In its post, the Security Service of Ukraine stressed that Russian occupiers can surrender by calling the hotline on +380665803498 o +380931192984.
The content itself is that a Russian platoon was made to fight in Kharkov during a two-day training exercise and lost in one minute.

It comes after Ukraine’s parliament passed a law in April offering Russian troops monetary compensation if they willingly surrender military equipment to Kyiv’s forces.
Those who turn in a plane should expect be paid $1 million, while surrendering a tank would be rewarded with $100,000. An APC like the one seen in the video would make its occupants $50,000 richer.

Aksyonov has said the peninsula had a month's worth of fuel and more than two months' worth of food. Russia's defence ministry said on Saturday its forces in southern Ukraine could be "fully supplied" through existing land and sea routes.
I have extracted this point from the Russian side's argument.🇷🇺
🤔
Until now, Russian military inventory information has been corrupt and lax.
(Which is why we are in the situation we are in now with the Ukrainian counterattack.)
Realistically, it is probably half, to put it mildly.
The bridge train line is unsafe for heavy goods to pass through.
Only one lane of vehicular road exists, but this too remains in a dangerous state.
It would be possible to unload and lighten the load from the cars at every single explosion section and pass it.
It would also be possible for humans to walk across.
However, if a vehicle or train passes through at normal speed, there is a possibility of collapse.
Well, it is irrational.
If a tank goes through, it might break.... They would not use it.
Realistically, the only way to transport the cargo would be from the sea.
But if they get close to land, they would be subject to Ukrainian artillery fire.
To avoid it, the fleet with Sevastopol as its home port is offshore.
The situation on the Crimean peninsula after this may turn out to be a starvation-stricken battle.
It is an isolated island on land.
Guadalcanal campaign - Wikipedia
starving island(餓島)
The Japanese army starved to death in WW2, and the situation on the Crimean peninsula is about to become the same as that time.

In Japan, it is a well-known fact that there is information on large structures that have suffered such fatal damage in "earthquakes"....
This type of structure can deteriorate considerably when subjected to fire.
Normal operation would not be possible even if the debris on the structure were removed.
When exposed to heat from fire, the different shrinkage behavior of the concrete weakens its internal restraints, causing cracks and other deterioration phenomena.
Generally, if the temperature at which the concrete is subjected to heat is less than 500°C, it will recover after a certain period of time until it can withstand reuse. However, yesterday's today is out of the question.
There is definitely a gap between the reinforcing steel and concrete.
The internal structure will develop fine cracks due to thermal shrinkage behavior, and passing heavy loads through it without reinforcement will lead to destructive results.
∑(ノΘ`*)🤦♂🤦
Yes... A one car road would be exposed to fire for a very short time. People would be able to escape.
If it's used for local traffic, I wouldn't recommend the rail side because if you get caught in a dice roll, you'll fall off. Because there will be heavy objects passing through for sure...

Yup. Typical for the animals they are. As a retaliation of destroying infrastructure, Russians are carrying out actual terrorist attacks on civilian targets.

The human rights organization OVD-Info reports that a school principal in Moscow contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs about a fifth-grader who used a yellow and blue profile picture while messaging with her classmates. In response, police pulled the girl out of school and brought her and her mother in for questioning. The inspector for juvenile affairs has placed the family on a “preventive register,” apparently because of the school’s concerns about their “civic position.”
[...]
The police also told her mother that another parent had complained after the girl posted a survey about peace and war in the chat.

Have you no shame literally?

According to your logic, electricity was lost for half the country due to a damaged playground?
Air defense also shoots down missiles that fall on the city (both Russian missiles and air defense missiles) and cause damage. Therefore, to say that the goal was playgrounds is very stupid of you. I repeat, if the government warned citizens that we would organize terrorist attacks in Russia and could get a harsh response, stay in hiding after our actions. But the Ukrainian government is interested in the fact that as many civilians as possible would be affected, so that there would be a more colorful picture for the West.

