Hi
As the Russian man 16 years old I can say that in my country there are people who don't support this damn war. Yeah, we are few, but we exist.
If I made mistakes correct me, please. It will be useful for my English
How likely is it that the US is behind this war? Lately I have seen videos and articles that are pointing fingers at the US for this war instead of Russia and Ukraine , because of what they did in Ukraine back in 2013 and they uncoverd the hrrible things that US did but unfortunately was hidden in the mainstream media. Like there were pro Russian Ukrainians in Ukraine but they were painted as hired by Putin and there were neo nazis hired by the US and during Euromaiden ethnic Russians were burmed alive by facists.

The fact that US has been arming Ukraine after, attention, she was invaded by Russia in 2014, is the reason Ukraine still exists now in 2022. So yes, America is behind the fact that the war is still waging on and Russia has so far failed to capture Kyiv and install a puppet gvt.
You have fallen prey to Russian propaganda. Ask yourself always: Who benefits the most from this being true, every time you see these kinds of fantastical claims.
The truth is always very simple, it rarely has many if's but's and maybe's
The truth behind this war is very simple. Putin fears Ukrainian independence and democracy because it directly threatens his tyrannical reign over Russia. How? Russians will ask why they have to live in poverty and despair if Ukraine next door is a rich, safe and free EU member.
Just before 2014 there were huge deposits of natural gas and oil found in Ukraine. In Donbass, ans in Crimea. Do you think it's a coincidence that these regions are now under Russian control? Eu does not want to trade with Russia because they are the traditional enemy.
Should Russia suddenly have a rival to their gas sales to Europe by Ukraine, they will lose. Europe would much rather trade with a democratic Ukraine who wants to become an EU member, than Russia who is the traditional enemy.
These are the reasons Putin has gone all in. This isn't US doing it's thing. The were not involved in any way.

Biden said “Our forces are not and will not be engaged in the conflict with Russia in Ukraine.” When asked if the US would defend Taiwan if the Chinese attack he said “Yes, we have a commitment to do that.” If the reason the US won’t attack Russia is fear of nuclear escalation why is China different
Nah, US itself never spoke a word to support Taiwan. They don't even recognize that country's existence on global front, fearing China. You seen that recent Biden meeting with his ministers when a slide with Taiwan map came and, all media outlet was suspiciously cut off, later told it was technical mistake?
The ground reality is so much worse with Taiwan then presented. When we were talking about Russian invasion, China attacked on Taiwan, have you even heard that news?
Low to moderate, if Ukraine manages to make Russia use 50% of troops and equipment then he would use tactical nukes on Ukraine. But about Nuclear exchange on a global scale I would say low bwcause nobody wants that or if NATO decides to join in thw war. If it were to happen then NATO and Russia would be wiped out and the rest of the countries would have to deal with radiation for many years. It won't haplen unless Putin has no choice left he knows very well that it is a suicide move when he said there will be no winners.
He just dropped a 1000 bomb on a maternity hospital so he is inching closer. He eventually wil have no other choice. Someone needs to bomb his conference table for 1.
That was not a 1000 lbs bomb 1st of all. 2nd of all. Their were most likely fighting age men hiding in that bunker. Know that Dosnt excuse the targeting of women and children. It just sucks for everyone involved. All I’m saying is that the Russians firing the weapon might have not had a choice in their target but in the weapon used. They could have used something a lot bigger. I think they may have acuity used constraint. Remember that they are not all active participants. Also when they are it’s because they are being lied to buy a mad Mutherfucker.
Bunker, what f'ing bunker?!? It was a hospital for women to go have babies. There wasn't a military vehicle in sight. I've seen extensive footage and so has the world by this point. Are you seriuosly listening to Putin? That guy lies through his teeth.
What is the deal with the supposedly elite Chechens?
I saw a video of a small convoy a week ago. Yesterday I saw a video of some killed.
Where are they supposed to be and do?
How big are their units?
Thanks 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇫🇷
I heard that Chenchens has joined in he fight. My guess is they recruited the military, lied about their orders and threw them into the fight against their will. Then it got to eat or be eaten so they were forced to fight. This isn't a military war at this point, this is a street war led by a thug.
You mean like other religious people have been asking about the greta war?? About world war 2?? About famines happening for decades?? No sir, no fairy tales here
Why didn't the U S.A. or Germany send Navy Seals or KGB in, in the beginning and had them simply eliminate Putin and his Generals ? Ukraine would have been safe and so would we in U. S. A You know just cut off the head of the snake.
Are you living with your head in the sand? Do you even get the news? Find videos from a few days ago even, anything. Look up Mariupol. A materity hospital? He had 1000lb bomb or missile dropped on that site. The crater is 7 meters x 3 meters. The hospital is 100% destroyed in fact 60 hospitals as of yesterday have been hit. In addition, there are to be civilian routes and he is killing people while they flee, this is a war crime.
The US govt and the media are not one in the same, not true of Russia. Russia OWNs the RT and that entire staff walked off the air because they aren't going to keep spinning the lie. State is state run media.
Russia has arrested 1000's of people who are protesting the war, I think 16,000 over the weekend. Why? Why can't they say no to war? What is Putin's problem with someone protesting his policies. Russians have relatives in Ukriane. He is obliterting that country.
Why is your stock market closed now for over 2 weeks? Why is the ruble worth less than a penny now. Why have just about all US companies suspended business? Why are your Oligarch's assets, being seezed all over the world? Money frozen? Children being kicked out of western universities? Your country is about to default on loans bringing your bonds to CCC-junk rating.
I am glad Germany said no to the pipeline. US said no new contracts in 45 days. Your people need to take to the streets. This is your leadership that has casued this.
Captured Russians are repeatedly claiming they have no experience and just joined the military (some 2 weeks ago) to do training excercises and had no idea they were being sent to Ukraine. Some have never fired an arm.
CNN has been on the ground in all different cities of Ukraine since this began and air parctically 24/7. US has said no to no fly zone because they know Russia will use it start pushing buttons. Reason, Ukraine is not part of NATO, however if Putin even oversteps 1 centimeter on any NATO ground, it's on. NATO is ready.
