    “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.

    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.

            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.

            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.

              Russian-speaking people were really oppressed in Ukraine and even killed. Proper investigations and punishments of the perpetrators were not carried out. I’m sorry, you’ll hardly understand me.

                Oh, well, why didn’t you say so? That absolutely justifies killing the women and kidnapping the children. Not.

                Of course, Putin is such a caring and sensitive guy. Lol. Absolutely not known for having people who disagree with him assassinated. LMAO. Just good old misunderstood uncle Vova. He’s really a great guy if you just look past all the murder and war.

                My brother in Marx, this shit stopped being hilarious a century ago. The fact that you all so easily and repeatedly fall for the same shit every time. Just because someone is technically an enemy of the West does not make them an ally of the proletariat or you.

                They really weren’t, a lot of Ukrainians inside and outside of Ukraine keep talking Russian. Not because they like Russia, or because “Ukraine doesn’t exist”, but because any language is just a way to communicate. But Russian propaganda tries to tie language to political views.
                I speak English, but I don’t give a fuck about UK or it’s king. How is the situation with Russian, which is less popular in comparison, but still an international communication language in many places around the world, any different?
