  1. I do not know what to say. What did they expect? That Ukraine would keep its calm .. or test their tolerance and loyalty to the no-escalation policy? Have they been trying to drive a wedge between the Ukrainians and their supporters?

  2. It was a really difficult to do what he did. Singing so perfectly on that dice.

  3. In the old days there was this pomor-trade connection. The russians were appreciated as kind people according to my primary school teacher who grew up in a town close to Kirkenes.

  4. I remember what I heard of the serbians in Bosnia. I am so sorry that russians were supporting this, and that this is continued.

  5. Civilians and injured soldiers, is what I heard was requested for evacuation.

  6. One thing is that it has happened on extremely short notice. The other thing is that the votes are cast in transparent boxes. Anyone interested can see what the voters chose. And what are the options?

  7. That is pretty clear to me, at least. But I do get a good deal of what is being said in Russian.

  11.  @mbaxter22  my take is that they found the conditions unsafe. I do not blame them. They had plenty of evidence for that assumption. The Red Cross and UN-assistance is a better guarantee.

  12.  @mbaxter22  you may link your references

  13. The insistence on filtering, is not what I would assume «safe».

  14.  @mbaxter22  but of course, in Mariupol, there are people who have strong connections to Russia, somehow. Not everyone makes sense of the current animosity. I will not hold it against people either that they find it hard to fathom the Ruzzian aggression.

  15. Thinking of all those outspoken ukrainians.

  16. Is he having great fun getting such a real life game and these serious opposition. He must be delighted.

  17. That distancing is widespread in Z-land.

  18. It would be better that the Russians blew up the bridge to Crimea. That would have been heroic.

  19. Russia needs to understand. Yes.

  20. The Russian government can make up any excuse to withdraw.

  21.  @rashmigupta9  Well, if they are incapacitated by injury, they might be evacuated, I guess. In that case, they are useless as soldiers.

  22. I will be going to Czechia soon, and I am looking for precautions in order not to spread fear or disrespect during my stay. What are the current rules of safety? I am vaccinated and I have also been recently tested. In that sense, everything about me is OK. But I wonder where do I find local regulations. How are the rules about mascs? Last year I was in Prague, and since we hardly used mascs then in my country, I was not too careful about usage then. It probably did no harm, as there was a low infection rate then, but now I think my behavior was a little disrespectful. I won’t repeat that.

  23.  @switch12345678  if so. They can be judged in Hague.

  24. That title is just another example of denying ukrainians' ability to think for themselves. Typical mentality of superiority.

  25.  @nopt1118  I think that is another type of problem. . In this case the voters had to register and get russian passports too before voting about joining Ruzzia. Those who are clear that they do not want to be citizens of Russia cannot vote.

  26. Different perspectives, that’s all. It just shows that there was a background for this conflict. From the outside, from a safe space, we may be able to see what is playing out in this theatre. That is a good word that sums up the different parts.
