Usyk is obviously ducking Gassiev.

The part about schism might be correct to some point, the only problem is that @slender4 got the parts completely wrong (the western Ukraine is pro-western (well, "strange" isn't it?) and the eastern Ukraine is more pro-Russian). And I actually live in Ukraine...
When I said earlier that "it's too complicated" it was not to belittle someone's intellectual facilities, or something like that, no (@slender4 is obviously a smart guy), I said it because it is complicated as hell.

I've read a book or two about American history and there was some strange periods there as well. Let's say the American War of Independence -- basically people of the same nationality, language, religion were fighting each other bitterly and at the same time traders wanted to trade with actually, well, the enemy, in fact? So many were against trading embargoes and stuff like that...
Or, even earlier, The French and Indian War. That was even crazier, I guess. Many farmers of British America were quite glad to sell grain to the French... How crazy is that? The war is going on, and you sell the foodstuffs to your direct enemy...

The situation in Ukraine is too complicated and, well, crazy to understand from the outside (it sometimes is even from the inside). Ukraine is multinational and multicultural country. For example, Russian is my native language but that doesn't make me a Russia sympathyser at all. I'm a Russian speaking Ukrainian.

Let's stop this conversation at this point, please. At least it should be a separate thread somewhere in the "offtopic" section. And I won't even read that, because I visit this forum to take a break from all this politics and war and enemosity ****...

Thank you for understanding.

Is Gassiev better than Briedis?

Fair enough, and yes of course, back on-topic with Gassiev.

(one final thing, actually, just wanted to say that now that you mention it that does make sense; the whole east and west thing in @slender4 's post did seem reversed to me...just based on basic geographical knowledge, Russia is obviously farther eastbound, while the bulk of "Europe" flanks the other side of Ukraine...so thanks for taking a moment and clearing up that bit of confusion)
