My wife is one of those Russian speakers in the Donbas that Putin tries to make political hay out of. Most Russian speakers are not “ethnic Russians”. The whole separatist movement was a Moscow creation as part of their land grab. They used agents, bribes, threats, well-financed propaganda, other Mafia tactics, select disappearances, and nothing really worked for them in the Donbas until they sent in troops covertly in 2014.
It is Moscow that practiced genocide against Ukraine and has since before Stalin’s time. In Stalin’s time Ukraine faced the Holodomor and aside from the artificial famine, part of my wife’s extended family was sent to Solovki near the Arctic Circle. That part of the gulag is in Solzhenitsyn’s THE GULAG ARCHEPELAGO.
The Russians are practicing genocide in their part of the temporarily occupied Donbas today. You have been grossly misinformed by Moscow’s disinformation machine. Putin is pure evil. Yes, Soros and Biden are evil too but Putin is to blame for the hundreds of thousands of dead in the Ukraine war.
Death to the invaders! Liberate Alchevsk!
Zelenskyy has made it impossible for Russian ethnics to maintain their identity in the Ukraine. He is fully intending to eliminate Russian culture and people within his border. It’s genocide that he’s after.
I am aware of what Stalin did. He killed 30 million Ukrainians and replaced them with White Russians. As many as 60 million ethnic Ukrainians were murdered by Stalin. Zelensky has decided that payback is in order by doing it to the Russians within his borders.
If you are on Zelenskyy’s side, you are on the side of the globalists who want the world and its resources under their control and for their benefit.
The war could have been avoided by talking with Putin and enforcing narrow objectives. Now, there won’t be many Ukranians left and Russia will have gotten its way anyway.
