Ukraine doesn’t really have what Russia wants.

NATO needs to make a deal with Russia.
Ukraine IS what Russia wants.

Russia wants NATO to stop expanding along their border.
Clearly not. It didn’t have a problem with Finland and Sweden.

It WANTS Ukraine. It’s not afraid of NATO.

What was the last new language you learned and what new language are you learning now??

(I've thrown in a second question mark because of your affection for them.)
The younger you are,
the easier it is to learn a new language.

Double points ??

That is true, but my questions remain: what was the last new language you learned and what new language are you learning now??

If you think the Russian language is too complicated
for a high school class.

At least teach high schoolers the Russian alphabet.

Then they would be more likely to learn the
Russian language in College.
Bad idea. If they could read Russian they might read real Russian history and literature. Putin's propaganda would be revealed for what it is, along with the corruption of the Russian Orthodox Church which helps keep him in power. You really don't want Westerners to learn to read Russian.

There is plenty of real Russian history and literature available in English. I can't tell if you were serious or being ironic in the above post. I hope the latter.
