And once again you just throw random words around. Russia is the aggressor, leading war against a neighbor. And not for the first time in recent history. Opposing that has nothing to do with xenophobia. Your self-pity is becoming tiresome.

you are right, NATO should have made sanctions against russia much earlier for conquering krim and sending troops and weapons into donbas to attack ukraine...

Ukraine was an aggressor?.. Are you deranged?
Let's put aside pro-russian nationalists and saboteurs from Russia conveniently demanding an independence before the conflict started and how Russia kept supplying separatists with weapons for now.
Let's remember Igor Girkin "Strelkov", an ex-FSB officer, pro-russian separatist and a terrorist. Let's remember how he and his armed soldiers seized several government buildings in Sloviansk. Let's remember how Ukraine initiated counterterrorism operation against armed separatists. Let's remember how he butchered one of the first CT-squads to get there. Let's finally remember how HE HIMSELF said that HE is the one responsible for war in Eastern Ukraine. Should I even bring all the kidnapping and murdering allegations he bears?
As for why nobody took any action, Ukraine asked for Peacekeepers back in 2015. UN ignored it. In 2017 UN came to conclusion that they may need to deploy them now. Russia demanded that they are to be deployed ONLY at the borders of the conflict territory and ONLY if UN acknowledges LDNR as sovereign states.

The problem was that we've seen an 'honest referendum' back in Crimea. As honest as any elections in Russia.
Ed. Let me ask you one thing, just to be clear. If Finland would've seized Karelia right now, with armed people, through the same 'honest referendum', what are the chances that Putin recognizes them and don't send heavy bombers right away?

Surely 'the west' would have invaded Russia within the next year if papa Putin didn't invade Ukraine to stop the Nazis there. He and his buddy Lukaschenko aren't suppressing their own people to stay in power and clearly aren't very afraid they might lose that power and that's what drives this conflict. That's why Putin loves a lively opposition and free media in his country!

Who will benefit depends on the future. We will see. If russia takes ukrain they have the second largest gas resorvoir in europe under their control. Also they would secured a very important geopolitical and strategic location, if you think "the west" is your enemy or will be. But they paid the price in broken political friendships and hate and created more enemies. If they looose they gained nothing more than hate and distrust. USA on the other hand may benefit from this regardless of the outcome. But this are just asumptions. Like the saying: when two are fighting the third will win. It maybe benfitial for us economy if europe is in conflict with russia. And Europe... i mean we lost the freedom in europe and russia as our business partner. If ukrain can survive this, we may win another country into the euro constellation but for the price of human lifes. So there is no clear winner. Only time will tell. Lets hope the fighting stops soon!

Putin is a murderer. He shot, poisoned, imprisoned and whatever else he might have done to eliminate any opposition. He has done this to Russians, now he brings war to those he claims to be his brothers.

But what about this world?
Mostly good people spend their days finding a shred of "hope" or "good deeds" in the cesspool of evil.
The daily reminder that self-preservation is important seems to be the same.
(I don't have a Twitter or Facebook account, but I do have a reconnaissance tool.)
Well, Russia initially claimed that Facebook was full of Russian anti-government groups.
In Japan, Facebook claimed no connection, but there have been incidents in the past of illegal identification and personal attacks on specific Facebook posters. (The company involved, F-Secure, is now considered at fault.)
Evil people have crept into the shadows of peaceful times, and recently there was a spy arrest in Poland.
Japan? There are no laws against spies, so they will probably be fired from their jobs and left out in the cold.
(Oh, we've landed in a bad spot.)
I heard that such things in Russia have moved to Telegram.
As the story goes, the representative of RT in Russia seems to have left the company voluntarily after reporting on the protests against the Russian government. This was before the recent bill, so they must be safe.
After that, RT claimed that they didn't want the western countries to see RT and fabricate it, so they made it for Russia so that the general public western countries can't view it.
For Russians abroad, it claims to use TOR to make it viewable and how to use it is posted.
If you don't know how to use it, please read the instructions carefully.
It will be convenient for you in many ways.

From CNN's Radina Gigova in Atlanta
The evacuation of civilians from the Ukrainian cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha is expected to begin at 11 a.m. local (4 a.m. ET) but "we are currently working on the details," the head of the Ukrainian government Donetsk regional military administration, Pavlo Kirilenko, said on his official Twitter account.
Russian officials said the country would pause its bombardment in the cities from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time (2 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET) Saturday,
Kirilenko said that "it will be possible to leave by personal transport" during the pause, adding "a huge request to all drivers leaving the city to facilitate the evacuation of civilians."

