Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

Sure, if they want to lay claim on Kyiv, does that mean they should give them that too??

Their Region is in Donbas, and if this goes outside of their region then there aren't really point of accepting anything. Because if they can lay claim on Odessa, they can lay claim to any or all Ukrainian City or Oblast.

That is the whole point. Putin doesn't believe Ukraine is an independent country and is of the opinion over half of the territories given to them happened via mistake made by Lenin

The point is, if this is the case, then why bother listing it in the first place? Why even extend this "deal" to begin with, you think Russia will believe Ukrainian would fall for this quickie?

I don't think the Ukrainians would even fail for Donbass but the Russians want to give impossible options the Ukrainians can't agree to in order to take the whole country

Correct me if I am wrong, but this looks like the vehicle was hit from above?

"Putin doesn't believe Ukraine is an independent country"

This is the intolerable level of lies and propaganda to which we have become accustomed as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

This Ukraine crisis started in 2008 and 2014, the Russian government has been very patient. What it asked for was fair and reasonable: (1) stop killing Russian-Ukrainians and (2) a neutral Ukraine.

Now, after this colossal tragedy, Ukraine will no longer be 'independent' and 'free' to threaten Russia.

The republics of Donetsk and Luhansk could lay claim on it..

I think this map is kind of bull. Crimea had a far larger percentage of Russians and the percentage in the rest of the areas is just too small. Unless they probably considered Russian-speaking people as Ukrainians. It doesn't add-up. There are way more Russians and pro-Russians especially in the East.

Just the beginning of the xenophobia against ordinary Russians. Many Muslims will know what it feels like:

In this video an alleged Ukrainian man is harassing this Russian owned souvenir store in Portugal yelling “we don’t need moskals here”.

Moskal is a pejorative term for Russians.

Below Bulgarian students vandalise a memorial depicting soviet troops liberating Bulgaria from the Nazis in WWII:

Bulgarians have changed sides a gazillion times in modern history.

1912 Bulgaria joins the Balkan League against the Ottoman Empire
1913 they attack their former Balkan League allies
WWI they ally themselves with the Germans and Ottomans
WWII they ally themselves with the Germans and switch sides when the Soviets are about to invade Bulgaria
Cold War they become part of the Warsaw Pact
After the Cold War they join NATO

There are not enough troop to take the whole country, Law Enforcement effort alone would need at least twice the amount of the current Russia Troop in Ukraine, then you have the Construction Side (Hearts and Mind) and Military Operation Side. You will need approximate 3 to 4 times the troop they have in Ukraine right now. Not to mention you are talking about a 45 millions hostile population, not the 1.3 million in Chechen.

And all that the Russian have to done on top of being Sanction....

The hundreds of Indian students stuck in SUMY university in Ukraine is being highlighted in last night’s news on one of the major news channels (NBC) here in the US.

India has had to reach out to Putin to try to find a way to get their students out. Seems like their MEA is dropping the ball on doing it themselves.

The Russians dismantled the USSR and hoped in return to be accepted in the West (which is an old wish) and that NATO would not consider them their enemy.

But the Anglo-imperial oligarchy suffers from a deep, pathological and incurable Russophobia that permeates everything, and London and Washington have been spitting on the USSR's tomb/grave for 30 years.

And the matter has culminated in demands for 'freedom' to kill Russian-Ukrainians and 'independence' to corner and threaten Russia.

So why doesn't Russia attack the "anglo-imperial oligarchy"? Why does Russia need to extend its empire into Ukraine?

BTW, Roamanian courts just seized 650 million Euro in assets from Russian owned Lukoil relating to their criminal activities.
