Among the 11 demands of Hungary regarding the protection of the rights of national minorities, a key stumbling block is the designation of areas in Ukraine with a special level of guarantees for the rights of Hungarians.

US journalism is unreliable? Say it isn't so...
The entire principle of US journalism is to fill the zone with shit and have everyone sift through the shit to find their own independent nugget of truth.

Something something this is a sign of a healthy economy and it's actually China that's going to collapse
You do realize that renewables still have an emissions footprint from manufacturing, transportation, deployment, transmission, and recycling/retirement... Right? That they're limited lifespan disposable goods? So are batteries.
Moreover, each new solar panel has an opportunity cost in that it could be used to supplant fossil fuels in an area of the world that would actually benefit from it, rather than helping a facility THAT ALREADY HAS A TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM cool things down further because Americans are too spoiled with their extreme electricity consumption patterns to do anything else.
And yet your neighbours evidently disagree, given the extent from which the Donbas and Luhansk militias successfully recruited from the population.
An anecdote does not disprove statistics.
Funny that you should bring that up, because Eastern Ukraine is ethnically and linguistically Russian-dominated, just like Crimea. Self-determination for me but not for thee?
Why does Western Ukraine get to dictate the sovereignty of Eastern Ukraine?
See I agree, but Boston-New York and New York-DC are still very competitive with driving and flying, if only because their respective airports are so far from the city itself.
Canada's military was responsible for the subjugation and genocide of many First Nations group, including against the Metis, Cree, and Assiniboine peoples, as well as deployed abroad to subjugate the Boers in South Africa in support of the British Empire. The Canadian Army was also deployed in Afghanistan, where Western powers fought for two decades to replace the Taliban with the Taliban and caused untold amounts of suffering in the process.
Now do Iran.
Considering Canada declared Iran's army as a terrorist entity...
The US refuses to send Ukraine better ATACMS. At the end of the day, the US wants cluster munitions to proliferate because it aligns with NATO military doctrine.
Where do you think the energy for electric heating and cooling comes from? Thin air?
AC still makes up like 7% of global GHG emissions. That's more than aviation and computing... Combined. That's on par with the entire iron and steel industries. In fact, it's almost on par with the GHG emissions of all agriculture output and is expected to exceed the entire agriculture industry's GHG emissions before 2050.
This doesn't answer why Crimea's population has more or less remained constant (with growth consistent for its size and geography)...
This is just pulling numbers out of your ass to justify shit on your face.
Civilians are a manufactured concept by the Russian deep state
dedicate more forces to protecting their nuclear capabilities
Are you hearing yourself? The nuclear capability is the protection. There's a reason that during the Cold War nobody was stupid enough to attack someone else's nuclear early warning radar. The entire principle of mutually assured destruction relies on both parties knowing what the other is NOT doing so they know that they don't need to respond.
I guess the fear of nukes has waned since the end of the Cold War.
Y'all will literally sacrifice the entire world so long as Russia loses.
Saying that a radar jammer is protecting Russia's nuclear triad is like... Well, obviously? Like, are you stupid, or are you just trying to justify nuclear war?

Taiwan doesn't want to be Chinese, so it isn't. Crimea wants to be Russian, so it shouldn't be?
I get the sense that the only thing people like you want is to separate countries on some vague idea of ethnic lines and Balkanize countries because racism has been such a big part of your identity.
Purge has a Soviet connotation.
