  1. Agree with that. About time we had at least a cultural and sporting ban on all russian sportspeople. We had one for south africa to get rid of aparthaid. I hated having to watch russian cyclists competing in last years tour de france under no flag but then had russian flags being waved for them at the kerbside. On the internet were far too accomodating with russians regarding games/gaming etc. Developers going out of their way to provide the russian language etc. All so they can get more money in.. Same attitude as the companies jake mentioned that are still trading in russia.

  2. No surprise there. Putins 100% behind the rise of militant nationalism in europe again. 80 odd years after the last time it raised its ugly head in europe. 60 odd million died worldwide the last time. Its one of the reasons for NATOs existance. To prevent it from happening again. Seems some bulgarians and hungarians were never taught history. Or perhaps their too cold hearted and selfish as nationalists to care?

  3. Nah you obviously dont care about the 12 dead including two 14yo twin girls and the other 17yo girl along with the other 60 wounded including a baby. You dont care that the pizza restuarant was being regularly used by journalists, aid workers and other civilians. You dont care that putins propaganda claimed that 2 generals, 50 soldiers and 20 foreign mercenaries were killed instead. You dont care that they actually admitted to a war crime and that they lied about the casualties. I bet you dont care about all the other war crimes and terror attacks committed by putins military previously in ukraine and syria either. You not caring says a lot more about you than your delusional conclusion.

  4. 17% per cent of ukranians were ethnic russians the last time a census was undertaken. So there are bound to be some collaborators. Most ethnic russian ukranians lived in the eastern regions. Donetsk, crimea and luhansk for example. Thats also the areas were putins, russian speaking, state tv propaganda were being broadcast too. For 14 years leading up to maidan. No doubt causing the ethnic and political division required for all this shit happening now. A large % of ordinary ukranians use russian as their first language too. A result of 80 odd years of the russification of ukraine by stalin, through the soviet era up to 1991. Then 92% voted in favour to leave a union with russia to become an independant sovereign state. All the regions including the donbas and crimea voted in favour. So many ethnic russians voted in favour too. Putins propaganda seems to have changed that as his puppet yanukovych was elected in 2010. 3 years later he scrapped a proposed union with the EU for one with the very country they voted 92% to leave in 1991. As well as becoming more authoritarian like his master. Not surprisingly the ukranian people rose up against this at maidan. From there this conflict started. A lot of ethnic russian ukranians have remained loyal though as putin has bombed a lot of the cities they are prominent in, like kharkiv, as well as relatives from both states falling out with each other. All this is due to putins most potent weapon imho. Which for me is his propaganda.. So many have been duped by it in russia, ukraine and even worldwide.