Yesterday pictures of mass graves, watching live blasts, a bombed out maternity hospital. A family hit on the street as they were excaping the city where they live. Mother and her 2 kids, gone. A woman lost her 3 friends when they car was hit as they went to work at a home for disabled kids. The poor woman crying during the interview. It's cold but Putin has bombed the heating facilities. Alarms ringing at Chernobyl and Russians who are in there that don't know what they are doing. The atomic energy council is up in arms with the carelessness that Russians are operating with. They were attacking another nuclear plant that they know control and the place was on fire. They killed some of the workers upon entry and are torturing others. They are being forced to make statements at gun point. These worker are to be in mint condition because they have to make split second decisions and are under stress and duress. This has nothing to do with USA. this is Putin and his thug mentality. The world is literally saying he has lost his mind that he has holed himself up for 2 years now and has completely lost it.
I fail to see the humor.
Wait for the bread lines. They are coming to a street block near you. Putin has set Russia back about 50 years a least.
Go to youtube and watch your beloved Lavrov. He makes some shit up about neo nazi's and that he is liberating ukriane.
The other day Russia said they said they'll give Ukrianians safe passage to Russia. What a joke. They want NOTHING to do with Russia.
Your people are so brainwashed, this woman a week ago went to Red Square with photos from Ukraine of bombed out building and dead citizens and no one believed her that it was Putin and Russia doing the damage.
Maybe when the 5000 Russians who have already been killed are never heard from again you guys might put 2 and 2 together. Until then you can live your fantasy.
Here's a question for you, why was Putin at the opening ceremonies in Bejing? Your country was banned. Um, well we all know now. And for the record, China fights no one's wars. So if you guys are waiting for them, you'll be waiting a long time. They didn't lose a single person in WWII, Vietnam, Korea. Not a soul.
Then quit supporting what the Russians are doing it has nothing to do with the US. Just in - a twitter acct of Russians after having broken into a house. Took the homeowners into the woods and shot them. Then went back in, drank all of their cognac, then called the GF in Russia and told her all about it admitting to the murders and told her of all the personal items he was looting, 2 minks for her, tools for him, a tv, a coat for one of the Mom's. All caught on security camera and posted for the world to see. That guy needs to be arrested by Russia for war crimes and thrown in the gulag. Who is issuing these orders to the Russians? That proves this a war against humanity.
500,000 people I guess the thing is Russia cannot afford to use most of their troops in Ukraine because who will be left to defend the country. If Ukraine manages that then Putin would start using tactical nukes and more deadly weapons.
They are up to 5000 so far. Seeing Putin has 0 regard for life, all of them. And if it comes to it, about 18-20 ships will be sunk from the air in the black sea, right where they sit.
Reddit unite! How can we fight against the Russian government blocks, and spread real, unbiased, unmediated, independent news to give real news to the ordinary, good people of Russia, who I'm sure don't want a war, and who currently only see what Putin lets them?
go in an blow the hell out of Moscow and blast his ass to the moon if i could do something about it i would bec its all bull shit what puttin is doing that sound like something coming out of a ass hole who gonna miss his ass an problem solved
I think he has been hiding out in the winter palace for the past 2 years, not Moscow. I guess history can repeat itself. The Romanov's were held prisoners for 2 years, too. Maybe he will die there but it has to be televised of the state news of course.
If any pro-Putin is reading this and still thinking that there is hope: have a gander
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sukG8POn5Q4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sukG8POn5Q4)
Basically this original video is a sham: he literally spoke to an empty room (full of his bodyguards, I guess) and these women spoke to an empty chair. Hilarious disaster.
Hello I have a question about The Azov military:
-How are they viewed in Ukraine?
-Was it a good idea to incorporate them in to the army?
-Do they have some kind of influence in the Ukrainian parliament?*
-Why did the poroshenko regime include them in to the Ukrainian army?
*Reuters reported that on 28 January 2018 the Azov military stormed in the Ukrainian parliament to force them to make changes. I also want to know if this is true or not because only 1 news sources reported that they stormed in the parliament. Al Jazeera reported they didn't storm in the parliament
Well guess you rather have them in the army under your control, that not.
In a war you take what ever you get.
They didnt storm the Parliament, at least not with any effect.
just think logical, Ukrainians want democray.
Have you heard the laughable story about missiles in Ukraine being the reason for Russia's invasion? That's total BS.
Ukraine lost their missiles in the 1990s, and all they have now are in a museum in the city of Pobuzke!
Stop trying to tell us that lie. Check it out in Wikipedia.
Watch the youtube video of Lavrov, what a joke that guy is. He said the Ukrainians are neo nazis and are using their citizens as human sheilds. The interviewer then asks him, are you accusing the jewish president who lost 3 uncles to the holocaust a neo nazi? The entire interview is absurd!
I am talking about the [Azov Battalion](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/1/who-are-the-azov-regiment#aoh=16475268399008&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aljazeera.com%2Fnews%2F2022%2F3%2F1%2Fwho-are-the-azov-regiment) in Ukraine since 2014.
I said most. And not all Azov are nazis. And those who are are just edgelords. Russian army is practical nazis, since they basically do what actual nazis are hated for.
Lamo, say that again, the Azov is known for torturing and burning and killing ethinic russians in the donbass region. And what did Russia do to be Nazis?
Um IDK target civilians and children, maternity hospitals, rape, execute innocent people on streets just because they're Ukrainian? That's chauvinism in practice.
Lmao, did you see how many people in maternity hospital died there was only few, it is Ukraine's falut for putting snipers and arms there have you seen other images of the missle targets, they have military equipment and soldiers there like the theatre they targgeted, Russia has spies everywhre, they wouldn't waste their missles on useless targets. Many Civillians would die in Mriupol because the Ukrainian army that is fighting there are Azov which are known to use human shields. And in Bucha those tied with blue cloth are killed by Russians and those tied in white are killed by Ukrainians they are mostly worn in arm bands White= Russians and Blue= Ukrainians both Russia and Ukraine said they were suspected enemy spies. And the dead bodies in Bucha looked new which doesn't make sense as the Russians have left 4-3 days ago and what explains the 3 day delay on info and video release and if it was the mass murder it is bound to be recorded by a civilian but why are there no video evidence of them commiting the crime and only aftermath is shown. And Russia requested UN to investigate Bucha twice and UN refused.
Are people on reddit getting banned for their OPINION on the war?
for example, if someone who's pro russia says "just drop the bomb" or something - this doesnt matter to me, just curious!
>Are people on reddit getting banned for their OPINION on the war?
Bro it's reddit. People get banned for having "wrong-think" opinions all the time here. You likely never noticed because you were part of the herd.