If UA actually blew up the Crimean bridge, why is Kremlin screeching terrorism like some sick degenerates? Double standards much?
That was as much of a infrastructure target as anything in UA.
Also - just because several rockets did hit infrastructure objects doesn't lessen the fact that most hit pedestrian areas without any strategic meaning. Stop defending the terrorist state. If you are trying to claim attack on Kyiv and other populated places was aimed at strategic targets then you are only reinforces the proof Russians have no precision rockets left and they are just bombing left and right and are incompetent of actually dealing significant damage. Just terrorizing civilians in hope some of the soviet time rockets hit targets.
Stop deflecting factual information with some bullshit statements pulled out of context. Haven't you sad trolls received new memo? Still going by the old instructions of deflecting and blowing everything out of proportion? But I suppose with how kremlin is burning from inside they don't really have time to debrief troll farms.
Also this is obviously the work of that sick dog Surovikin. That psycho already has civilian deaths on his rep. And every death he causes in UA will earn him life in prison for war crimes.

i've investigated the case further and found a site citing the NYT:
https://www.agenzianova.com/en/news/nyt-the-kiev-intelligence-services-responsible-for-the-attack-on-the-kerch-bridge/
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the Kiev government's ban on discussing the blast, added that Ukrainian intelligence services orchestrated the blast using a bomb loaded onto a truck, which then passed through the bridge.
and then i found this contradicting and quite interesting information:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63192757
But close examination of the footage seems to show that the truck had nothing to do with the explosion.
So your article may be the only one accusing Ukraine of it and can't be read, due to a paywall, also it's just a claim and nothing is proven by it, same counts for accusations of Pootin and taking the contradicting information into account, the case is far from waterproof, as you want it to appear

Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, called it “the beginning.” “Everything illegal must be destroyed,” Podolyak added on Twitter. The Ukrainian government provided no immediate official statement on the cause of the blast. But in a taunt, the government’s official Twitter account posted: “sick burn.”
Ukrainian commanders had publicly promised to attack the bridge as recently as June. And a Ukrainian government official told The Washington Post on Saturday that Ukrainian special services were behind the bridge attack. The Ukrainska Pravda news site first reported the government’s purported role, citing an unidentified law enforcement official who said Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, was involved.
As always, when your media doesn't suits to your opinion, you just ignore them

probably the same anonymous official, who told the NYT, still no proof (and no Ukrainian neo-Nazi starter pack and copies of Sims 3 were found :p )
and your provided article also says this
“So, the answers should be sought in Russia,” he said. “The logistics of the explosion, synchronization with the fuel echelon, the volume of the destroyed roadway — all this clearly points to the Russian trace.”
so maybe it was just another false flag operation? Or russians, who don't agree with Pootin and the war?

Children's playground in Kyiv. A very dangerous strategic object for the Russians : RussiaUkraineWar2022
https://www.reddit.com/r/RussiaUkraineWar2022/comments/y07p4t/childrens_playground_in_kyiv_a_very_dangerous/
Chronologically, there are still exchanges that suggest that the Ukrainians knew where the bombs were going to land shortly before they hit the ground.
"Cowards fighting playgrounds, children and people,"
It is becoming common practice for the Russian government to deliberately attack children's playgrounds, amusement parks, and places where large numbers of civilians congregate.
What is frightening, however, is that this was done intensively and on a daily basis for about a month after the war started.
Missiles are useless if they are shot down, so the basic rule is to launch them in batches, but recently we have not seen many reports of this as missile stocks have been depleted.
At the beginning of the war, it was very difficult to shoot down missiles.
This time, it seems that about half of the missiles were shot down because the Western countries are now better equipped.
The most ideal situation would be to launch a preemptive strike on the missile launch site.
Although it has been only a short time since the incident, next week there may be talk of expanding long-range strike equipment and anti-aircraft equipment, both of which Russia dislikes.

Then they show the appointment of a new future scapegoat for the special military operation.

