I can't say I blame a few weaker individuals, particularly those with money in their pockets, for wavering in the face of the continuous propaganda, and now, independence with all the frills promoted vociferously by a minority.

The Commentator yesterday said the distance between the Dnieper to the Ukraine border is 900 miles instead of 160 to 250 miles.
