3 thousand reds surrounded in Lyman. 20k plus cut of from lines in kherson, 300k Russian skilled workers have fled, Ukrainians continue to advance and Russian lines continue falling. Meanwhile vladolf Pootler is having parties. 🤣

I held a referendum in my house and the results are: I now own the moon.

Can you imagine how depressing it would be to have Russia as a neighbor? I can't imagine it. There are those who build, innovate and prosper and there are those, like Russia, who envy, covet and destroy all that is good. Just imagine what Russia could look like, given their resources and land. We are 75 years post WWII and the rest of the world has evolved and prospered while Russia is Russia.

That kind of holding hands, here in Africa especially in my country we do when we meet at a funeral.

If this is a celebration then I wonder how they look at a funeral....

Since the West very ok with Kosovo /Serbia case. Why this is a problem?

[jboycaceres]

Wow...I' really want to learn the "art of clapping" in authoritarian states. Seems that authoritarian countries have mastered that art.

[bricccwhy]

Putin has also declared himself to be immortal.

[grannyappleseed]

It makes no difference to the rest of us..
It'll NEVER be Russia

[glennf]

The UN should recognise Moskow as an independant state and that they should forfeit all the lands to the nearest neighbours. 🤣

[unclescipio]

Why doesn't he just claim Afghanistan, too? 🤡

[jars]

I read somewhere that hundreds of millions of years ago ago Russia and parts of North America where once joined. Using Putin's logic America can hold a special referandum operation and annex Russia 😂

[dazknight]

In this case, the pen is not mightier than the sword. So did the signature do anything besides look pretty? 🤔

It will be astonishing to Ukraine to know Donbass and Kherson are gone, considering they were told Ukranians would capture Crimea by next week.

[ericp]

For a nation that got Crimea’d, why is there astonishment? And neo-colonial? Are you saying NATO isn’t expanding? Who voted in Stoltenberg and Ursula?

[jeffreyrudolph]

No tribute will be extracted from these regions ?
