It would be unfair to distract from this thread, but I learned something from this article published in The New York Times Magazine about the antecedent causes of this war. It is paywalled, apparently, though in post four (?) a freelink is given via Ukraine Today - which described the summary as _epic_. It may or may not interest. The article is not brief, but is well written, informative, easy to follow, perhaps even accurate… > [@Ukraine, Manafort and “Peace”](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ukraine-manafort-and-peace/974716): > > I’m not sure I understood all the causes of the current conflict in Ukraine until I read this excellent article. I knew bits and pieces but not the bigger picture. Comments welcomed. (Hopefully not paywalled.) is the article fair? Accurate? Informative? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russia-invades-ukraine-2022-02-24-part-2/973972)._
