Time to wash the red off the Russian flag.

78% of Ukrainian citizens have relatives or friends who died or were injured as a result of the Russian invasion. These are the results of a study conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
According to the survey, 63% of respondents have at least one close relative or friend who died. It is noted that, on average, the respondents know closely at least three people who did not return from the war, and that the respondents’ answers are approximately the same in all regions of Ukraine, from east to west.
The survey was conducted from May 26 to June 5 by the method of telephone interviews based on a random selection of mobile numbers. Thus, sociologists surveyed 2 thousand 13 respondents over 18 years of age. Residents of Crimea, Sevastopol, and certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions did not participate in the study – that is, territories that were not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine until February 24, 2022. Citizens who went abroad after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion were also not interviewed.
The Ukrainians, justifiably, are going to hate us after this war is over. Hundreds of thousands of dead loved ones lost in a failed proxy war whose goal was to enich the West's political elite and oligarchs.
78% seems high to me.
Freedom will be achieved when there are zero white males...
The better question would be if a close relative died in the war. And they need to define what’s a close relative is.
Have the Russians no responsibility for all of these deaths?

Their hatred is going to be directed at the Russians, the one's who are killing their loved ones. Additionally, the Ukrainians are fighting to maintain their freedom from the Russians. I know that you do not want to hear it, but the Ukrainians are not Russians and do not want to be Russians. This war is only going to increase their hatred of the Russians.
Time to wash the red off the Russian flag.
Can you quote yourself from the “Rebellion” date?
Go ahead, post 10 of your posts.
Do they age well?...
To the last Ukrainian!
What percentage of Russians have a relative who has been killed or wounded in the war?
If there is a family of six and one is murdered by Putin’s terrorists then that is five people replying they know someone killed.
This end result of neocon foreign policy -- WE are seen, correctly, as the world's bully and manipulator. And, that perception is going to have consequences for American citizens.

Thanks, I didn’t think about that.
I think that the survey did not include some very important information. Specifically, how many people have fled Ukraine and never intend to return and their knowledge of those that have died and been harmed.
Let me give you some context. Two of my grandparents were born, married, had children and then left a small village not far from Odessa. Yes, I had uncles, aunts and lots of cousins who were born in the area that is not at war with Russia. I have cousins who have recently fled Ukraine and are now living in Germany and some are trying to move to the USA.
I have “extended family” that are in the cross-hairs of Russian rocket and artillery attacks on civilian Ukraine infrastructure. Most of Ukraine is on a full war footing and so most Ukrainians know people who are serving in the military, been in combat, had property destroyed by the Russian invasion, etc.
For some of us, this is not fighting to the death of the last Ukrainian, for some of us this is supporting those we are related to in their quest to save their country from Russian invaders. To understand the history of Ukraine, you have to understand how orders from Moscow have meant death to generations of Ukrainians. Do you know the meaning of Lenin's hanging orders? How about Stalin's purges (yes, I had a cousin who was “destroyed” (not just executed) during one of Stalin's purges. Do you know what the Holodomor was and the starvation with Soviet military guards stationed at the borders of Ukraine to keep the starving from leaving the country? Yes it was genocide. Do you know the history of orders from Moscow deporting Ukrainians to distant parts of the Soviet Union and Russia so that ethnic Russians could repopulate Ukraine?
Generations of people from Ukraine have been harmed by orders from Moscow. No More.
So what is the future if Russia beyond Putin even if he manages to rule for another year (or ten years)?
Kazan is the name of a city in Russia. That may be where the poster is from.
That’s a cowardly misdirection, but I will answer.
I have no F’n clue.
Russians are crazy. I’m an American USAF Vet. I have no clue what is going through their minds.
I do know this.
They are backed in to their country, nowhere to run.
I know I would rather die in a blaze of glory than give my enemies a cent of satisfaction.
Obviously, Ukraine has many less people than the faggot country that attacked them, so this “revelation” is par for the course.
Proxy war my ass. You can characterize it any way you please. There was no reason for faggot ass pooty poot to attack Ukraine in 2014 regardless of your limp dick claims about nazi’s and Ukraine oppressing Russian speaking citizens or whatever bullshit excuse you cocksmokers love to claim is the true reason your faggot ass dicktater attacked Ukraine.
Really don't care anymore who you blame. Russians are assholes in general and the more dead Russians there are, the better off humanity remains.
Ukrainians are no saints either, but if you attack my home, I will fight to the death to kill you with whatever I can get my hands on, so I would never blame the Ukrainians for fighting.
Proxy war. Yeah, right. Ask the grunts on the ground if they feel they're being forced to fight for Ukraine. I'm sure many feel that way, but if they truly wanted to surrender and continue to live oppressed by those faggot ass Russians, they could have and would have laid down their arms.
History has shown the world exactly how Russian's treat those they've conquered. Nobody in their right mind would want to live under that oppression.
I don't want to pay for the Ukrainians to fight, but what else should we do? Abandon them to the faggot ass Russians? That would be uncivilized!
Side question
What did Libya do to destroy its society, followed by a 12 year long civil war, followed by YouTube slavery auctions?
