I’m at Russia right now, I’ve been to Ukraine more than dozen times including twice to Crimea (Ukrainian at time of visit) and numerous times to Donbass (as Donetsk is literally hometown of my father). What’s next? Have you ever been to one of the listed places yourself or are you just fantasizing from other side of the world?

Donbas is part of Ukraine.

Donbass was part of sovereign pre-2014 Ukrainian state. The people of Donbass will not bow to the ethno-state insurrectionists who overthrew the constitutional goverment. In any case, it’s some kind of karma that American fans of post-Maidan Ukraine would have orange bigot imposed on them before the end of this year.

It means getting their asses out of every part of Ukraine that they’ve been infiltrating, including Crimea too.

Last census held by Ukraine in 2001 has shown that nearly 60% inhabitants of Crimea were Russians. How you can drive them out without ethnic cleansing? Well, it’s obvious that it’s impossible to be supportive towards current Ukrainian regime without being at least a bit nazi.

Only cool people are capable of doing it

What’s the weather like in Moscow?

Thanks for asking, it was around +10 degrees per Celsius this afternoon, which is quite warm for this time of the year. But there is a downside as there’s melting snow everywhere.

You know what also would have saved lives, and reduced tensions? Not going to war in the first place, the fact is that Putte was the one to attack and start this whole shitshow means that Russia is in the wrong, not Ukraine.

This profound analysis is a real gem of modern Western thought!

Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporhizhia, Kherson, Crimea

Only abovementioned 5 regions had referendums and therefore fall into “Russia considers part of Russia” category as they are really treated as Russian regions by Russian law. Any other regions of Ukraine are not, at least currently.

His offer for Ukraine is surrender. Ukraine would need to give up the 4 oblasts that Russia considers part of Russia, including their 2nd and 3rd largest cities.

Both 2nd and 3rd largest cities of Ukraine are outside of borders of 5 contested regions.

The funny thing is that nearly half of transnistrians already have Russian citizenship. Even the funnier thing is that nearly quarter of transnistrians hold Ukrainian passports and have by far higher chances to be drafted during upcoming mobilization. And the funniest thing is that some of them have both citizenships simultaneously effectively meaning that they can choose the side to be drafted for.

U.S. and Ukrainian officials say that the best Ukraine’s military can hope for in the coming year, especially without more American aid, is to defend its current positions. Even so, Biden officials say they are not entertaining the idea of pressing Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to negotiate with Mr. Putin.

This is the most eloquent. If you can’t fight a war for win, then it’s reasonable to try to gain some better results through negotiations. But the white masters don’t care about the losses of aboriginals.
