The operation is aimed at what Putin called the "demilitarization" and "denazification" of Ukraine.

I was born in a war torn country. I know what feels like to run away from bombs. May God bless everyone who’s affected by this.🙏

War will not decide who is right, it decides only who's 😞

I spent my childhood in war and my youth in war and I still pray for peace for the Ukrainian and Russian people ♥️ I love you from Iraq 🇮🇶

That shitty speech didn't age well

[Zztoph]

Billions of Regular people: "We don't want war. We just want to live in peace."
Few old farts from government: "WORLD WAR III".

I feel so bad for Ukrainian people, so many poor people's life's are at risk especially children. Please everyone pray for those people and for Ukraine 🙏🙏

Edit: RIP to the 57 Ukrainians who died during this Russian invasion

Ukraine has a stronger national identity than ever before

NATO's borders have expanded closer to Saint Petersburg (Putins birthplace) than ever before with Finland joining, ending Finnish neutrality which was carefully cultivated over generations

Same with Sweden, when Sweden inevitably joins NATO, the Baltic Sea will become a NATO lake

Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia have officially applied to join the EU

Ukraine applied for NATO membership

Russias version of NATO, the CSTO, has been exposed as completely useless, incapable of defending Armenia

Russias influence over central Asia is melting away, being replaced by Communist China's influence

Putin's "Trump card" by blackmailing the EU with Natural Gas/Oil has turned out to be ineffective

The EU us more united than ever before, showing the willingness to flex it's economic muscle and imposing extensive sanctions

Western countries (especially Germany) who have previously underfunded it's forces are finally stepping up, investing hundreds of Billions of Euro's into their armies, dwarfibg Russia's funds by comparison

Any Communist Chinese plans to invade the Republic of China on Taiwan have been put on hold, perhaps forever

Russia is becoming economically reliant on Communist China, pushing the former superpower closer towards vassal-status fir Communist China of all places

Russia's weapons, tanks and other equipment have been exposed as completely outdated in many regards, creating more business for Western manufacturers

The Russian "Brain drain" has massively escalated, with over 1 Million Russians leaving the country in 2022 alone


The list of catastrophic consequences for Rusdia, caused by the decisions of one single man, Vladimir Putin, is astonishing

My heart is with every Ukrainian citizen. They do not deserve this in any sense. 🇺🇦

Why won't they let us see the full speech with English translation?

[lordoftherings]

I’m still waiting for the “consequences your country has never seen in its history”. Putler the clown has failed every thing he has said.

[Kizz]

Smh this is scary I feel bad for the people including the children that has to be forced to defend their country it’s sad

[musicilya]

As a Russian person, who lives in the United States, this news really saddens me. I feel like I'm paralyzed inside of me. I have nothing else to say...

[jennifergarcia]

I will be thinking of all the frightened grandparents, parents, kids and animals with a heavy heart. This sucks

[AgonizingDemise]

My heart goes out to annyone affected by this. I hope for them that the situation will de-escalate as soon as possible.

[letsplay]

My heart💔 seeing and hearing this news .. I always include these two countries in my prayers 😔🙏 Hoping for peace to all of us here on earth, no more war just love 💕🙏

9 months later Russia has lost ground and has largely stalled due to massive losses. They even have to mobilize more troops lol