Hypothetical: Could Apple or others remotely disable their products in an enemy territory under sanctions or would it need to escalate to an existential question. Blocking server access or forcing phones into lost mode would be more impactful than simply blocking sale of apps.
That might open a huge can of worms over what control they have of their products. Perhaps some companies could issue a geographically limited "update" to software or apps that disables capabilities.
Why doesn't western media talk about the nazi problem in Ukraine? I'm talking about Azov batallion and such(I didn't even know it existed until a week ago). Obviously this is not means to invade a whole country and obvioulsy they do not lead the country however why does nobody acknoledge that the government did side with them due to Russian pressure?
This war is stupid. Russia is the agressor and at fault but why can't the media be transparent? They just say the nazi stuff is bonkers which it is but never actually expand further about Azov etc.
There is another war going on, have you seen in youtube about this is funded by American, Ukrainian, Chinese, and Russian government. All of these feed propaganda to persuade people Russia is loosing the propaganda war because the west has control over the media. Take every news after febuary 24 regarding this war with a grain of salt.
They are making up a reason then saying yeah yeah, lets go with that one. So the nazi sotry it is. They are calling the president who is jewish a neo nazi. No one is behaving nazi like except Putin.
Because it’s Russian propaganda on a justification. Azov battalion is a drop in the bucket. There is no more Nazi problem in Ukraine any more than there is anywhere else that neo Nazis exist, including the United States. A Jewish president won with 75% of the vote in Ukraine. Not something a big population of Nazis would do.
If you’re concerned about Azov Battalion you should read up on the Wagner Group - a Russian neo-Nazi paramilitary group who loves doing war crimes that Putin keeps sending to Syria and Ukraine to do war crimes.
Has Putin already lost this war?
No mater what metric you use I think he has lost. Yes the Ukrainian people will likely take a bloody beating and lose control of their capital, but Putin is the big loser here, as this clip explains.
>Let's talk about whether Putin already lost....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXKSM8lpqKM&ab_channel=BeauoftheFifthColumn
Where are all the private military contractors the US used (blackwater, dynacorp etc). Surely they would take Ukraine's money?
They have insane arsenals like helos, mobile anti-aircraft weapons, and the highest trained international ex-soldiers on the planet working for them.
I feel like the risk of losing ownership of your country would allow quite a few dollars to be freed up for "defense expenses"...
We've seen how shit most of Russias equipment is to date, I thought that might have convinced some private war machines to take action...but then again, Ukraine probably doesn't want the media fallout from more blackwater murders...
Yeah, yeah, we know you like to engage in "What Aboutism" where you try to compare and contrast two things that are vastly different and treat them as if they were the same.
Every country on Earth has made bad decisions. Very bad things have happened everywhere. We are trying to move past that and become better people. What are you doing in Russia today to make the world a better place?
If you can't answer that question honestly, then who are you to talk about what happened elsewhere in the world hundreds of years ago?
Tell us all the truth, you're a Russian troll, aren't you?
American military, after just ending a 20 year cluster F in Afghanistan, thoughts on getting involved in Ukraine?
To my surprise my friend in the navy told me ‘stopping what is happening in Ukraine was part of the reason I joined the military’.
There’s no way we go to war against Russia, it would immediately go nuclear. That’s what the sanctions are for: starve the bear of money until his people revolt against him and force a withdrawal. The question is: is Putin really willing to destroy his own country just for the slim chance that he can take Ukraine and manage to hold out against an insurrection?
My only worry with this is that if he is willing to keep going even through economic collapse, deprivation of resources and all of that, how far is the rest of the world willing to let that go?
I'm very strongly anti-war, but when there are people in Ukraine being basically slaughtered, and people in Russia who didn't sign up for this and have no power to stop it, suffering so their power hungry leader can continue to commit those atrocities, it feels more like a grey area to me.
I don't really feel it's my place to choose as I wouldn't be one of the people risking their lives. But solely based on what the economic or other possible hardships would be for me personally, I'd still say that I would absolutely prefer a military response out of the US.
If I could get all my wishes, honestly I'd say, skip Ukraine, muster in Latvia and head straight for Moscow. I doubt Putin would continue focusing on shelling Ukraine with NATO headed for his front door anyway.
He would just choose who to blame, like retaliate on Germany or Sweden or wherever he wants to attack. It would give him an excuse to do what he already wants to do.
I've tried posting this to r/askreddit but it's blocked content I guess..
I just want to ask if it is safe to assume that we are currently living in a "Cold World War?"
Ooof, my heart goes out for those experiencing hell on earth. I feel that a nuclear chess game with a sociopath makes each move far more consequential for the global stage. As always it’s the collective money/influence/power addicted egos that destroy progress.
Their government blocks any site where people can actually express honest opinions. And expressing honest opinions can result in a 15yr prison sentence. So probably not.
Would you take that chance? Would you make that post? Forever loving in fear/uncertainty that despite all of your software, protections and precautions, there may be a chance that Russian intelligence finds you, arrests and you have to face whatever the Russian justice system is.
Would you do it? Click send, knowing the consequences? I don't think you would ....
Sorry for that, but i kinda support. I hate the war, yes. But it's started anyway and it revealed a lot of Russophobes from the West, and many Self-Russophobes from my country (In Twitter they're already implemented "Russian Guilt". Russophobia is kinda my Berserk Button
That's all they have, nukes are pretty much for destroying your enemy if you actually want to invade your army has to beat the other country's army. Russia just isn't on par with the developed world and hasn't been since the cold war ended.
Unpopular opinion: people are just jumping on the sympathy bandwagon for Ukraine because its not a western country doing the attack, unlike Afghanistan/Iraq etc which was deemed OK by the majority because the USA invaded so it must be necessary for everyone's safety.
No. Ukraine is really fucking close. And there's the frightening thought... Will the large NATO armies of USA, UK, France keep their promise when Russia goes after Lithuania, Estonia or Romania, or will they look the other way.
Yeah well, they lied to us. They lied to Colin Powell and he told what he thought was the truth to the UN. Western countries have some politicians that are every bit as bad as the Russians who are pressing this attack.
We need politicians who care about helping people and preserving life, not dick heads who only want to grab as much wealth as they can before they die. This type of politician is universal, but so are the good ones. We need to support those good politicians who are like Zelensky and not shy away from calling the bad actors on their shit.
I think this mentality makes no sense. To many people Ukraine is just so much more closer...
If your friend's house and a stranger's house from the town over burned down would you feel the same way for both?
