. Through its actions, Russia has acted in a manner unworthy of a great nation and has chosen to isolate itself from the international community"

Random chart - Ukraine
"In the lead-up to the presidential election on March 31, Ukrainians go
to the polls with less faith in their government than is true for any
other electorate in the world. Just 9% of residents have confidence in
the national government, the lowest confidence level in the world for
the second straight year. This is far below the regional median for
former Soviet states (48%) as well as the global average (56%) in 2018."
