Volodymyr Zelenskyy urges allies to stop just ‘watching’ amid North Korea threat
Ukrainian president calls on countries to step in before troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reach battlefield
Ukraine’s president urged allies to stop “watching” and take steps before North Korean troops deployed in Russia reach the battlefield, while the army chief said his troops were facing “one of the most powerful offensives” by Moscow since the full-scale war began.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy raised the prospect of a pre-emptive Ukrainian strike on camps where the North Korean troops are being trained and said Kyiv knows their location. But he said Ukraine can’t do it without permission from allies to use western-made long-range weapons to hit targets deep inside Russia.
“But instead … America is watching, Britain is watching, Germany is watching. Everyone is just waiting for the North Korean military to start attacking Ukrainians as well,” Zelenskyy said in a post late on Friday on the Telegram messaging app.
I don't get it. Are Ukrainiens still fighting? Why? What is Russia going to do? Give them money like they gave it to Chechens after the war? Just stop this stupid dying and surrender already. Save some of my money.
And if the Russians went for your country too would you shout "surrender" then too? Do you have the slightest idea how much speech and media is controlled in Russia? Did the "joke" of Putin's political opponents accidentally falling off windows not translate in your head that that's not the type of govt to allow to rule over others?
I totally would surrender. Definitely wouldn't fight. Russians are not Israeli or Americans. They actually include people into their country instead of genociding/exploiting them for one resource or another.
lolwut
Lol yeah. Just look at the results. Everybody still speaks their languages even small ethnicities inside Russia free to teach their languages in school. Now contrast that to native Americans and their languages.
So the difference is not whether they're trying to be imperialists, but in their relative ability to do so. I'm sure there's some fascinating and useful graduate level historical analysis to be done in understanding why Russification was relatively unsuccessful, but that doesn't change the fact that Russia has time and again attempted to impose Russian culture, Russian language, and Russian law on parts of the Russian empire that were very happily doing their own thing.
It did that and it did the opposite. Meaning it was promoting local cultures many times in it's recent history. Including right now. No other major country in the world is doing that. That all to say that Russia is not as imperialistic as it's perceived. Rather the opposite. Especially as compared to ... Well anything else
Right.
Russia's immense respect for Ukrainian culture has defined this war
What about it? Two pieces of classic propaganda
Wait hang on you only read 2? I'm disappointed, I put a solid fifteen minutes into googling to find those 11 separate links.
Oh yeah didn't notice. Just s/2/11/
