Dude, you are not getting russian motivation! They do want to occupy every territory that was part of russian-soviet empire, it is a pure colonial point of view + years of propaganda. Just one fact. In 2014 about 85% of russian citizens approved occupation of Crimea, approved the start of war with Ukraine (according to independent russian sociology company Levada). This number remains on same level last 8 years.

@MrLebix but it is true, you need to be native russian speaker to understand. Colonialism is part of russian culture, empire is praised in school history. It hard for me to translate into English but there are two separate words to describe russian citizenship and russian as a nation. In general, russian citizens is a huge mix of nations (hundreds) with russians as dominant nation that erases languages and culture of other nations by teaching false history at school (example: Buryats "willingly asked" empire take them into! two wars are ignored) and teaching only russian language. Only few nations inside russain federation have enough schools with native language lessons. Nations in russia hate each other, national gangs or crimes of hate is common thing. By the way, russian occupants are trying to erase Ukrainian nation on occupied since 2022 territory by doing next thins: Step #1 is to crush resistance of locals (killing activists and public speakers, jails with torture chambers and russian TV broadcasting). Step #2 is raise next generations as russians (take control over school, forbid Ukrainian language, history and literature and start teaching children russian language, history and literature).

@laza8675 you are totally wrong. First of all, Germany occupied all territory of modern Ukraine and Belarus, this two nation takes the biggest damage comparing to other soviet nations (by the way, it was the reason why Ukraine and Belarus were included into UN as separate countries despite being part of USSR). It is true about trauma due to WW2 in two generations of soviet citizens. For example, my 15 years old grandma was "gestarbater" in Germany for few years and didn't die just because she worked at farm; she was keeping hidden extra supplied of food for the whole life due to starvation during the war and after the war. But this WW2 trauma has nothing to do with modern citizens of ex-soviet countries! Generations that were born after 1960th don't have trauma!!! I personally didn't understand why my grandma is keeping food in hidden place, it was weird for me. Now I know WHY she keeped food and i will do same (russian aggression explained to me WHY extra food supplies is so important). How it is possible that modern russian citizens do have some "trauma"? The thing is that russian government intentionally use this "historical trauma" to generate hate inside russian citizens. It started in early 2000th. Now russian media can declare some country or nation as nazi and after few years of propaganda russian citizens will hate this nation and will agree to start a new war. One last thing. In 2014 about 85% of russian citizens approved occupation of Crimea, in fact it was an approval of war with Ukraine. Occupation increased popularity of russian president.

@mcplutt in 2014 about 85% of russian citizens approved occupation of Crimea (according to russian independent sociology company Levada). People were very happy about this occupation and approval approval rate of russian president and government increased a lot. Sociologists call it "Crimea consensus" - approval and support of russian citizens of own government due to pride of government actions.

@emilydavison2053 in 2014 about 85% of russian citizens approved occupation of Crimea (according to independent russian sociology company Levada), in fact they approved start of war with Ukraine and didn't notice it!

@kostyaafanasyev8909 you also forget to mention about 146% and also mention that you, your family and all your friends are "out of politics" and never voted. This if very good theory but unfortunately russian soldiers prefer to obey and continue aggression in Ukraine. You are denying russian responsibility because being crazy and aggressive on nation level it is hard to accept.

Adiagy small correction, USSR started WW2 with Germany in 1939 by invasion into Poland. In 1941 Germany invaded USSR, not in 1945. USSR is more than just russia.

I'd like to remind you all here one interesting fact. In 2014 about 85% of russian citizens approved occupation of Crimea, approved the start of war with Ukraine (according to russian independent sociology company Levada)

Just one fact. In 2014 about 85% of russian citizens approved occupation of Crimea (according to russian independent sociology company Levada). It was an approval of the war with Ukraine as well.

@rolflin that's the whole point! Consider it as a primitive bully who is very dumb and cruel. The only way to deal with such type of person is to show him that he is weak and pathetic, make him to be scared instead of you.

 @davidpaulford1980 Germany history tells us that majority of the people will not wake up even after defeat

@SuperEdge67 sorry, but you are spreading modern russian fakes about WW2 history. During WW2 ALL nations of USSR lost people during war. Ukrainians and Belarusians nations lost more people among rest of soviet nations (including russians). Since 2000th russian propaganda tries to re-write history and instead of word "soviet" uses word "russian".

It is not senseless. They want to restore former empire

Oh, so you are hostages now? Could you please explain to me why did russians elected putin FOUR times?

@mcplutt propaganda by itself will not work, especially now with unlimited access to alternative source of information. Propaganda is effective only if it matches your hidden desires, emotions or fears. This video explains that russian aggression is based on desire to restore empire, just to be part of something "great and big" because own life of many russian citizens is miserable existence in poverty. It is also reason of mass alcoholism.

In 2014 about 85% of russian citizens approved occupation of Crimea (according to independent russian sociology company Levada). In fact they approved start start of war with Ukraine and didn't notice it. Many russian citizens even now, after full scale war with Ukraine, don't understand why Ukrainian don't like russians. It is a true riddle for them! Stories about "regime" is just a way to blame one person instead of the whole nation that elected this one person as president FOUR TIMES. Despite constant aggressive wars and invasions.

@tymateysz russian opposition tries to convince EU citizens that it is "putin's war" and russian citizens are victims of propaganda. Unfortunately it is a lie and majority of russian citizens do want to conquer other countries (and don't understand why it is bad!); russian soldiers do want to fight and kill. And russian president and his vision of russian future represents majority of russian citizens and their vision of russian future.