A touch of heavy 'Russian supremacism' (or Rashism), from Pavel Gubarev, former Russia's "DPR" figure in Donetsk, former member of the neo-Nazi Russian National Unity paramilitary group.
Pavel Gubarev states Russian intentions towards Ukrainians. In short, it says something like - "We aren't coming to kill you, but to convince you. But if you don't want to be convinced, we'll kill you. We'll kill as many as we have to: 1 million, 5 million, or exterminate all of you."
Long version:
Pavel Gubarev - "It's very important for us to create an image of the enemy. That will be reality-based: These are Russian people, possessed by the devil. We are coming to convice them, not to kill them. But if you don't want us to change your minds, then we will kill you. We will kill as many of you as we have to. We will kill 1 million, or 5 million, we can exterminate all of you until you understand that you're possessed and you have to be cured. Zelensky is the main possessed one there, he is really the devil's spawn. He is the Hitler 2.0, with his rabid nationalism, with that rabid Russophobia. With images of a woman cutting a throat, they are bloody possessed Satanists, from the standpoint of the Christian thought. From the secular point of view, these are anti-system liberal consumers, stupid people, who can't figure out what's happening."

He seems to be panicking at the prospect of providing Ukraine with the means for a "long-range attack".
There was some talk recently about the serious depletion of ammunition on the front lines in Russia.

His remarks also addressed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He said Russia's military was "exhausted" and that it was running out of supplies and ammunition.
He argued that the mobilisation of prisoners and inexperienced men "speaks of a desperate situation" - and criticised President Putin as making mistakes.Speaking on Radio 4's Today programme about the state of the Russian military, Sir Jeremy said it was "running short of munitions" and "is certainly running short of friends".
He said that Russian missile strikes in recent days were not an escalation in terms of the types of weapons being used.
But he warned that the missile attacks on targets across Ukraine on Monday showed Russia was still "very capable" of causing damage.

The world will be cold this winter, both in wallets and temperatures.
Will the Russian government keep warm with the living blood of Russian and Ukrainian citizens, even though their wallets and temperatures are below freezing?
It's a terrible story, but it shows from their actions towards Ukraine that this is the way to go.😟
Will the Russian people just be sucked dry? The Ukrainian people are resisting, right?

I'm sure the G7 would have kept backing Ukraine no matter what Russia does. I am just hoping they can start peace talks again.

The Russian government will be the scene of a punishment handed down before it sits down to negotiate.
Some have said that Biden threatened to use the U.S. as a surefire way to assassinate Putin in the event of a nuclear attack on Ukraine, but for once, no "credible source" has been found.

Perhaps there is a tail wagging in the general community to this story.
Well, it has some credibility because it is a statement from a person who has held a key position in the United States.
At least it is more believable than 🛰Elon and the fighting cocks👨🍳.

😊Yup..
The most ideal situation would be to launch a preemptive strike on the missile launch site.
In the unlikely event that you are exposed to "future events,🇷🇺" don't worry.
It's just a coincidence.🙄
To everyone here, I would say, pay attention to what is of interest to you.
It is also a good idea to only read about topics that get a lot of affirmation.
Correct information that will help you understand is more important than the time and effort it takes to read a lot of negatives.
Do not spend too much effort on negative work.
Just reading and responding to "the work" may not solve the "problem" at hand.

That will remain a secret most likely forever. Unless we of course come to an actual nuclear strike (which I doubt). But I've seen analysis that with how egocentric putler is, threatening him personally is the only sure way of having anything accomplished. Apart from self preservation he doesn't care about anyone else - we can already see that he cares little even for his own citizens dying en masses.
So in my opinion it could be truth that USA has resorted to actually threatening him personally.

John Bolton is a warhawk and loves to bluster - he is not a "credible source". He says a lot of stupid things, including outing himself in his own involvement in attempting coups and destabilizing foreign governments in SA and elsewhere. He was also the author of much harm and death in Iraq. Even WAPO doesn't think much of him.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/07/13/john-bolton-coup-backlash/
Edit: In fact, if the US were a member of the ICC, John Bolton would most likely be prosecuted as a war criminal. I recommend you google "John Bolton war criminal" - I guarantee the results will be interesting.

