8:15 Funny they finally realize that this "referendum" in Ukraine is pure bullshit, while they still haven't realized that the election of their own president in Russia also is, and that the elections in Belarus also were.
That precisely why democracy in Ukraine is such a big issue for Putin: Ukraine makes too obvious that his political system is a scam, and that slavic people can be perfectly fine with non-putinistic regime ! This proof of socio-political concept alone, by destroying the myth about special Russian blood and special Russian need for a cruel dictator, makes him want to silence them all. But by trying to silence Ukrainians by force, he only managed to make more people talk about Ukraine, learn about Ukraine, and think about this political situation in Russia.
And by killing Ukrainians and destroying their land and forcing them to obey, he only managed to make millions of Ukrainians who used to like Russia to hate him and start to hate Russia too.
If you ever need a teacher of basic psychology, never choose Vladimir Putin. His understanding of how humans work is like for a cat to understand the making of a remotely controlled steam engine.

18:08 And it's not new at all! It's been like this for centuries.
Throughout the history of Eurasia, whether in Europe, Asia, and even in the Middle East, for as long as Moscow has existed and exerted some influence in other surrounding countries, regardless of political regime, every time that Moscow's central power has decided to use force and violence rather than hope to coerce a neighboring province or country — every • single • time , without exception, no joke — there has been an immediate political reaction in some other reputedly "neutral" or "friendly" pro-russian or pro-USSR states against this central power, whether in the form of revolts, suspension of diplomatic relations, delayed cooperation, betrayals, political distancing, termination of agreements, secret agreements with enemies of Moscow, preference for trade with other nations, etc...
For centuries, coercion has always ended badly, has always led to disappointment and resentment, and has ultimately reduced Russia's influence in the world.
It has always been the one and only serious reason for people to distrust or hate Russia, economic interests notwithstanding.
For centuries.
For generation and generations of people studying this phenomena and writing about it in diverse scientific and artistic domains.
And yet, some ultra-nutcases somehow still haven't learned their lesson.

3:03 Actually, since the Ukrainian forces aren't willing to let them regroup to continue the deadly fight somewhere else, the only survival option for them was to surrender.
No, there was no option for mechanized evac for them because their fellow comrades who had vehicles at the rear of the front aren't stupid and guessed that they would be destroyed inside their vehicles by artillery fire if they moved in range. They had seen all the previous moves in this direction end in disaster during the last few days, so they refused the order to go support and rescue the infantry , they refused to join the suicide.
What is horrible for the soldiers who died on this road is that, after being stupidly sent to a suicide mission, they've probably been promised an evac that never came.
Some of them survived, though. And that's good, because now they have a story to tell to the fresh Russian recruits that might help them realize what they signed for, and think twice before accepting more.

23:40 Oh, technically, you can, to some extend. But it dramatically increase the risks of ending alone at the surface of the see without any floating thing to swim to nor any radio to beg for help with.
Piracy only works by surprise. Once the nations expect it, they organize, load guns and missile launchers, don't let wannabe kings of the sea approach, and their ways to fight back can be very deadly.
Military or not, once cut in half mid-air, choppers don't float much better in salt water than irons, and bulletproof vests are no life jackets.
