  1. Yes. About 10 percent remained behind. 18 percent voted to stay in Russia in that oblast. Many people left the east due to the war long before Feb 24th.

  2.  @esosaiyamu2581  not dumb. It is of no strategic value, unlike Kyiv, which the Russians were forced to retreat from. If russia keep winning like this, they won't have an army left.

  4. They should definitely not allow themselves to get encircled for such an insignificant place.

  5. @Rob Moreno the eastern Oblasts voted heavily for independence, but most people have left, and the ones left behind belong to the minority who voted against independence. Most of them are old.

  6. The inside toilets will delight them.

  7.  Putin the great🇷🇺  you must feel very proud forcing a country which doesn't want to be with you to be with you by use of violence rather than offering it a positive future.

  8.  @alexsilent5603  russia is finished dude. The west is investing heavily in renewables. The past belonged to us, snd so will the future. Just more culturally advanced.

  9. Nothing funny about a big military punching a small one. Russia should pick on someone bigger if it doesn't want to be looked at with contempt.

  10.  @GamingwithBlaze  of course Russia is weak. It stole territory from Finland too, and compare the two countries now. Finland is a modern successful country, and Russia is second world.

  11.  @joeylopez7978  it's a big country.

  12.  @GamingwithBlaze  sorry. Your English is so poor that I can hardly understand what you are trying to say. Another sign that Russia isn't equipped for the future, and will remain economically and culturally 50 years behind the western world.

  13. That will secure a golden future for Russia then. Who cares if the developed world will want nothing to do with it ever again.

  14. It's normal for countries in ukraines position to wear the invader down. It is often successful. Washington barely won a battle but he won the war.

  15.  @tiglishnobody8750  conscripts. No use.

  16. Russia has no future. Its a gas station not a country, and in 20 to 30 years nobody will be buying it.

  17. He's not your president.

  18. Finland prospered although Russia stole some of its territory. Ukraine will be just fine. Europe will help her and turn her back on Russia for good.

  19. Why would anyone trust a Russian? They are the world's top liars and thieves

  20. The russian army hasn't run out of civilians to murder and rape, or washing machines to steal, unfortunately.

  21.  @AndrewGunner  like in world war one, it magically collapsed.

  22. Can repressive regimes actually liberate? It comes from the word liberty after all.

  23.  @nebonaladoni2678  you stole land from Finland too. Nobody would ever live in poor corrupt second world russia rather than rich first world finland. The future belongs to ukraine. You will have to glorify your past because you don't have a future.
