Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part3

Russians "training" in the army, sweeping squares, cleaning toilets and building houses for generals [INTERVIEW]​

Rosjanie "szkoląc się" w armii zamiatali place, czyścili toalety i budowali domy dla generałów [WYWIAD]

Ukraińcy dzielnie walczą z rosyjskim najeźdźcą. Wśród walczących są zawodowi wojskowi ale również cywile. Zdarza się, że do oddziałów dołączają osoby, które wcześniej nie mogły trafić do wojska ze względu na różne okoliczności. Moim rozmówcą jest dzisiaj Ukrainiec pochodzenia afrykańskiego...

This sums it up. Prior to the invasion his popularity was waning, but as written if Zelensky was perceived to be unpopular the Ukrainians would have resolved it and certainly did not need Russia's interference.

How do you, soldiers at the front, perceive President Zelensky?
As commander in chief. He is not an unambiguous person and not everyone likes him. I am not a supporter of his party, but he rose to the occasion. He took up the fight, so during the war he is the commander in chief and we are loyal to him - this issue is not open to discussion. We'll talk about everything else after winning the war. Putin believed that if most Ukrainians were disappointed with Zelensky, the Ukrainians would not fight, as evidenced by his speech to the Armed Forces. Ukrainians are rarely satisfied with their leaders. We have it in our blood from our Cossack ancestors, but it is an internal matter of the Ukrainians.It was foolish to hope that the Ukrainians, when threatened from outside, would rebel against their power. We are free people. We can argue, protest. We may be dissatisfied

If he baled, and took the American ride to a government-in-exile in Cracow, he'd not have had an increase in popularity or people would not have rallied around him.

Hate to say it but Ukraine did provoke cultural and language reforms 3 years ago. We cannot turn a blind eye to things like this while still opposing BEE laws and the ANC's continued discrimination against the Afrikaans language. The whole stance of both sides just smacks of hypocrisy and double standards and has only gotten worse.

Ukraine passes language law, irritating president-elect and Russia

Ukraine's parliament approved a law on Thursday that grants special status to the Ukrainian language and makes it mandatory for public sector workers, a move Russia described as divisive and said discriminated against Russian-speakers.

They voted (for Ukrainians, on Ukrainian soil) to move away from the language of the people who had literally invaded in 2014 and annexed their territory and were actively engaging in war on the eastern side of the country.

Is that not fair?

Succinct and precise.

The very fact that Ukraine chose to fight and not capitulate when Russia rolled over the border speaks louder than ANYTHING Putin and his lackeys can say.

Fck off Russia, go home - Ukrainians don't want you in their country.

The new legislation requires TV and film distribution firms to ensure 90 percent of their content is in Ukrainian and for the proportion of Ukrainian-language printed media and books to be at least 50 percent.

So not banned at all, just getting AA, EE 'd

Russians are calling Ukrainians “Nazis” and Ukrainians are calling Russians “ Nazis”. Who’s more correct?

Answer (1 of 57): Depends on what aspect of “nazi,” you are applying. For example, if you are focused upon comparison to the nazis’ aggression towards the people they blamed for their problems, it would be Russia. Russia (at least as voiced by Putin) is laser-focused on vengeance for its list of...

The Zbots will be along shortly to:

A- Say this was justified, because Donbas.
B- Say these were Ukrainian missiles.
C- Say this was photoshopped.
D- Say this was a false flag operation.
E- Say the little girl was asking for this because Ukraine refuses to surrender.
F- Say the little girl is actually a child actor and it was all staged.
G- Say the little girl has "Nazi" tattoos.
H- Say it is all of the above.

Don't you love when American MSM says something, and all the conspiracy nuts go ' We told you so, but MSM is hiding it'

The level of sensationalism of the conspiracy nuts is off the chart.

Months ago CIA made statement that they wont comment on the help they provide to Ukraine , why should they?

Ever hear GRU discussing their whereabouts and activities?

Russia in historic default as Ukraine sanctions cut off payments

Russia defaulted on its international bonds for the first time in more than a century, the White House and Moody's credit agency said, as sweeping sanctions have effectively cut the country off from the global financial system, rendering its assets untouchable.

The Russians have seriously turned the Z into a swastika design?

 

[deathprophet215]

Who is Putin liberating? There are Russians fighting in the Ukrainian army.

Who was any of the Allies post-WW2 liberating in their multiple wars? Were they liberating Vietnam? Iraq? Afghanistan? Serbia? Falkland Islands?

No one is winning, Russia is stuck in the east and has failed to gain most of its objectives, internationally it is going to be a pariah for years if not decades and its economy is going to take a massive hit.

Ukraine is suffering with thousands of its citizens being killed, massive damage and displaced citizens, blockaded ports and human rights abuses by the invaders.

But you just pop out from under your bridge and make stupid posts like you did...

"Ukraine is suffering with thousands of its citizens being killed" - You mean the country that supported the ANC? And now after having supported my geopolitical enemy you expect me to care about what their enemies do to them? Think again.

Guess what, after the English stole this land, my people fled to different places too, you had Boer colonies in Mexico, Kenya, you name it. Ukrainians never did anything for me, except support the people that now treat me as a second-class citizen.

Also, "no one is winning", whilst the invading army is capturing strategic point after strategic point grinding what's left of the Ukrainian military to dust. Keep seething.

 

[deathprophet215]

The only people Russian soldiers are winning against are innocent civilians.

Just like the rest of the Allies, the English and Americans like doing that themselves, for some reason I'm supposed to consider that more just than when Russians do it. Russians didn't put my great grandparents and their family in concentration camps, they did support the ANC though, but then again so did the USA and England. I honestly couldn't be bothered.