Problem is, Poopoo only agrees to his terms of peace - "he keeps what he already stole, Ukraine suffers more, and gets rid of weaponm, becoming defenseless once again against any new russian aggression"
To which I'd say - no sane person would negotiate on those terms. They are barbaric, and fucking offensive. Also, if Ukraine were to agree to these terms, next attact would wipe us all out from the face of the earth. So no, fuck russia, and fuck their "peace" offer.
The only acceptable offer is - russia fucks off from Ukrainian territoies, including Donbass and Crimea, russia pays reparations, russia demilitarizes, and, most importantly, EVERY war criminal gets on trial, from simple soldiers up to Poopoo himself.

As absurd as many will find it I think Elon had a decent idea. Have the UN do a cease fire, have them go in an let the people vote to decide what they want to do. If Russia is wrong they have to leave and the fighting stops. If the people want to join Russia they do and the fighting can stop. I know it seems bad to take away part of Ukraine to give to Russia but the UN did the same with Serbia.
Also, it is a minor thing, but why do so many people use silly nicknames for people they don't like. It is rather childish and makes it hard to take the comments seriously after that.

First of all, that wasn't Elon's idea, it was planted by Poopo after the phone call Musk had with him couple hours earlier. Second, the elections now are in no way gonna be fair or democratic. An overwhelming amount of ukrainian citizens fled the occupied territories when they could, and russia killed or forcefully moved TO RUSSIA a lot of people too. So the rest 10-20-30%, which have been under russia's rule all these months, cut off from the real world information, and pumped with russian propaganda as the only source of information - how do you think they will vote? How will the dead ones vote? How will the ones who fled vote?
Third, Ukrainian territory is indisputable, and that is written down in our constitution. No part of Ukraine can leave unless ALL of Ukraine supports it.
Fourth, by giving in to Poopoo, we will leave our citizens under his rule - and we've seen what russian soldiers do in occupied cities. Bucha and so on - too many to count. His soldiers are ERADICATING ukrainian people everywhere they can, so this will be a death sentence to the people we would leave behind. He is on a genocidal crusade at the moment, he hates ukrainians for simply existing - like, you know, one german guy did the jews...
Fifth, and most important. Poopoo already did this - in 2014 his people have annexed Crimea and Donbass, held fake referendums and crap like that. At the time, Ukraine did let him have those, and now, after 8 years, he came back for more. There was nothing about nazis, or russian people - this is a fucking land grab operation. So yes, if we let new lands to be sent under russia's rule, they will come again later, and try to grab even more, killing everyone they want along the way.
So no, no fucking way that was a good idea. Not by any measure.
As for calling dictators silly names - this is a mental defense measure, for me personally it helps to not mention that fucker by real name - too much hate has built up over the years.

There is no proof Elon spoke to Putin. I know, one guys says he did and Elon says he didn't. It doesn't make sense for Elon to spend money to make sure Ukrainian had access to the internet with Starlink to only plan on betraying them later. Unless, they are using Starlink to spy on Ukrainians,(kidding)
Also the claims of genocide are hyperbolic. There is no proof of it just propaganda claims from the Ukrainian government. Yes, I am aware of the speech given by a high ranking Russian military leader. It seemed like the common bluster of "We are going to kill them all." (I don't speak Russian going by report by a Ukrainian translator) The US has had many military leader speak like that. It is like a coach doing a pep talk to rile up the troops spirits. Also if he wants to genocide Ukrainian why would he want so many to join Russia? Those territories are full of Ukrainians so is he going to kill them all and just take the land? Are the the Ukrainians who choose to go to Russia being killed? And honest question what is the difference between a Russian and Ukrainian? Many people from Russia have family in Ukraine. To me that argument makes no sense.
I haven't seen any report of the people from Crimea rising up to get out of the control of Russia, can you point to any sources? Is it that all the people who didn't want to be part of Russia left the area?

