Glad you liked both my articles. Next article will be on US and it's activities, and then maybe explore BRICS attitude and finally root causes of rift between Eastern and Western Ukraine before 1991 too. If you want to stay updated (and support the work)-- please subscribe (for free, I am doing well with my job monetarily for now :) )
As for the grammar, yes I will try to put it in a Word doc next time to make sure I get it all correct

Fantastic work! This is best analysis of the causes leading up to the Russia-Ukraine war, that I have ever seen.
The links in it are also amazing — every one to an historic news item or wikipedia. Everyone should read this to understand what was happening. It matches exactly the picture I was uncovering, but goes much deeper than I ever discovered.
Highly recommend spending an hour on this to understand the conflict, and the role of NATO as well.
I would also like to add the following links to mainstream sources from 2014, which certainly affected events at the time:
Thanks a lot for encouraging words. I did take a lot of time (weeks) to put together the resources, and do all the extra research rather than write some half-baked propaganda pushing for either side. I will look through further from your resources. I have put a lot of effort into including a lot of "mainstream" links in my work above.
A lot of the stuff regarding Normandy Format, Minsk is more in the first part of the series (https://realcleargeopolitics.substack.com/p/the-battle-for-the-narrative-of-russo) although there too in not too much detail. The article was long enough as-is, and I had to make decisions to cut what wasn't adding too much to the overall conclusions of the article.
Great second article! Can't wait for the third!
Also, a small nit: s/it's/its/g
