I hope Russia will leave like in Afghanistan, finally ending the war.
Well it did take 10 years for them to backpedal in Afghanistan… I hope here it happens sooner.
That’s right. Let’s hope the situation solves much faster!
The tenth anniversary of this war is next year.
How will that happen and how will that end the war? Ukraine wants Crimea which is 100% Russian.
100% by what metric? Unironically curious, lol

Whether they consider themselves Russian is a slippery slope of an argument --and not only because I doubt you have trustworthy sources to back this claim. There are many regions in the world where minorities or even significant local majorities consider themselves separate nations.
If your argument that political power grows from the barrel of the gun is to be followed, then there’s no problem with Ukraine using said power to take over Crimea, should they have that capability. That kind of follows from your own logic.
Yeah, exactly. Those who didn’t consider themselves Russians have been purged long ago, forcibly deported and driven out from their lands since the early Soviet times.
Tatars and Ukrainians have been targets of ethnic cleansing since a long time in Crimea, and therefore Russia should be granted the land as a prize. Just like with
KoenigsbergKaliningrad, it’s very easy, if you kill and deport everyone in an area, then that area is yours.
Well a good offense is a good defense. I’m not surprised that this is happening at all and I don’t think anyone should be.
Had there been a time in history where the world sided with aggressor?
let’s just take a look at the world shall we

the whole world from Arabia to India to China stands with Russia. Z.
Basic maths to find out that Pro-Russia is more widely held take than Pro-Ukraine.
Because the west invades countries first, Russia doesn’t. Georgia invaded South Ossetia, and Ukraine invaded Donbass.
You should get a refund from wherever you took basic maths.I stand corrected.
you should follow your own advice https://ecfr.eu/publication/united-west-divided-from-the-rest-global-public-opinion-one-year-into-russias-war-on-ukraine/
Fair enough. I have updated my earlier comment.
It began many days ago but he doesn’t want to admit because they were losing so far.
He only admitted it now because they started winning.
Why would he have announed the counteroffensive? It would only have helped the Russians. He’s declaring it now because it is obvious. And because the offensive is making gains as you say.
Because you expect them to tell the world and rhte russians when they are attacking?
My god, is lemmy infiltrated with Russian sympathizers worse than other platforms?
yes!!! they’re everywhere and anytime I see someone bring it up someone comments some shit about having an open mind… uhhh no???
I figured the tankies would have a decent foothold here. Hopefully their influence wanes as more people sign up.