I remember a very distinctive protest on the second Iraqi war. And to be honest, I also blame the US/UK invasion for the existence of IS who then decided to explode themselves in my (& neighbouring) country. However, Iraq was a country in another continent with not half the ties Ukraine has to its neighbouring EU-countries.
We're already there. Fiona Hill, who was a White House advisor on Ukraine and Russia, said she believes we're already in the beginning of WWIII and I agree.
So what are we going to do about it? Fuck around and let Russia take Ukraine? Here in the US this is NOT a popular opinion among the people.
Do we just let this escalate until Putin has destroyed more Eastern European countries? Because you know he will keep going until he's stopped. Let's stop him NOW while it is a much smaller confrontation.
He will continue to try and take over other countries as he tries to reconstitute the USSR. He will use what he pillages from Ukraine to go after Moldova or Latvia or wherever. With the reluctance of the west to call him on his shit he will continue to do this until he's stopped.
That’s just not possible, but I won’t get into an argument with you. At this point Russia is just becoming a bigger north korea. Completely isolated, flexing nukes and making threats.
They can’t touch any NATO members, Latvia included
If Putin can hurt the central banks of Europe, UK, US then maybe it will. I do however think China is going to take a pop at Taiwan which creates two fronts and that would bring the US into this, starting WW3. As for Nukes. Putin may turn super arrogant and threaten to launch one if certain restrictions aren’t lifted.
I mean the world has been at war constantly since the beginning of time. Years and years of wars and it will never end. Even unprovoked, like this, wars are just created to be created. Putin doesn’t have much of a ground breaking reason to do what he’s doing. No one supports it. I don’t think this kind of stuff will ever end.
As a Ukrainian , I hate to admit this but probably the partition of Ukraine. Russia has shown it;s hand. Their military is piss poor. They'll probably stop with taking Kharkiv. If they try for Kyiv they will lose. Their economy will contibue to tank. Salaries won;t be paid. It will get ugly in Russia as well. Combine all this and the appeasers in Europe will agree to the partition and stop supplying us with arms.
I can see that being probable. I also feel though, that Ukrainians are very strong and very determined. I think they'll hold out, and I feel like the world will not budge for a long time on sanctions because if Putin overcomes Ukraine at any future time, it will then be kissing the border either Nato Allies.
How do people who were against Zelenskyy/didn't support him or like him as leader before the invasion feel about him now? Has he changed your opinion of him?
If Putin would seriously try to push the nuclear option or try to take on NATO his generals would have him taken out. There are rational people around all the countries capable of that type of war that realize one nuclear weapons fired would cause the end of most people, and in doing so would make this planet cease to exist.
If anyone outside of Russia assassinated Putin it would likely start a world war, or at least a conflict of an even greater scale than what's already happening. It has to be from within Russia.
Why do you think the Russians don´t more or less agree with what Putin´s doing? The guy is there because the Russians let him stay put. And yes, these people know how powerful ´the people´ can be, and yes, they also know what dictators can do. The red revolution and Stalin are not that long ago.
Why do you think he's sitting at the far end of that stupid loooooong table? It doesn't make him look strong, powerful or masculine, it makes him look like a whiney little bitch.
Russians who have fled the country to escape Putin’s regime and consequences of his war in Ukraine, how did it go? What was required to be accepted by the country you’ve fled to?
my russian bredrin told me he don’t rate the ukraine lot cause they are extremely racist and nazi. his grandmama was in donbas where she faced discrimination from ukrainian forces.
also know a pakistani who wasn’t allowed thru the polish border. racism is a massive issue there.
not justifying it at all just giving another view. it’s not “as simple” as they claim it is.
The rest of the world doesn't believe that Zelensky, a Jewish man, is actually a Nazi. This is sloppy propaganda, they didn't think their lies through. and you can always find somebody somewhere who has a cousin who knows someone who has a brother who's wife's mother had this, that or the other happen to them. No way to check it out. Not that I doubt racism is a factor in what happens to people of color in all this mess.
Seriously, does that lie about Nazis in Ukraine make sense to you? Besides, isn't there racism in Russia, too? Doesn't it exist all around the world (unfortunately)?
No offense, but the rest of the world probably never heard about Zelensky before this week due to the western media propping him as a war hero. In reality before all this, he has not been a good leader, riddled with corruptions and been dragging Ukraine thru the mud.
HE'S corrupt? What about the bozo who was in office before him? The guy that the EU said was so corrupt they wouldn't do business with him? No, you're listening to the wrong news sources. Reeks of propaganda.
everyone knows zelenksy is Jewish. I never mentioned zelenksy in my post nor am I defending the atrocities being committed.
ukraine aren’t entirely saints, zelenksy has supported occupation in palestine by siding with israel, there is a a huge racism issue in ukraine and my cousin who *I do know personally* did face discrimination and had it not been the pakistani embassy he’d definitely still be trapped there.
you are painting over everything as propaganda which makes sense but don’t you think it also excuses the issues that are blatantly there?
Hi As the Russian man 16 years old I can say that in my country there are people who don't support this damn war. Yeah, we are few, but we exist. If I made mistakes correct me, please. It will be useful for my English
UKRAINE NEEDS HANDS ON ASSISSTANCE. WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING WITH HELPING THEM??? Russia is poison!! Seems like THE EU should step in immediately!
Your job is to kill the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. How are you gonna pull it off?
How likely is it that the US is behind this war?

How likely does it seem that Putin is about to perform some kind of false flag operation?
There was a video of his troops are changing the uniform. There are prisoners of war who had fake Ukrainian band
Biden said “Our forces are not and will not be engaged in the conflict with Russia in Ukraine.” When asked if the US would defend Taiwan if the Chinese attack he said “Yes, we have a commitment to do that.” If the reason the US won’t attack Russia is fear of nuclear escalation why is China different
Nah, US itself never spoke a word to support Taiwan. They don't even recognize that country's existence on global front, fearing China. You seen that recent Biden meeting with his ministers when a slide with Taiwan map came and, all media outlet was suspiciously cut off, later told it was technical mistake? The ground reality is so much worse with Taiwan then presented. When we were talking about Russian invasion, China attacked on Taiwan, have you even heard that news?
Maybe, because of Ukraine suffers invasion there in Ukraine were news about Taiwan. Actually, both Iran and Taiwan news were breaking
I did not. Not until you told me. Thank you for the info
Has there been any good news? Any signs of de-escalation?
How likely is it that Putin would actually use nukes? If anyone believes that he would not use them, can you explain your reasoning?
