We, the great Russian Federation are deeply concerned about our brother to the west, Ukraine. Ever since the state broke free from the late USSR’s government it seems to be that this state has been in complete chaos. It seems that independence is not suiting Ukraine very well at this time. All we, the great Russian Federation, want is our neighboring countries to succeed and so far, there hasn’t been much success from Ukraine. Their GDP is low (112 Billion USD), and their Gini Index is low (25 Index score).
This state is not a nation. Their imagined community is broken with multiple cross-cutting cleavages causing riots and unrest in their population. This state has a national identity more akin to the Russian Federation. Their most commonly used language is Russian, their food is Russian, their religion is Russian. This state has the national identity of Russia and because of this, the mass majority of Ukraine will be drawn to our great nation. This can be most seen through the referendum vote given in Crimea where over ninety-five percent of the population voted to join the great Russian Federation. The claim that the vote is invalid is a false one as we did not force or coerce any person to vote in favor or not in favor of joining us, the greatest nation. The best course of action DISEC can take would be to hold a country-wide referendum vote called the Referendum to End Every Fight (R.E.E.F) for joining the great Russian Federation. This vote will most likely split Ukraine into two again, but as with countries like Ireland, sometimes this is necessary. East Ukraine is the North Ireland to the U.K. We have been fighting enough, all those willing to join us, the great Russian Federation, from Ukraine, you are all welcome with open arms. Come, brother, it is time for us to put down arms and join together hand in hand. I hope that all of you will support the great Russian Federation and our wonderful R.E.E.F plan.
