  1. It’s funny because they don’t know or pretend to not know that Ukraine at some point will militarily regain their territories, yet they keep trying to make silly statements like this.
    Sunk cost fallacy is stronk.

  2. This could ironically wind up justifying Ukraine taking a chunk of Russia.

    Which, would be hilarious.

  3. So they are recognizing Ukraine as a country then? Going about it all wrong of course but they are Russians after all

  4. No way, no Ukrainian passports for any orcs. The blood of the entire nation awashed them. So, no way, not on this planet or this lifetime.

  5. Just so you know, russians, doing that doesn’t make the land yours.

    In fact, none of the other things you’ve tried make the land yours. The fake referenda, the illegal annexation, the countless bombs, the puppets you installed.

    The land isn’t yours to attempt any of these in the first place. Just because you went ahead anyway still doesn’t make the land yours.

    Ukraine will take it back.

  6. And with $4 you can buy a latté at Starbucks.

  7. Great. Ukraine can now invade the Oblasts to defend this new independent state from Russia and attack the Ruzzians in Ukraine from the rear.

    Russian referendum fucked itself.

  8. Poland: did they say we’re doing commonwealths again?

    Lithuania: I think they did say we’re doing commonwealths again.

    Belarus: I’m scared.

  9. yeh, good luck with that… I think a few months from now these idiots will be eating their words, and perhaps some dirt as well.

  10. It sounds like a trick to forcibly conscript every man in these oblasts to “defend the commonwealth”, after they ran out of men in what they call DNR and LNR.

  11. Seems to me someone is putting the cart before the horse here. Then again Russians have been doing that a lot lately.

  12. … They want to secede from Russia and formally become a part of the Donbas? Which is part of Ukraine?

    That’s going to increase Ukraine’s size by 25%. And very nearly entirely end Russia’s access to the Black Sea.

    I don’t see any downside to this. Self-determination for the people of Rostov and Voronezh. Geopolitical consolidation for Ukraine after they have defeated the invasion. The Luhansk People’s Front or whatever it’s called gets to declare its goals symbolically achieved. And, it simplifies what’s left of Russia’s planning and foreign policy considerably, after the war is over.

    Win all around!