One lives in Russia, other lives in Ukraine. The least someone like you should understand. Two nations who live in two different countries. AND ONE NEVER HAD TO INVADE THE OTHER. period.
ps. You at least have to understand that your opinion here is baseless. Those of us who live near Russia have been dealing with this Kremlin imperialism since the fall of soviet union. Kremlin financed political parties and businesses constantly pushing on Russias interests, Russian language. Undermining local languages and culture. We have enormous problems with "locals" only speaking Russian and putler constantly threatening that they have to protect the interests of Russian natives who are supposedly discriminated against.
We literally live through this. We know the lies Kremlin pushes. I'm pretty certain that about 90% that comes out of Russia about Ukraine is not valid. Nothing. No opinions or situation. Everything is shifter in their interests. Seriously - wake up. Most of the people here are those who live there or around the region and know what Russia is like. You live in USA and pretend you understand shit. I'm just seriously getting pissed at how you constantly try to shift attention to "oh, it's not that bad you know, we could solve this easily" ... and no, it's not like that. And it's not like that because people away from these regions understand nothing about what is going on.
Same as I don't open my mouth about issues in middle east. It's so far away from me I am only biased.
PPS. btw. if we are talking on why Russia is now using Elon as some kind of peace mediator - it's because Russia has to buy time. They are worthless on military field now. Any piece talks, repeated votes or whatever would buy them time to repair the bridge, regroup the troops. Putler probably hopes the new general who is absolute psycho will shift the war. There are million reasons why RUS would push this idea - they need to sell the idea that influencers in west are going against our government. While it only is one rich fuck who has lost touch with reality long ago.

The Starlink terminals were paid by for US government, by the way, so Musk didn't exactly "gift" them to us. It's a nice gesture, of course.
Claims of genocide are not hyperbolic, in EVERY de-occupied city there are mass graves of civillians, WITH CHILDREN, lots of the bodies have the signs of torture on them. A shit ton of soldiers and officers are on record saying their hatred towards the ukrainians. So no, the genocide IS happening, no matter what russian media is saying.
"Also if he wants to genocide Ukrainian why would he want so many to join Russia" - the ones who could run, already did, and of course russia doesn't advertise it, but they literally but people in the buses and send them to far away rusian lands, forcefully relocate them deep into russian territory. This was done during the soviet years too, forced relocation made sure the ukrainian identity was erased.
So the plan is to "re-educate" the ukrainians on the occupied lands, kill or relocate those who don't cooperate.
"And honest question what is the difference between a Russian and Ukrainian?" - Now I get it, it's hard to understand the distinction being far away from us. For ukrainian people this question is a big insult nowadays, but let me try and explain why. Yes, visually we looke pretty much alike - white people, without too much difference. We do have some slight differences, racially speaking, but the most important distinction is the culture and mindset. It's radically different between russian and ukrainian people, and it's too complex to fit into one ot two paragraphs. It's the cores of our identities that are different, it's our roots, our outlook on life. Yes, soviet era tried to eradicae that, and indeed, it has brought ukrainian mindset a bit closer to russian, but we still are different people. Different so much, that the mere fact of our existence is almost painful to russians, and they wish to destroy us for that.
So yes, I have relatives in russia, as have lots of other ukrainian people, but that doesn't mean we're all the same.
in 2014, there was some exodus from Crimea, forced and voluntary, but most importantly, there was a huge influx of russian people coming to new lands and taking stuff for themselves. Most people in Crimea are unable to really move away from there, and are just in waiting, weathering this crap out. you have to understand, a large chunk of ukrainian population is quite poor in comparison to US citizens. Most don't have a car, even. So it's way harder to "just" leave your home and go somewhere else. No large savings too, for majority - hence, people stay in place, hoping for the best.

We are both correct on the Starlink. https://web.archive.org/web/20220405203009/https://www.usaid.gov/news-information/press-releases/apr-5-2022-usaid-safeguards-internet-access-ukraine-through-public-private
It noted a press release sent by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), sent on April 5, 2022, which stated how the government agency had "delivered 5,000 Starlink Terminals to the Government of Ukraine through a public-private partnership with the American aerospace manufacturer, SpaceX, a private sector donation valued at roughly $10 million."
"SpaceX donated 3,667 terminals and the internet service itself, and USAID purchased the additional 1,333 terminals."
SpaceX is rumored to have also charged the US government and USAID less then retail price
My comment about the difference between Russian and Ukrainians is based on the history of the region. With the Russ people from around Kyiv being the source the the Russian peoples identity. There is lots of genetic and family ties between the two. The language seems also rather similar to me a non speaker of the language.
No worries about the typos. I do them a lot and English is my first language.