Ukrainian government alleges Russian shelling violates agreement on two evacuation corridorsFrom Olga Voitovych in Kyiv
A Ukrainian minister has accused Russian forces of shelling the city of Volnovakha in the eastern Donetsk region, where an evacuation corridor was due to allow civilians to escape fighting on Saturday.
"At 11:45 the Russian Federation began shelling the city of Volnovakha with heavy weapons," said Iryna Vereshchuk, Minister of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories, in a video posted on Facebook. "As you know, we had a preliminary agreement that from 9:00 we will create two humanitarian corridors -- Volnovakha and Mariupol."
"Russia violated agreements even with the mediation of the Red Cross, [and] failed to fulfill its commitments and shelled the city of Volnovakha.""Vereshchuk said that fighting was also preventing the second corridor from the besieged city of Mariupol from operating.
"There is fighting taking place in the direction of Mariupol-Zaporizhzhia, near Pology-Orikhove, which prevents the movement of the column from Mariupol to Zaporozhzhia," she said.
"We call on the Russian side to end the shelling, return the ceasefire and allow columns of the humanitarian corridor to form so that children, women and the elderly can leave the settlements. "We also appeal to the Russian Federation to provide the opportunity to send humanitarian aid from the city of Dnipro and the city of Zaporizhzhia, especially those ones consisting of medicines and food.”

Russia says "offensive operations" have resumed in areas where evacuation corridors were agreed upon
From CNN’s Tim Lister in Kyiv and Mariya Knight in Atlanta
The Russian defense ministry said its forces have resumed their offensive in Mariupol and Volnovakha, where evacuation corridors had been arranged between Ukraine and Russia.
In a statement to Russian news agency TASS, the ministry said that "not a single civilian was able to leave Mariupol and Volnovakha along the announced security corridors."
"The population of these cities is being held by nationalist formations as human shields. The nationalist battalions took advantage of the silence to regroup and strengthen their positions," said Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian defense ministry.
"Due to the unwillingness of the Ukrainian side to influence the nationalists or to extend the ceasefire, offensive operations have been resumed from 18:00 Moscow time," Konashenkov said.
More background: The Russian defense ministry said earlier on Saturday it would stop bombarding Mariupol and Volnovakha, which have endured days of heavy, indiscriminate shelling.
Residents there have hunkered down in basements without power and with limited supplies of food and water, volunteers gathering information from the ground told CNN.
But just a few hours after the announcement to pause fire, a top Ukrainian regional official accused >Russia of breaking its agreement and evacuations were ceased.
Western news broadcasts showed Russian soldiers stopping evacuees from Mariupol and firing immediate shots at civilians immediately after shooting into the air.
In a statement to Russian news agency TASS, the ministry said that "not a single civilian was able to leave Mariupol and Volnovakha along the announced security corridors."

There are many places that have safeguards like that built into their judicial and organizational structures.
But if you haven't experienced anything close to those tragedies, you don't make arrangements to that extent.
In an oriental island nation, the prime minister has died of a sudden illness.
The next prime minister was appointed by someone a bit dubious.
(There were constitutional provisions, but they were sketchy, so democracy was temporarily crippled.)
Perhaps when any country has a person who is "acting strangely", they will do so.
When it is not working, I think the right thing to do is to temporarily distance ourselves from it.
(It is possible that they will recover and come to their senses.)
The question is how many tragedies will be created while we wait for them to cleanse themselves.
In the meantime, we must "record" the tragedies.
In the meantime, we must "record" the tragedies so that they are not erased.
Not to be tampered with.
In war, it is common for the temporary victors to try to erase history.
It is like a murderer trying to erase evidence.
Let us not let that happen.
That is why we are watching.
(Whenever possible)
There can be some sinful people lurking in the world who will embellish the facts somewhat for the sake of subscriber numbers.
What would happen if such acts during the war were discovered after the war?
Many things can happen.
And it often happens that after a long period of time, the parties involved disappear and the facts are bent.
History is forgotten and repeated.
Tragedies, too. Misfortunes.
Let's spend our days being careful not to let that happen.

I'm not able to donate money at this moment. Because I live in China. The government hates anyone who supports Ukraine. The bank refuses to send money to Ukraine.
So, I am donating game keys here instead.

You can perhaps try to donate through buying games.
For example - https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/227300/view/3099044462442297156
ETS2 just released Ukrainian paint job DLC of which income goes to Ukraine. I mean its only 1 EUR but its something. And you could probably try to find some game that costs more and donates that.... if steam is not banned

It could hurt Hindus and Buddhists.
(In the West, they are more likely to be considered one and the same.)
Well, that's...Clockwise.
They must have been off by 90 degrees when they printed the initials on their T-shirts.😂
I cannot hear Russian.However, I did get the vibe that they were bad-mouthing Ukrainians.
Well, replace 90 degrees.
In other words, it is an evil and fraudulent business practice diverted to "deceive people in their own countries who do not know the history of their foreign countries.
Well, I try to write "what's happening now" and "updates on what to do" but sometimes it's okay.
The funniest thing that came my way today was this📝.
I hope they stay in that shelter until the end of the war.

Really? That's what you felt that needed to be said?
Swastika is the commonly used word in the English language. And I'm not interested in debating how this might make Buddhists feel, as this isn't the relevant topic here. At all.

Is it ok to put here the summary of everything Russians did so far and why Poland is laughing at them and why we think that Ukrainians are GIGACHADs?
Or is it against the rules to laugh about Russian military as it can be seen as kicking them when they are down?