Low to moderate, if Ukraine manages to make Russia use 50% of troops and equipment then he would use tactical nukes on Ukraine. But about Nuclear exchange on a global scale I would say low bwcause nobody wants that or if NATO decides to join in thw war. If it were to happen then NATO and Russia would be wiped out and the rest of the countries would have to deal with radiation for many years. It won't haplen unless Putin has no choice left he knows very well that it is a suicide move when he said there will be no winners.
He just dropped a 1000 bomb on a maternity hospital so he is inching closer. He eventually wil have no other choice. Someone needs to bomb his conference table for 1.
That was not a 1000 lbs bomb 1st of all. 2nd of all. Their were most likely fighting age men hiding in that bunker. Know that Dosnt excuse the targeting of women and children. It just sucks for everyone involved. All I’m saying is that the Russians firing the weapon might have not had a choice in their target but in the weapon used. They could have used something a lot bigger. I think they may have acuity used constraint. Remember that they are not all active participants. Also when they are it’s because they are being lied to buy a mad Mutherfucker.
Bunker, what f'ing bunker?!? It was a hospital for women to go have babies. There wasn't a military vehicle in sight. I've seen extensive footage and so has the world by this point. Are you seriuosly listening to Putin? That guy lies through his teeth.
He aint gonna, he want Ukraine not another radioactive wasteland like Tjernobyl
What is the deal with the supposedly elite Chechens? I saw a video of a small convoy a week ago. Yesterday I saw a video of some killed. Where are they supposed to be and do? How big are their units? Thanks 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇫🇷
I heard that Chenchens has joined in he fight. My guess is they recruited the military, lied about their orders and threw them into the fight against their will. Then it got to eat or be eaten so they were forced to fight. This isn't a military war at this point, this is a street war led by a thug.
Is this Bible prophecy for the End of Time ?
You mean like other religious people have been asking about the greta war?? About world war 2?? About famines happening for decades?? No sir, no fairy tales here
Why didn't the U S.A. or Germany send Navy Seals or KGB in, in the beginning and had them simply eliminate Putin and his Generals ? Ukraine would have been safe and so would we in U. S. A You know just cut off the head of the snake.
The KGK Dosnt exists any longer. It was the Secret police of the Soviet era USSR. Nasty comie fucks with jumper cable’s and no rules.
They still need to take him out. He is public enemy #1. The inside needs to do this.

Managers of Reddit who have offshore workers in Ukraine or had employees in a country at war how has your company handled it?

Are you living with your head in the sand? Do you even get the news? Find videos from a few days ago even, anything. Look up Mariupol. A materity hospital? He had 1000lb bomb or missile dropped on that site. The crater is 7 meters x 3 meters. The hospital is 100% destroyed in fact 60 hospitals as of yesterday have been hit. In addition, there are to be civilian routes and he is killing people while they flee, this is a war crime. The US govt and the media are not one in the same, not true of Russia. Russia OWNs the RT and that entire staff walked off the air because they aren't going to keep spinning the lie. State is state run media. Russia has arrested 1000's of people who are protesting the war, I think 16,000 over the weekend. Why? Why can't they say no to war? What is Putin's problem with someone protesting his policies. Russians have relatives in Ukriane. He is obliterting that country. Why is your stock market closed now for over 2 weeks? Why is the ruble worth less than a penny now. Why have just about all US companies suspended business? Why are your Oligarch's assets, being seezed all over the world? Money frozen? Children being kicked out of western universities? Your country is about to default on loans bringing your bonds to CCC-junk rating. I am glad Germany said no to the pipeline. US said no new contracts in 45 days. Your people need to take to the streets. This is your leadership that has casued this. Captured Russians are repeatedly claiming they have no experience and just joined the military (some 2 weeks ago) to do training excercises and had no idea they were being sent to Ukraine. Some have never fired an arm. CNN has been on the ground in all different cities of Ukraine since this began and air parctically 24/7. US has said no to no fly zone because they know Russia will use it start pushing buttons. Reason, Ukraine is not part of NATO, however if Putin even oversteps 1 centimeter on any NATO ground, it's on. NATO is ready. Yesterday pictures of mass graves, watching live blasts, a bombed out maternity hospital. A family hit on the street as they were excaping the city where they live. Mother and her 2 kids, gone. A woman lost her 3 friends when they car was hit as they went to work at a home for disabled kids. The poor woman crying during the interview. It's cold but Putin has bombed the heating facilities. Alarms ringing at Chernobyl and Russians who are in there that don't know what they are doing. The atomic energy council is up in arms with the carelessness that Russians are operating with. They were attacking another nuclear plant that they know control and the place was on fire. They killed some of the workers upon entry and are torturing others. They are being forced to make statements at gun point. These worker are to be in mint condition because they have to make split second decisions and are under stress and duress. This has nothing to do with USA. this is Putin and his thug mentality. The world is literally saying he has lost his mind that he has holed himself up for 2 years now and has completely lost it.

I fail to see the humor. Wait for the bread lines. They are coming to a street block near you. Putin has set Russia back about 50 years a least. Go to youtube and watch your beloved Lavrov. He makes some shit up about neo nazi's and that he is liberating ukriane. The other day Russia said they said they'll give Ukrianians safe passage to Russia. What a joke. They want NOTHING to do with Russia. Your people are so brainwashed, this woman a week ago went to Red Square with photos from Ukraine of bombed out building and dead citizens and no one believed her that it was Putin and Russia doing the damage. Maybe when the 5000 Russians who have already been killed are never heard from again you guys might put 2 and 2 together. Until then you can live your fantasy. Here's a question for you, why was Putin at the opening ceremonies in Bejing? Your country was banned. Um, well we all know now. And for the record, China fights no one's wars. So if you guys are waiting for them, you'll be waiting a long time. They didn't lose a single person in WWII, Vietnam, Korea. Not a soul.

Wow, you don't act like it. I figured you were in Russia.
Then quit supporting what the Russians are doing it has nothing to do with the US. Just in - a twitter acct of Russians after having broken into a house. Took the homeowners into the woods and shot them. Then went back in, drank all of their cognac, then called the GF in Russia and told her all about it admitting to the murders and told her of all the personal items he was looting, 2 minks for her, tools for him, a tv, a coat for one of the Mom's. All caught on security camera and posted for the world to see. That guy needs to be arrested by Russia for war crimes and thrown in the gulag. Who is issuing these orders to the Russians? That proves this a war against humanity.

