Russia started this war and with over 800,000 dead, wounded, or missing Russian soldiers, the Russian people still have not protested their war of choice. This is on them.
It used to be occasional letters or found diaries that gave use a glimpse. Now it will be data from millions proving the true toll of war. Incredibly sad.
I suppose you’re saying this image is fake. Which, it very well could be for all I know. But my point remains. And if you think there aren’t thousands upon thousands of phones with similar desperate searches on them in regions of modern war, you’re fooling yourself.
People are literally being arrested in Russia right now for saying that. Illegal to question the military or criticise the war; punishment, Gulag. Talk is cheap where you live.
They need to settle this immediately, even if that means ceding territory and resigning to the fact of being a neutral state. The cost of continuation and hemorrhaging territory is too high; the long-term must be kept in mind. It is a terribly bleak reality right now.
dont be naive, putin will just try again in a few years... like he allready tried once.. this need to be settled here and now not some BS peace that wont last.
Don’t be naive? What is your solution then since you must not be naive? Ukraine either agrees to a bad deal now or it becomes a catastrophic deal months or years down the road. They are in an awful situation. You’re ignoring the reality on the ground and diplomatically right now.
I’m not sure your angle here, though your observation is correct. And Putin’s request is for those four eastern oblasts, even the parts of them the Russians don’t currently control. The problem for Ukraine is the trajectory of the war right now. They are on the back foot more and more each day.
