We left off wondering what the hell Russia thinks it doing poking around in Ukraine's business. Was the inner chaos during the Maidan Revolution somehow Russia's concern? No. It was just a handy story that Putin likes to tell people. Putin has also made clear that Ukraine doesn't exist. In the battle of Western/Russian propaganda, the story that never gets told is the real story. Maidan got messy - like, real messy - but nothing within Ukraine's borders has ever amounted to an offense worthy of intervention. The story that's being hidden now, in real time, is the story of Ukrainian sovereignty - not as a nation, but as a people.
