"UM ACTUALLY RUSSIA IS ANTI-IMPERIALIST AND IS ONLY HUNTING AZOV NAZIS, YOU SHITLIB!!!"

Jokes aside, sad to see that the people being sacrificed are all folk away from Moscow.

It's SOP for authoritarians. Keep those around you who could hold you responsible comfortable and loyal. So you can exploit those who can't. Were seeing it all over the world including the US.

Of course relatively few comrades from the imperial core are actually sacrificed; it is the plebs from the outer regions who have to give their lives to bring Mother Russia glory again...

War is stupid

It's BBC, how they can get accurate data? At least Russia has tried many times to conduct diplomatic negotiations to prevent war, but no one wanted to listen. War is never good.

“Give us control of this country or we will kill everyone in it” is not a valid negotiation strategy.

Some of the requirements may not have been quite adequate, иut Ukraine did not even try to fix very minor things to avoid war. Russia did not immediately try to capture the whole of Ukraine, it was Ukraine that started military operations and shooting, but could have sought the return of territories through peaceful actions. No Russia would have retained the territories if 60% or more of the population really supported Ukraine.

Wow, those mental gymnastics. If there were an Olympic category you'd fit right in. Russia, the aggressor. Did everything they could to avoid war? Besides not starting it of course. I may just be an anarkiddy, but damn this is hilarious.

By this logic the people of Poland supported Hitler because how else could the Nazis have maintained control of the areas? And how did Ukraine start military operations? Are you referring to the conflict between them and the Donetsk and Luhansk proto-states? That's not with Russia. That was against separatists. Russia would 100% respond even worse if an oblast declared independence and tried to breakaway.

People in the Kherson and Zap oblast fled the areas Russia invaded.

With the rate being so low for Moscow, it's no wonder they feel like everything is rosy and that the great leader is doing a good job at fighting off the whole Western world that was going to invade the motherland via its puppet Ukraine.

Is there not one of these that's more up to date? Would be interesting how much this trend has held since then.