I stand corrected about the satellites, thanks or clarification.
Well, seeing peopl from different countries, I'd say ukrainians have much more common ground (and language too!) with other eastern european countries and nationalities, than with russia. Yes, Kyiv Rus was founded first, and Moscowia was made much later. They had a lot of influence from nomad tribes, including their language and culture. So there is no surprise there's a lot of differences.
As for the languages - it's quite funny, actually. Yes, they use the same-ish alphabet (with some exceptions like Э Ы Ъ in russian and І Ґ Ї Є and the aposhtophe in Ukrainian. And we do have a lot of similar, intersecting words indeed. But ukrainian language has WAY more similarity with Belorussian, Polish, Chech/Slovak languages, and others. It's so close together, that technically almost any of these language carriers can (more or less) easily understand each other. Now, russian speakers have hard time understanding ukrainian language, and even harder time for ALL of the languages I mentioned above.
Also, the sound of the languages is vastly different, Ukrainian sounds much more pleasant to the ear. As a matter of fact, in early 20th century it was named second best-sounding language in the world, after Italian (italian is pure music, no surprise! :D )

I think most languages have their own charm, if you care to delve deep enough. That would require interest, and respect. What's funny, is that russian people statistically rarely take interest in other languages, instead trying to force other people to "speak proper human language". I've seen that lots of times with my own eyes when I was abroad, and every time it's super jarring to see =(

That idea may seem decent only when you sit thousands of miles away from what is going on.
The idea is ridiculous not only for reasons Vassay already stated but due to the single fact that Russia would never allow such votes unless they absolutely knew the result. And result most likely is known by simply taking out opposition and leaving only supporters there. Of course everyone who opposes has already left the territories for the most part because, if you haven't noticed, there is a fucking war going on.
This is just wishful thinking that has gotten us into this problem in the first place - we continue to evaluate putler on bases of logic and facts, while we know he is unstable dictator who lives in his own little world.
Also the sheer decency of suggesting of giving territories over to invading force... seriously ? .......As for "nicknames" - those subhumans don't deserve to be called by their names. Journalists have legal issues to worry about, we are regular people having a discussion, so IMO we can show all the disrespect those worthless morons deserv.
PS. and even if we lived in such a paradise Russia would go "oh yeah, why not.. please my long lasting enemy from the west - come in and have a vote on annexation" and the vote would be in favor of staying in Ukraine, Russia would just say "its all lies, west has faked the vote and are trying to undermine russias interests" ..... So - are you finally seeing why this idea is so ridiculous? 7 months of war have shown you don't deal with Russia conventionally.

And if they voted again to join Russia are you saying you would believe the vote. I think that is the real reason it will never happen. No one really knows what the results would be.

There should have never been any voting in the first place. There was no talks of "hey let's join russia" until those fuckers captured the places and started saying that. Ukraine has voted for independence from russia in 1991. If a region wants to separate, there is a legal procedure, which is declared in our constitution.

No I wouldn't believe such a vote. Its a war torn region. Millions of people have been dislocated, thousands killed. What relevant vote can there even be? There where already people from west who supposedly witnessed the votes and according to them everything went fine..... Of course you cant hide the fact they go to doors with armed guards and note down those who vote against.
Sorry but as Vassay says - any vote shouldn't even take part there. Its part of Ukraine and Russia never had to invade. That is the point. You are trying to solve the result not the cause of the problem. Its like cancerous growth - we "deal" with situation by giving in to Russia and net thing you know in 10 years when they build up military again we are back at lies. We have to make them understand you can't get land by aggression anymore in this day and age in civilized world.
PS. just a comment on this Russian mentality - when we had a referendum implied by kremlin sponsored political party to make Russian language as second official language in Latvia, Russians went ecstatic - kremlin and Russians were pushing how we are discriminating against Russian speaking populace and how this is going to fix everything. And there where actually Russian thugs standing outside voting centers and where threatening people to vote in favor. Of course the referendum lost by landslide .. I think 80-90% voted against as we are actually living in west and Russia has no say in actual results. But oh boy did they try to make Latvia another belarus-like state. We had parliament elections not long ago and we had 3 kremlin sponsored parties and several individuals who where accused of receiving money from kremlin for lobbying in favor of Russia. Everything for Russia is a dirty political game. If LAtvia wouldn't be in EU or NATO we would have military at our doorstep looooooooong ago and we wouldn't hold out. Thats why for the region its so important for Russia to lose. Actually due to the war Russians went from almost majority in our parliament to having the least votes and 2 of their parties being below threshold of getting into the parliament. We are done dealing with them.