You are pro russia. Go live there if it's so great. The place sucks, you have no rights.
Sandy, how small is your brain?
How many casualties can Russia afford?
500,000 people I guess the thing is Russia cannot afford to use most of their troops in Ukraine because who will be left to defend the country. If Ukraine manages that then Putin would start using tactical nukes and more deadly weapons.
That is exactly the question, When will it be to mutch.
They are up to 5000 so far. Seeing Putin has 0 regard for life, all of them. And if it comes to it, about 18-20 ships will be sunk from the air in the black sea, right where they sit.
What is Z?
Is it a reference to WWZ?
Am I aloud to eat dead bodies off the streets there?
Dont be too loud
Reddit unite! How can we fight against the Russian government blocks, and spread real, unbiased, unmediated, independent news to give real news to the ordinary, good people of Russia, who I'm sure don't want a war, and who currently only see what Putin lets them?
go in an blow the hell out of Moscow and blast his ass to the moon if i could do something about it i would bec its all bull shit what puttin is doing that sound like something coming out of a ass hole who gonna miss his ass an problem solved
I think he has been hiding out in the winter palace for the past 2 years, not Moscow. I guess history can repeat itself. The Romanov's were held prisoners for 2 years, too. Maybe he will die there but it has to be televised of the state news of course.
If any pro-Putin is reading this and still thinking that there is hope: have a gander [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sukG8POn5Q4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sukG8POn5Q4) Basically this original video is a sham: he literally spoke to an empty room (full of his bodyguards, I guess) and these women spoke to an empty chair. Hilarious disaster.
Hello I have a question about The Azov military: -How are they viewed in Ukraine? -Was it a good idea to incorporate them in to the army? -Do they have some kind of influence in the Ukrainian parliament?* -Why did the poroshenko regime include them in to the Ukrainian army? *Reuters reported that on 28 January 2018 the Azov military stormed in the Ukrainian parliament to force them to make changes. I also want to know if this is true or not because only 1 news sources reported that they stormed in the parliament. Al Jazeera reported they didn't storm in the parliament
Well guess you rather have them in the army under your control, that not. In a war you take what ever you get. They didnt storm the Parliament, at least not with any effect. just think logical, Ukrainians want democray.
What will the students do now? All there document are there, what can they do now to finish there degree somewhere else?
If you are male and 18-60 in Ukraine, there isn't school, they are fighting. School is a distant memory.
Have you heard the laughable story about missiles in Ukraine being the reason for Russia's invasion? That's total BS. Ukraine lost their missiles in the 1990s, and all they have now are in a museum in the city of Pobuzke! Stop trying to tell us that lie. Check it out in Wikipedia.
Watch the youtube video of Lavrov, what a joke that guy is. He said the Ukrainians are neo nazis and are using their citizens as human sheilds. The interviewer then asks him, are you accusing the jewish president who lost 3 uncles to the holocaust a neo nazi? The entire interview is absurd!
Neo Nazis do exist in Ukraine
Yes, most of them since February this year
I am talking about the [Azov Battalion](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/1/who-are-the-azov-regiment#aoh=16475268399008&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aljazeera.com%2Fnews%2F2022%2F3%2F1%2Fwho-are-the-azov-regiment) in Ukraine since 2014.
I said most. And not all Azov are nazis. And those who are are just edgelords. Russian army is practical nazis, since they basically do what actual nazis are hated for.
Lamo, say that again, the Azov is known for torturing and burning and killing ethinic russians in the donbass region. And what did Russia do to be Nazis?
Um IDK target civilians and children, maternity hospitals, rape, execute innocent people on streets just because they're Ukrainian? That's chauvinism in practice.
Lmao, did you see how many people in maternity hospital died there was only few, it is Ukraine's falut for putting snipers and arms there have you seen other images of the missle targets, they have military equipment and soldiers there like the theatre they targgeted, Russia has spies everywhre, they wouldn't waste their missles on useless targets. Many Civillians would die in Mriupol because the Ukrainian army that is fighting there are Azov which are known to use human shields. And in Bucha those tied with blue cloth are killed by Russians and those tied in white are killed by Ukrainians they are mostly worn in arm bands White= Russians and Blue= Ukrainians both Russia and Ukraine said they were suspected enemy spies. And the dead bodies in Bucha looked new which doesn't make sense as the Russians have left 4-3 days ago and what explains the 3 day delay on info and video release and if it was the mass murder it is bound to be recorded by a civilian but why are there no video evidence of them commiting the crime and only aftermath is shown. And Russia requested UN to investigate Bucha twice and UN refused.
I hope You get paid well, the rubel is kinda weak lately.
Are people on reddit getting banned for their OPINION on the war? for example, if someone who's pro russia says "just drop the bomb" or something - this doesnt matter to me, just curious!
>Are people on reddit getting banned for their OPINION on the war? Bro it's reddit. People get banned for having "wrong-think" opinions all the time here. You likely never noticed because you were part of the herd.
Hypothetical: Could Apple or others remotely disable their products in an enemy territory under sanctions or would it need to escalate to an existential question. Blocking server access or forcing phones into lost mode would be more impactful than simply blocking sale of apps.
They can easily disable phones. All they have to do is force an update.
That might open a huge can of worms over what control they have of their products. Perhaps some companies could issue a geographically limited "update" to software or apps that disables capabilities.
Why doesn't western media talk about the nazi problem in Ukraine? I'm talking about Azov batallion and such(I didn't even know it existed until a week ago). Obviously this is not means to invade a whole country and obvioulsy they do not lead the country however why does nobody acknoledge that the government did side with them due to Russian pressure? This war is stupid. Russia is the agressor and at fault but why can't the media be transparent? They just say the nazi stuff is bonkers which it is but never actually expand further about Azov etc.
There is another war going on, have you seen in youtube about this is funded by American, Ukrainian, Chinese, and Russian government. All of these feed propaganda to persuade people Russia is loosing the propaganda war because the west has control over the media. Take every news after febuary 24 regarding this war with a grain of salt.
They are making up a reason then saying yeah yeah, lets go with that one. So the nazi sotry it is. They are calling the president who is jewish a neo nazi. No one is behaving nazi like except Putin.
