This is nothing new, but the threat seems more real than before. At least that's my impression at the moment. I hope I am wrong.

A very large portion of people in Ukraine have more in common with Russia then with the West. Russia remembers this when it's guns are pointed at people who do not see them as the enemy.
I bet the last 10 yrs of governance by the Kiev government has convinced more people that they are governed by outlaws. Sure, there is no way to quantify this, but historic/linguistic/family connections show this best and they span 100's of years. I would go so far as to say that the Ukrainians had it better when in USSR with the Russians then they have now. They had stability but people in general do not like stability, they prefer consumerism. The last 20 yrs. in Ukraine have been anything but stabile. Consumerism is there but at the cost of being run by a corrupt and dangerous government.
Anglos/Euros entering Syria or Iraq had no connection with the local people besides the fact that they share the same human anatomy. Russians entering Ukraine see people that were once their friends. Not prefect friends but there was cooperation. That is a completely different dynamic when it comes to conducting warfare.
In 2013 , in the midst of gas syphoning war, Putin tried to make a deal where he even promised a lower price for the gas. Yes, there were other conditions but he did try to meet the Ukrainians half way. Imagine getting a reduction of gas/oil price from any western producer.

Anyone believe that EU would want "a faster and more robust recovery" for Ukraine ?
I don't. EU doesn't want competition. They want a failed state that is addicted to credit like drug addict to drugs. Of course that credit would have to be paid of on the cheap with land or access to resources underground. That's why there is a desire to keep Ukraine in the Western orbit.
After Trump meeting, Ukraine to import U.S. thermal coal for the first time
Ukrainian state-run energy company Centrenergo said on Monday it had struck a deal with U.S. trader Xcoal to import 700,00 tonnes of thermal coal this year - the first time Ukraine has imported the commodity from the United States.

Let me see, there is no one closer than US ???? Classic mafia deal. Who pays ? Ordinary Ukrainians, that's who.

Vladimir Putin has this afternoon ordered Russian nuclear deterrent forces on high alert amid tensions with the West over his invasion of Ukraine.

Russia-Ukraine war: 'Putin's henchmen' threatening UK, Britons warned; Moscow's troops reach key Ukrainian city
Russian troops have reached the Ukrainian city of Toretsk, an anchor of Kyiv's defences in the eastern Donetsk region. Its capture could bring closer the prospect of Moscow securing the entire Donbas. Meanwhile, the MI5 boss has warned Russia wants to create "mayhem" on UK streets.

Someone commented that the Czech gov. has been shutting down alt. websites. Googling DuckDuck-ing shows nothing. So I took the key words and translated them to Czech and stuck into Google. This is what I found.

Some comments seem interesting, but translating Czech looks not to be very easy for the algos.

That last name is definitely related to this other famous Shiff but how close ?
Use translation web page to read,

Ukrainians dream of living in the Western Empire. Ukrainians don't like Russians in current time. It is a fact. Ukrainians are very emotional.
I can understand, if I would be causing you such eye rolls, considering that I wrote:
""Ze", the challenge for him would be to recognize that a lot of pathological individuals have taken over"
I did include "challenge" but was there reason to be even more clear?
I could have written """Ze", the challenge for him would be to recognize, PROVIDED HE IS EVEN CAPABLE OF IT, that a lot of pathological individuals have taken over""
The words to choose depends on the situation. In this case, I wrote on an FB page, where I intended to leave a door open for any stray reader accustomed to the MSM narrative, and in an environment where the voices overall are more aggressive than when people disagreed over COVID. On another page, some participants called others who do not blanket condemn Russia as collaborators, traitors etc. It is difficult to discuss Russia and Ukraine right now. I recall The Crowd by Gustave Le Bon and the videos on mass psychosis. That is all fine, but what to say to whom and how is not easy for me.

Too bad you removed it as it is interesting in many way. I didn't realize it , but that news conference has the politician who is in the middle of this deal.
Ukraine blocks Chinese takeover of jet engine maker on US urging
Motor Sich holds key military technology for Beijing, now Kyiv's top trade partner
asia.nikkei.com
This connection I only found when I looked for more information about this deal. That is when I found this TIME Magazine article in which Eric Prince (Blackwater, Xe) was mentioned as well as the politician Derkach who is in the video you provided.
Exclusive: Documents Reveal Erik Prince's $10 Billion Plan to Make Weapons and Create a Private Army in Ukraine
Documents obtained exclusively by TIME reveal the American businessman's ambitious plans to take over Ukraine's military industry.
The deal was not completed. Why is there so much detail in the TIME article ? I suspect because it tries to tie Trump administration to what was going on. Trump's name is all over the article.
Poor Biden, he and his son ,who loves making deals in Ukraine, will have no chance to make this deal happen. Back to Work Joe !!!
