  1. propaganda is always different from reality.
    google 15 republics 15 sisters, an Armenian kisses an Azerbaijani, and hundreds of posters where *russians * always hug the Chinese.

  2. The meet-cute to end all meet-cutes.

    Ukraine sports a rictus smile. Gritted teeth. Knows what’s about to happen below the frame.

    Russia looks away. It knows but does not see.

  3. After Russia occupied Ukraine 300 years ago (and did it a few more times) we always hear about “friendship” and “elder brother”.

  4. Russia is still forcing us to do something useful. They say that we should be friends, because we are one people. There is no Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, it is a mistake to think so. Human material lives on these lands, of course, but it is nothing more than their slaves or raw materials for their prisons. Russia is comfortable when Ukrainian slaves come to work in their mines, build houses for them, extract oil and gas for them. This is brotherly. But to have freedom of speech and thought, freedom of trade and production, freedom of movement, freedom to be and be called a Human, human material in this territory has no right.

  5. Russian vows for “friendship” and “peace” are always false. Always have been, always will be, and this will never change.

  6. “What is the goal for Russia? A necessity, a need for all good Russian people? The goal is the disappearance of Ukraine as a state. This here is beyond the idea, this is the goal. There should be no Ukraine as a state in the form in which it arose and in which it exists.

    The US and China pose a real threat to us, but Ukraine, as an anti-Russian project, as an anti-Russian project, threatens the stability of the Russian state.

    Putin’s deep innate irreconcilable antipathy for the Ukrainian state corresponds to the inner feeling of the deep Russian people.

    On other issues, we may not agree with Putin, but in terms of Ukrainian politics, I am 120% in solidarity. This state must be destroyed. Nothing should be left of it in the end. It must be either allied, protectorate, or dependent.

    Ukraine is Russia. Either that or not exist at all.”