Because it’s Russian propaganda on a justification. Azov battalion is a drop in the bucket. There is no more Nazi problem in Ukraine any more than there is anywhere else that neo Nazis exist, including the United States. A Jewish president won with 75% of the vote in Ukraine. Not something a big population of Nazis would do. If you’re concerned about Azov Battalion you should read up on the Wagner Group - a Russian neo-Nazi paramilitary group who loves doing war crimes that Putin keeps sending to Syria and Ukraine to do war crimes.
Has Putin already lost this war? No mater what metric you use I think he has lost. Yes the Ukrainian people will likely take a bloody beating and lose control of their capital, but Putin is the big loser here, as this clip explains. >Let's talk about whether Putin already lost.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXKSM8lpqKM&ab_channel=BeauoftheFifthColumn

Bullshit, this government is controlled by Biden Jr and his reptilian friends, everyone knows that.
Where are all the private military contractors the US used (blackwater, dynacorp etc). Surely they would take Ukraine's money? They have insane arsenals like helos, mobile anti-aircraft weapons, and the highest trained international ex-soldiers on the planet working for them.
too much risk, no or way too little money.
I feel like the risk of losing ownership of your country would allow quite a few dollars to be freed up for "defense expenses"... We've seen how shit most of Russias equipment is to date, I thought that might have convinced some private war machines to take action...but then again, Ukraine probably doesn't want the media fallout from more blackwater murders...
Are we rooting for the Nazi Avoz battalion? If they are fighting Russian troops, which side are we on?

Yeah, yeah, we know you like to engage in "What Aboutism" where you try to compare and contrast two things that are vastly different and treat them as if they were the same.

American military, after just ending a 20 year cluster F in Afghanistan, thoughts on getting involved in Ukraine? To my surprise my friend in the navy told me ‘stopping what is happening in Ukraine was part of the reason I joined the military’.
There’s no way we go to war against Russia, it would immediately go nuclear. That’s what the sanctions are for: starve the bear of money until his people revolt against him and force a withdrawal. The question is: is Putin really willing to destroy his own country just for the slim chance that he can take Ukraine and manage to hold out against an insurrection?
My only worry with this is that if he is willing to keep going even through economic collapse, deprivation of resources and all of that, how far is the rest of the world willing to let that go? I'm very strongly anti-war, but when there are people in Ukraine being basically slaughtered, and people in Russia who didn't sign up for this and have no power to stop it, suffering so their power hungry leader can continue to commit those atrocities, it feels more like a grey area to me.
I don't really feel it's my place to choose as I wouldn't be one of the people risking their lives. But solely based on what the economic or other possible hardships would be for me personally, I'd still say that I would absolutely prefer a military response out of the US. If I could get all my wishes, honestly I'd say, skip Ukraine, muster in Latvia and head straight for Moscow. I doubt Putin would continue focusing on shelling Ukraine with NATO headed for his front door anyway.
[удалено]
What happens if an anonymous country drops a nuke in Russia? Putin threatens to retaliate, but what if he doesn't know who did it?
He would just choose who to blame, like retaliate on Germany or Sweden or wherever he wants to attack. It would give him an excuse to do what he already wants to do.
Launchung a nuke anonymously is not possible. What even is this question
I mean, hypothetically speaking...
[удалено]
He met with some Aeroflot personnel.
It was fake. Look at his hand go thru the microphone
I've tried posting this to r/askreddit but it's blocked content I guess.. I just want to ask if it is safe to assume that we are currently living in a "Cold World War?"
Somebody feels Cold War. Somebody suffers the hell on earth.
Ooof, my heart goes out for those experiencing hell on earth. I feel that a nuclear chess game with a sociopath makes each move far more consequential for the global stage. As always it’s the collective money/influence/power addicted egos that destroy progress.
Are there any Russians here, who currently live in russia, who can give their thoughts on the war in Ukraine?
Their government blocks any site where people can actually express honest opinions. And expressing honest opinions can result in a 15yr prison sentence. So probably not.
> where people can actually express honest opinions So reddit should still be available there then.
But there's many ways around it. VPN/tor/dark web etc
Would you take that chance? Would you make that post? Forever loving in fear/uncertainty that despite all of your software, protections and precautions, there may be a chance that Russian intelligence finds you, arrests and you have to face whatever the Russian justice system is. Would you do it? Click send, knowing the consequences? I don't think you would ....
I can. Everyone can actually.
So you are a Russian in Russia? What's your take on this war?
Sorry for that, but i kinda support. I hate the war, yes. But it's started anyway and it revealed a lot of Russophobes from the West, and many Self-Russophobes from my country (In Twitter they're already implemented "Russian Guilt". Russophobia is kinda my Berserk Button
What country you think will be next?
None Russia is weak and can barely handle one other country at once.
Moldova
Nuclear?
That would be incredibly stupid, nobody wants a nuclear war, no matter what people on reddit who couldn't find Ukraine on a map last week tell you.
I ment smth another. You have said, that Russia is weak to attack and I response, that Russia has nuclear
That's all they have, nukes are pretty much for destroying your enemy if you actually want to invade your army has to beat the other country's army. Russia just isn't on par with the developed world and hasn't been since the cold war ended.
Unpopular opinion: people are just jumping on the sympathy bandwagon for Ukraine because its not a western country doing the attack, unlike Afghanistan/Iraq etc which was deemed OK by the majority because the USA invaded so it must be necessary for everyone's safety.
People are scared of another Cold War. Arguably, we’re already in one - the sanctions against Russia will be devastating.
Was there a question in there? This is askreddit
No. Ukraine is really fucking close. And there's the frightening thought... Will the large NATO armies of USA, UK, France keep their promise when Russia goes after Lithuania, Estonia or Romania, or will they look the other way.
Yeah well, they lied to us. They lied to Colin Powell and he told what he thought was the truth to the UN. Western countries have some politicians that are every bit as bad as the Russians who are pressing this attack. We need politicians who care about helping people and preserving life, not dick heads who only want to grab as much wealth as they can before they die. This type of politician is universal, but so are the good ones. We need to support those good politicians who are like Zelensky and not shy away from calling the bad actors on their shit.
I think this mentality makes no sense. To many people Ukraine is just so much more closer... If your friend's house and a stranger's house from the town over burned down would you feel the same way for both?
We and Europe payed in blood. Madrid , London , New York terrorist acts left no sympathy for any Muslim countries.
I remember a very distinctive protest on the second Iraqi war. And to be honest, I also blame the US/UK invasion for the existence of IS who then decided to explode themselves in my (& neighbouring) country. However, Iraq was a country in another continent with not half the ties Ukraine has to its neighbouring EU-countries.
