FWIW they are already doing invaded Eastern Ukraine 8 years ago and the Russian Duma has today approved to recognize the current occupied territories in the east as independent states. Russian speakers live in all big cities in the East and the south due to Stalin's Russification programme, surrounding villages are often Ukrainian speaking especially in the south

They've already done it in 2014, but more importatantly - "just"? That must be ok then. Right now 7% of Ukraine (which is double the size of UK) is under Russian occupation.

I was using "Just" in simply a geographical area context, as in "Would you like some cake?". "Yes please, but just a small slice"

It has nothing to do with "justice" in the context I used it. Maybe that is what is confusing you.

Would you have a problem if I had said ".. they will occupy only the eastern part of Ukraine"?

Just in that context wasn't justice (obviously), it was "only" (ie small part). but as I say, what if somebody broke ONLY your leg whilst threatening to break your skull in and demostrating that he can do it easily?

"just" == "only"

Yes, I'll also have a problem with that, even if Russia occupied "only" 0.01% of Ukranian sovereign territory

Russia is occupying Ukraine just as much as English people are occupying England. I will give you a clue.. the occupied territory is occupied by ethnic Russians.

It's internationally recognised that Russia's occupation of Crimea is illegal under international law - just because people there speak Russian does not mean it's legal for Russia to occupy it and treat it as part of its own territory.

Where did imbeciles like you came from anyway?
