For example, local residents are under pressure to obtain Russian passports. Yes, because they're Russian Citizens now.

Maybe they should have a vote...?
Oh wait, they did in 2014.
To leave the Ukraine overwhelming passed.
And were violently crushed by the Ukrainian military.
But...but...my Kosovo.

They should offer anyone who wants it a one way ticket to Kiev.

locals often formed "huge queues" trying to get Russian passports.
I heard about this too. They couldn't wait to ditch their Ukrainian passports.

What a load of crap. This absurd propaganda.

15 Months ago, ukraine was a country of some 40M souls; now it is a pseudo-nation of some 28M souls. Exiters being interviewed on their way out have all said the same thing i.e. no way in hell are they coming back. Who the hell would want to live in a nazi shithohle whose leaders were stupid enough to start a war against Russia???

“So they have deliberately created a situation where you get problems if you have Ukrainian papers, you have to deal with red tape, you have to wait.”
Makes sense, they’re in Russia now. Considering the well-documented level of CORRUPTION in Ukraine, I can see why the new authorities won’t accept Ukrainian IDs as legitimate.

“I heard about this too. They couldn’t wait to ditch their Ukrainian passports.”
Months ago, Patrick Lancaster did a video on this, so not sure why they came up with this now.

If they are Russian citizens then they need to depart Ukraine and go back to Russia. Be gone.

Russia is channelling huge amounts of money into pension payments for residents of Mariupol, raising them in many cases compared with what they received from the Ukrainian authorities before the war. So residents of Mariupol are able to draw two pensions - one from Russia, another from Ukraine. Naturally, it is a situation many local pensioners are happy with.What a nightmare. The horror of Russian occupation.

Like it or not...Yep. And this war will likely end with Russia keeping much, if not all, of their recent gains.
Oh well... Borders change.

Yep. And this war will likely end with Russia keeping much, if not all, of their recent gains.I think Ukraine is going on an offensive this spring/summer and they'll go after Crimea to end the war. If the Russians are able to defend, I believe that we will see a ceasefire where the Russians will hold on to the occupied territories of Ukraine and Crimea.

We can give Ukraine everything they ask for with the exception of more Ukrainians. And Ukraine will run out of fighting men long before Russia will.
