'My home too': For Russians in Ukraine, the motherland is now the enemy • FRANCE 24 English
Переглядів 388,745
2 роки томуBefore the start of the war, thousands of Russian nationals lived in Ukraine, many of whom now find themselves torn between their country of origin and the place they have come to call home. Some, like 40-year-old Andrey Sidorkine who has lived in Kyiv for 15 years, say they are willing to take up arms against invading Russian forces to protect their adopted country.

Desperately trying to shout over the fact their land is a S-hole and over the lack of achievements in anything constructive EVER. They LOVE to humiliate others for their happiness and independence, looking helplessly as they progress while they're going NOWHERE. I'll tell you a secret: nobody likes them and their land and will not start liking it when you attack their land and people.

It is important to have strong laws which applies to everyone to ensure the balance.

It seems that small groups of Ukraine operatives could secretly move across the border into Russia on foot with a small number of Javelin Missiles and work their way towards some good targets. Once they were in range of the targets, dig a hole to bury the launch assembly, then fire the missiles and bury the launchers and all other gear except the civilian clothes they would wear afterwards.

Draw a better inclusion plan for Russian speaking Ukrainians. 3. Remain a neutral country(non-alignment). Withdraw your NATO membership application. Why? NATO will benefit from you more than you do from them. You can maintain friendship with Western countries,but not joining NATO. Finally peace will reign. People will return to rebuild their lives.

I don't think such elitary formations like Azov and also the free russian legions accept people without previous military experience, so he's got bad luck in this sense. It's good he's doing something to help regardless of that. Also it sucks for russian people who had been living in Ukraine for so long out of own free will and want to remain there, because russian state will not cooperate with them to provide paperwork needed to extend their visas. Once they would go to russia to even try to get it done, they'd be arrested and put on trial for supporting Ukraine.
