Russia will let the civilians trapped in Mariupol and Kharkiv flee; but only if they agree to flee to Russia
Maybe he’s under a bit of pressure at home now that he had to say something like that.
This is a trap or something like that right? Why should he show his location??
I hope he’s not fucking there now !
Probably is. Have to hand it to the guy, he knows how to read a crowd and I don’t mean that in a flippant way. He figured out how to galvanise a nation by example and he also knows that if for whatever reason he was taken out that example would not be forgotten and that he’d be matyred. I mean, if your president refuses to run at risk of death how much more resilient and responsible does that make everyone else and if your president dies in the face of overwhelming odds how much more staunch does that make the ordinary guys on the line.
Fucking brilliant if you ask me.
Hypothetical question, but if, for instance, France decided to give Brittany back to England what would the legal process be? Would the French Government just have to make a law ceding it and England just sign the document accepting the land? If so, could Ukraine’s government ‘give’ large parts of Western and SW Ukraine to, for instance, Poland? I would assume this could be a quick process (you wouldn’t have to ask the population as you would normally do in this sort of process). This land would then be under NATO protection and refugees wouldn’t have so far to flee. In the future, depending what happens with the rest of the country Poland could decide to cede the land back to a fully independent Ukraine again or if that wasn’t (yet) in place make a new sovereign country which could be immediately allowed into the EU and NATO.
Would seriously piss Putin off but I doubt the West give a flying fuck what he thinks.

Kharkiv evacuation, 2022
Putting the photo in balck and white is very effective - really looks like something out of a history book…
Why does Putin hate Ukraine so much? Because it shows him and the whole world that Russians can also live in an ordinary modern country.
use google translate to read it.
This is of course true, the most likely scenario has always been Russia pushing and winning control through sheer firepower and numbers, in the short term.
There’s doesn’t seem a way out for Putin to deescalate the war.
But in the long term, Ukraine should prevail, like Afghanistan prevailed. Hopefully it won’t take 20 years.
In all scenarios, Ukraine suffers enormously as a country and a lot of people are killed or have their lives turned into a hardship.
It’s called baiting @Livvy. i.e deliberately annoy your opponent in the hope it causes an error, often used in football by Spanish teams.
Brittany was never part of England. Perhaps @Noo_Noo could lay claim.
P.S perhaps Normandy could lay claim to England?