Who are those "they" you mentioned?
Those few who left on bombed to dust cities in the newly occupied areas? Those, who still live on old occupied territories after 8 years?
Who should vote?
There were multiple times more population on the territories you are 'planning' to re-vote. Should all the refuges, who fled those provinces (in any direction) participate?
Or we should take into account only those who decided to stay there under ruzzi occupation (either welcoming ruz, or simply they can not leave for the reasons)
Don't you think such voting regarding the future of the lands may looks like US presidential voting if (idk how) all (or almost all) Trump's followers will be forced to leave US during election.
And for example my case - I live in Kyev now, but my mom is on the East (luckily not occupied now, but was).
If such voting will be held on my native town where I was born, went to school, and where my parents live, should I participate or no?

since the source is Ukrainian then take it with a grain of salt since it could be propaganda yada yada yada etc some useless references so some of the most special users of this thread don't have to screech it every time
It looks like in wake of Crimea bridge explosion Russia is performing survey in Crimea and asking what are the views of citizens in case Ukraine starts fighting there with the main question being "are they ready to fight to protect it". Not known if the results will be made public, but we can pretty much be sure that if they will be made public it will say something along the lines "97% are ready to take up arms against invaders from Ukraine" or something bullshitty like that.
But if this is true, it means Russia is aware of their setbacks and are expecting that it might not go as planned for them. This could also be used as some pretext to start full mobilization in Crimea for example... In the end Kremlin mostly plays sick manipulative games so most likely there is some deeper meaning to it.

An educated man from Moscow may read independent media, be aware of those numbers and use them.

I also feel for the Russian people. The ones who got dragged into this war and don't agree with it. They are just being used as cannon fodder. They can flee or join. If they flee the country they can't return. If they join they might return in a body bag.
Putin doesn't care about civilians. Ukraine civilians get targeted and Russians civilians are forced to fight, and many don't even know what they are fighting for.
It is sad for both parties. But Ukraine is getting invaded, so the sentiment goes out to them. It is common human behavior to just hate all of "Russia the aggressor". It is like that in every war. People start thinking black and white because of bad things that happen. They forget about the gray area.
From your profile I see you are Russian. But you clearly have seen independent news, in the last comments you don't spread propaganda. You just lay out how things are around there.And I think you are against war too.
For us in western Europe it is hard to understand there is no independent press.
I believe it to be true Russian soldiers can surrender and will be taken care of. But, (sorry for the stereotype, I don't mean offense.) If i was in the shoes of a stupid hillbilly vodka Russian (like cement) who has only seen state television and believed it. Then I would probably hate the "evil west and Ukraine nazi's" too. I would flee because I hate war, but I wouldn't surrender because I would think I would thrown in jail, tortured and killed. "Because everybody else is evil"
The Russians who did surrender for sure had better access to independent news.

Although I agree with you that it is a pity that so many Russians die on the Ukrainian front.
The how and why is not an us problem that is a Russia problem, for Russians to overcome and demand change.
They enter Ukraine to fight, they can always surrender or refuse to fight, much respect and power to those individuals.
And if they chose to fight, they are not victims but they are the enemy.
Just like that tank. If it wasn't killed, it would likely be doing the killing now.

Putin Says No Need For Further Massive Air Strikes On Ukraine, Foresees End To Mobilization
Despite what Putin says, stopping the massive missile strikes was not a choice. The Russian stock of precision missiles is running out, that's all. (Report of Missile Shortage)
And Putin does not want to expand the mobilization either, because not enough military equipment is in stock. Also at stake is the fact that out of 300K mobilized, 400K fled Russia (Wikipedia). This is already devastating for the image of Putin's Russia.
