The areas are Russian traditionally anyway so they are not being annexed read some history books and don’t report on emotion and projection.

20% actually, these regions declared independence with defined borders they had post-USSR, not the current frontline borders.

Putin can try to “annex” these territories, but Ukraine will just annex them right back. 😊

У меня вопрос.
Если ДНР и ЛНР станут частью России то проблема сепаратизма в Украине будет решена?
То есть Путин сделает то что обещал Зеленский во время своей предвыборной компании?🤔🤔🤔

It's not just 15% of Ukraine, its also 60% of Ukraine's GDP.

Russia is trying to gain a few square miles, but Russia is losing its future. Maybe forever. And way, way more square miles than just these.

Great move annex as much as you can.... Go on Russia

[denu]

I propose to do a referendum on Moscow, which i plan to prove that 100% of Russians agreed to annex Moscow to America.

What i propose is exactly the same as Putin's ideology in Ukraine lol... Foobar! 🤣

[mbcchase]

As of a long time ago, there is no need for peace talks

[leoqua]

In 2016 in the Netherlands here we vote against Ukraine! What did they do…. Right they did not listen. So now they have a big mouth to the referendums over there.
