General question: Do I understand this correctly that only ten to twenty percent of the population have a formal education beyond high school?

The war started when russian military entered Crimea ("little green men") and Donbas ("separatists") in 2014, not a second earlier.
And all ethnic minorities were allowed to vote in Ukraine, on all levels of administration, as long as they live under the administration of the ukrainian government or are registered with ukrainian embassies in foreign countries.

>Moscow funded/equipped them during Apartheid.
But actually it was the Soviet Union who supported the ANC, and Ukraine was part of it. So why the sympathies for the dominant aggressor and not the smaller victim?

This statement is intellectually poor: of course there are other ways of ending this war, too.
For instance, Russia could return all its military behind its internationally recognized borders - war would be over immediately. Or Ukraine could stop fighting - the war would be over too, as well as Ukraine as an independent nation.
I can't fathom why SA, a former colony, cannot understand the wish of ukrainians to live as an independent nation and not as a russian colony.

>reduce pension payout,
Doesn't really help. In the end the government has to pay for its citizens's living expenses (rent, food, energy etc).

The teams should let Qatar win the world cup. Just to show how idiotic this whole endeavor is.
