a brief ukrainian faq for western slavists who get their money for knowing shit

some OTHER possible reasons ukrainians have relatives in russia:
- mass deportations
- better social lifts in the metropoly (hence, resettlement)
- significantly lower repression scale in russia
Ukraine's economy will collapse by 45.1% in 2022 while Russia’s will fall just 11.2%
And people say it’s wrong to boycott western companies who operate in Russia because of the pain Russians will feel
Their pain can’t begin to compare.
Ukrainians are hurt exponentially worse.
Can we negotiate with Russia? The answer is rather "no" but for more details - listen to our new "Explaining Ukraine" podcast https://t.co/c3Eqbj4rjr

An op-ed for state news agency RIA Novosti titled "What Russia should do with Ukraine" by pundit Timofei Sergeitsev has created quite a stir today
The rhetoric is truly horrific, even by the standards of what I'm used to seeing from pro-Kremlin media
Below are a few quotes:
Foreign media media write about Zelensky unique persona,yet he’s successful cause “he reflects what social scientists call Ukraine’s civic national identity”.He represents what people stand for. I give credit to his leadership- appeal to the best in us as humans&citizens @oonuch
A woman from Mariupol came to Hungary with 4 kids.
Her own.
Her sister’s kid (mother went to find water and disappeared).
Child of her killed neighbors.
She was running for an evacuation bus and saw a kid, sitting on the street next to his dead parents. She took him too.
Interesting to see how the @nytgraphics has changed their map symbology as the Russian war in #Ukraine️ unfolds. On Feb 26, large red arrows and an almost opaque red color shows Russian advances in Ukraine. Suggesting fast, large and controlled overtaking. 1/5
I want to thank from the bottom of my heart to all the caring people in different countries who are now accepting millions of Ukrainian women and children who have been forced to flee the war. We will always remember your help. Thank you for your humanity ❤️

Let’s talk about how #Finland can help #Ukraine in the struggle for independence against Russia. For one it could give/sell to Ukraine the Soviet Buk-M1 which it has in storage. 1/5 #StandWithUkraine
