If slapping some comic is OK b/c of a bad joke then Zielinski would not have had a face already ;)

Russians will not easily move out of occupied areas even if they do not need them as they are holding a lot of Ukrainian troops. Removing troops from one area to another also means Ukraine would do the same. Besides, they have something to bargain with. Russia needs to capture all of Donbass and only then agree to freeze conflict - not before - i.e. all of Donetsk needs to be taken as all of Lugansk is already taken. I doubt this war will end before 2 months mark.

Well, given that Russians fly 300x per day and Ukrainians 5x per day and its been like this after about 10 days I start to wonder what definition does the west use in this conflict for "air superiority".

With some treatment yes. Given price of cooking oil I think it would be a terrible idea. Price of cooking oil went up 100% in Poland and I am sure in all of Odessa there is not enough cooking oil to fuel three tanks for more then 100km. Besides. people are already hungry.

@atomicshadowman9143 *WAS*. they do not have a lot of it laying around - not enough to feed people. Like I said, price of oil doubled in Poland.

@atomicshadowman9143 Poland is huge food exporter so its not worrying about food. The international prices simply went up and its unlikely Ukraine will produce a lot of food this year.

@AlbertZonneveld Azov had 2500 in Mariupol alone. The Azov units are at least 10,000 in total. There were also at least 1500 other soldiers in Mariupol. It is really hard to tell who is not lying. We know not all of Azov was there for sure as they are shooting POWs on camera in other places.

@AlbertZonneveld Poland already admitted its amounting to a war crime. Same as execution of civilians, torture of civilians etc. in Mariupol. Why no one is investigating shelling of cities by Ukraine? They shell cities, kill civilians etc. But somehow, that is totally OK, no?

Please kindly read part of UN where nations have the right to decide, which was basis of Kosovo decision. I.e. people of Donbass, as per UN, have the right to decide where they want to live. Same for Crimea. Your examples of Poland or Russia are flawed - other then these being wars there is no common ground. Regarding Russian and Ukrainian people the history states that long time ago, on the vast planes of present day Russia and Ukraine, there were Polish tribes. They lived in peace until... one day... opening trade routes the bastards from the north invaded. These were the Rus. And they conquered the lands. Ukrainians and Russians are the Rus. Ukrainians only became distinct group of the Rus in 1930s as per Polish papers. Of course being distinct for 90-100 years does not mean they have no right to the land of Ukraine. After WWI humans were wiser then after dissolution of Soviet Union. There were referendums. People chose where they want to be. Maybe not perfect, but it worked. If this was done after fall of Soviet Union, Crimean and Donbass as well as maybe some other areas would be part of Russia from the start. There were many post Soviet wars - all would be avoided if people had the right to pick where they want to live. Are you against the right of people to choose? Are you against Kosovo? How about Taiwan?

@n3v3rforgott3n9 So get UN there and ask them to vote. Free vote. Under UN rules.

@Energetiker If Kosovo can get its independence from Serbia so can Crimea and Donbass. International law is open to interpretation there. Same as your example of Africa. Why can people of Kosovo be granted extra rights but not people of Donbass? "Eritrea got granted its independence after a 30 year long civil war. The Kosovo became independent much sooner. Both acts happened under specific approval of the general assembly of the United Nations and both states are now recognized as independent nations before the whole world." Kosovo is only partially recognized, same with Eritrea (I think, did not check). Same mechanism could be used with Donbass and with Crimea. On the contrary to your statement UN DID NOT approve any independence of Kosovo - in reverse such "independence" was heavily questioned - https://www.un.org/press/en/2008/ga10764.doc.htm#:~:text=The%20General%20Assembly%20today%2C%20by,Justice%20on%20the%20legality%20of As well as "United Nations has maintained a position of strict neutrality on the question of Kosovo's status" - i.e. there was no "approval" as you state by UN. None at all! So you cannot have your cake and eat it as well. Either Kosovo and Crimea and Donbass and Taiwan can choose or they cannot. Make your choice. " they can turn these lands full of hostile inhabitants" - are you sure? People in Mariupol openly hate Ukraine. City was taken back by DPR - i.e. by people of Mariupol. And where did the Ukrainians come from? Lwow. Clearly international law is "flexible" when the west is concerned, but rather "firm" as far as Russia is concerned, in your twisted view. Either there is ONE law for all or not. In my personal view, the right of people of a region should supersede the right of states to do anything they wish - i.e. it should be part of any democracy to allow a certain subgroup to secede. This is fully implemented in Canada, where each province has the right to secede. This is what democracy is all about. Finally, going back to Crimea - its transfer to Ukraine, as well as transfer of a lot of other land to Ukraine is on very shaky legal ground. I.e. most of land of Ukraine is land that Soviets stole from other countries. A lot of old treaties were never cancelled or fell out of force. If you want to go by strict legal standard of countries sovereign rights then a lot of "Ukrainian" lands should go back to its previous owners.

@Energetiker So why don't anyone want say UN recognized referendum? Under UN rules with EU checks and balances, you know 100% legit. If your claims about #s are correct, which they are NOT, why doesn't Ukraine allow for such voting to take place? Well WHY NOT? Are you 100% sure that people living in Ukraine have "rights" - really? One of demands set out by Russia is same rights as minorities have in Europe. So Russia went to war, to get same rights as are in Europe. Strange, you claim Ukraine has these rights - but when discussing these Ukraine refuses! So I think you are wrong here - people have rights say in Canada - Quebec build 300 bombs before it was granted French language rights... In Ukraine the opposite occurred, Russian language was made illegal. This is just tip of the ice berg. Same issues that occurred in Kosovo did occur exactly in Donbass and Crimea + other areas. Ukraine officially made Stephan Bandera a Hero of Ukraine - a know heavy duty Nazi. Open your eyes man - these guys have Azov, ultra Nazi as regular army - people that think they are continuation of SS Glaitzen. Peaceful neighbor that bombarded Donbass for 8 years instead of honoring Minsk agreements it signed? Seriously? You totally ignore lots of evidence. Like if there are no Nazi in Ukraine, why not make them illegal? LOL. Zielinski will not touch big part of his government that is Nazi. 70% support for Bandera in the West Ukraine. You just ignore these facts as they are not in TV. Or you ignore the fact that Ukraine refused to recognize murder of over 1m Poles, mostly Jews, during WWII and refused to even allow any exhumation of these dead people. They refused to acknowledge their WWII crimes. Oh, maybe b/c they teach in their history class "alternative history"? Russia may not be a "good" or have a "good leader" but neither can be said of Ukraine or US. I hope you also have miserable day. Remember, democracy and people need for freedom will always eventually win - as it did in Vietnam and as it does in Donbass today. Maybe such "freedom" in Vietnam and Donbass is abused, true, but its there and cannot be ignored. You cannot ignore freedom, at least not in long run.

They may think of forming a new border over a river. Look at rivers for new borders.

Remember Jews were Polish citizens as well - so the number is over a million Poles, not just 100k. Also the 100k seems low - for example, over 4000 towns and villages were removed from the map. It seems a low number to say only on average 25 were killed!

****** Note geo location of latest Patrick L video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sZuz4dlVAo They are filming in the center of Mariupol - so one can add a 1km+ bubble there.
