They've been fighting Russian separatists since about 2010. What do governments usually do when faced with a revolt?I understand that Congress would never vote to allow independence for Puerto Rico.
What do you think Ukraine army has been doing since at least 2014?
Ukrainians be like:

Nothing the media tells you should be taken at face value. Here’s a Homework assignment:
How many countries has Russia invaded over the last 20 years?
Now do the United States.
How many civilians were killed in each instance?

Yeah the government lied about 9/11 lied about wmds in Iraq to fight wars for profit this is now common knowledge
You want to know why we went into Iraq? Oil is bought and paid for worldwide in U.S. Dollars. Known as the petrodollar. Hussein was threatening to take Euros instead of Dollars for his oil. If he did and that caught on it would have been a serious threat to our status as the world's reserve currency. Hussein was doing other things too, but that is what ultimately got him killed.

Face it ... the best we can do is to pick the best of two evils...there is no such thing as free democracies or socialist countries anymore those principles died a long time ago..as Bush put it “we are in a new world order” ..
Right now we better be planning what to do once this War is over, the Ukrainians are on their own, their pleas for help are being ignored for the sake of upsetting the world’s monetary systems. I hope there is a way out of this conflict in order to protect innocent people and to hell with the A-Holes and their agendas that instigated this bloodshed.

Be skeptical about media coverage of Ukraine
If you have been monitoring the coverage of the conflict in Ukraine, it is amply clear that a narrative is being pushed.President Volodymyr Zelensky is being compared to Winston Churchill during World War II; he is leading his people during perilous times to become an inspiring figure. He refused a safe passage offer from the U.S. with the quip: "I need ammunition, not a ride." He streams videos from the deserted streets of Ukraine and posts photos with his Cabinet. Photos of Zelensky surface in military gear on the battlefront. To sum it up, Zelensky is being portrayed as Churchill, Rambo, and a social media influencer all rolled into one.
Even news organizations such as the BBC use mobile phone footage whose authenticity they cannot verify. They introduce it with a disclaimer, but the question remains: why show it if it cannot be verified?
So what do we make of the Ukrainian regime and President Zelensky? Could the conflict have transformed him into a different man, or is this all a charade?
Let the conflict end or recede, and let those affected by the conflict be interviewed. Let historians and documentarians gather information from all sides. Let everything be judged dispassionately and objectively. Only then can we pass a verdict. The media and the public must restrain the urge to confer members of the Ukrainian regime with superlative epithets merely based on social media posts or poignant utterances from a former actor.
Global powers must be cautious while arming the Ukrainians without supervision. These arms could be misused or sold after the conflict is over, and the millions may end up in personal accounts. Aid has to be sent, and aid workers must make sure the aid reaches the people directly and is not siphoned off by middlemen.
For every bit of information we receive from any of the media, including social media, we have to have a healthy amount of skepticism but an open mind while we hope for peace.

If the media told me grass was green I’d no longer believe them. Shut it the fack off and end the abusive lying relationship with them. They need to be shunned by all of society for their deceit and the damage they’ve caused

There have been stories later called fake news then again changed to maybe fake.

First the citizens of PR would have to send a request to Congress for their vote.
That has never happened.