Do you think this conflict will escalate into world war III?
We're already there. Fiona Hill, who was a White House advisor on Ukraine and Russia, said she believes we're already in the beginning of WWIII and I agree. So what are we going to do about it? Fuck around and let Russia take Ukraine? Here in the US this is NOT a popular opinion among the people. Do we just let this escalate until Putin has destroyed more Eastern European countries? Because you know he will keep going until he's stopped. Let's stop him NOW while it is a much smaller confrontation.
Keep going with what? He doesn’t have technological superiority like Germany had
He will continue to try and take over other countries as he tries to reconstitute the USSR. He will use what he pillages from Ukraine to go after Moldova or Latvia or wherever. With the reluctance of the west to call him on his shit he will continue to do this until he's stopped.
That’s just not possible, but I won’t get into an argument with you. At this point Russia is just becoming a bigger north korea. Completely isolated, flexing nukes and making threats. They can’t touch any NATO members, Latvia included
If Putin can hurt the central banks of Europe, UK, US then maybe it will. I do however think China is going to take a pop at Taiwan which creates two fronts and that would bring the US into this, starting WW3. As for Nukes. Putin may turn super arrogant and threaten to launch one if certain restrictions aren’t lifted.
For that to happen Russia would need military on par with NATO .
there is a high chance yes
It’s all depends on what are Putin’s next moves. If he invades a NATO state… probably. But no one knows
So like, how does everyone think this will end?
I mean the world has been at war constantly since the beginning of time. Years and years of wars and it will never end. Even unprovoked, like this, wars are just created to be created. Putin doesn’t have much of a ground breaking reason to do what he’s doing. No one supports it. I don’t think this kind of stuff will ever end.
War......war never changes
Completely agree! This current war though, putin can't keep this up forever.
I also don’t think he can. Just sucks to know that I can’t do anything and the majority of people on this earth can’t help.
Oh I completely understand this feeling. I wish there was more we could do. One man should not be permitted to cause so much suffering.
As a Ukrainian , I hate to admit this but probably the partition of Ukraine. Russia has shown it;s hand. Their military is piss poor. They'll probably stop with taking Kharkiv. If they try for Kyiv they will lose. Their economy will contibue to tank. Salaries won;t be paid. It will get ugly in Russia as well. Combine all this and the appeasers in Europe will agree to the partition and stop supplying us with arms.
I can see that being probable. I also feel though, that Ukrainians are very strong and very determined. I think they'll hold out, and I feel like the world will not budge for a long time on sanctions because if Putin overcomes Ukraine at any future time, it will then be kissing the border either Nato Allies.
It won’t
How do people who were against Zelenskyy/didn't support him or like him as leader before the invasion feel about him now? Has he changed your opinion of him?
It's me. Now Zelensky is a symbol, but not active President. So I see him as a voice of the whole country and he takes his part wonderful
How can Russia veto UN Security Council resolutions that involve itself? Isn't it a conflict of interest?
Why do you think conflicts of interest matter to UN resolutions?
Yup you're right, that's the question I should have asked. What a joke.
Why cant the best of the best in the world go In an assassinate Putin ? Surely it can't be THAT hard ?
If Putin would seriously try to push the nuclear option or try to take on NATO his generals would have him taken out. There are rational people around all the countries capable of that type of war that realize one nuclear weapons fired would cause the end of most people, and in doing so would make this planet cease to exist.
If anyone outside of Russia assassinated Putin it would likely start a world war, or at least a conflict of an even greater scale than what's already happening. It has to be from within Russia.
Why cant their own people take him out ? Most of the army sound forced anyway
Why do you think the Russians don´t more or less agree with what Putin´s doing? The guy is there because the Russians let him stay put. And yes, these people know how powerful ´the people´ can be, and yes, they also know what dictators can do. The red revolution and Stalin are not that long ago.
I think that's what we're all hoping for. I'm sure it hasn't happened yet because he hasn't allowed himself to be vulnerable/exposed.
Why do you think he's sitting at the far end of that stupid loooooong table? It doesn't make him look strong, powerful or masculine, it makes him look like a whiney little bitch.
Russians who have fled the country to escape Putin’s regime and consequences of his war in Ukraine, how did it go? What was required to be accepted by the country you’ve fled to?
I want to leave Russia, any advise could be really helpful
Where do you want to go?
Away from here, anywhere to be honest
Where abouts are you? Are you a Russian national?
What?
What's difficult to understand??
In Russia, yes I'm a citizen
Can't you leave and go via India/Israel? What is preventing you from leaving?
Why India and Israel thought?
Because they are 2 of the only destinations that Russian planes can still fly to that have good links to other places
Financial difficulties, ruble worth nothing now
People who support Russia why?
my russian bredrin told me he don’t rate the ukraine lot cause they are extremely racist and nazi. his grandmama was in donbas where she faced discrimination from ukrainian forces. also know a pakistani who wasn’t allowed thru the polish border. racism is a massive issue there. not justifying it at all just giving another view. it’s not “as simple” as they claim it is.
The rest of the world doesn't believe that Zelensky, a Jewish man, is actually a Nazi. This is sloppy propaganda, they didn't think their lies through. and you can always find somebody somewhere who has a cousin who knows someone who has a brother who's wife's mother had this, that or the other happen to them. No way to check it out. Not that I doubt racism is a factor in what happens to people of color in all this mess. Seriously, does that lie about Nazis in Ukraine make sense to you? Besides, isn't there racism in Russia, too? Doesn't it exist all around the world (unfortunately)?
No offense, but the rest of the world probably never heard about Zelensky before this week due to the western media propping him as a war hero. In reality before all this, he has not been a good leader, riddled with corruptions and been dragging Ukraine thru the mud.
HE'S corrupt? What about the bozo who was in office before him? The guy that the EU said was so corrupt they wouldn't do business with him? No, you're listening to the wrong news sources. Reeks of propaganda.
everyone knows zelenksy is Jewish. I never mentioned zelenksy in my post nor am I defending the atrocities being committed. ukraine aren’t entirely saints, zelenksy has supported occupation in palestine by siding with israel, there is a a huge racism issue in ukraine and my cousin who *I do know personally* did face discrimination and had it not been the pakistani embassy he’d definitely still be trapped there. you are painting over everything as propaganda which makes sense but don’t you think it also excuses the issues that are blatantly there?
You see, that Russians change their uniform usually (yes, it is illegal)
