We, representatives of the indigenous nations of Russia, call on our fellow citizens – servicemen and those liable for military service who belong to indigenous nations, and other nations of the Russian Federation – urging them not to take part in the shameful war that is called a “special military operation” in Ukraine.

Soviet and Russian journalist, TV and radio presenter, director Svetlana Sorokina expressed her opinion on the results of a sociological survey, according to which 74% of Russians approve the “Russian military operation to protect Donbas”, which is actually a war unleashed by the Russian Federation, and a genocide against Ukrainians.

The “Bucha massacre” is, of course, the biggest stain on the reputation of the Russian Federation in the current war. Although officially Russia continues to bend its favorite line “you are all lying!!!”, unofficially, a slightly different work is felt.

A well-known Ukrainian translator, writer and blogger, asks Ukrainians not to unleash their anger on the indigenous peoples of Russia.

One of the main ambassadors of Russia’s imperial policy Igor “Strelkov” Girkin – he has been tearing his hair out because of the idiocy of Russia’s actions for almost a month now. A former FSB colonel, a veteran of the Transnistrian conflict and a direct participant in the events of 2014, he speaks of the incompetence of the leadership to the right and left in such a way that we fear that he might mysteriously disappear one these days.

Having made its “goodwill gesture”, that is, having shamefully fled from all over the north of Ukraine (even as it was bashfully colored in strokes on fresh Russian maps), Russia finally managed to count the chickens before they hatched. That is reported by CNN.

Against the background of accusations of genocide against the Ukrainian people and personnel from the northern suburbs of Kyiv, RIA Novosti began to regularly publish footage of a peaceful life in Kherson and other occupied cities in the south. One can speculate on the level of staging in such videos, but something has become known that no filming of people in the bazaar will show. Mustafa Dzhemilev said that pre-trial detention centers in the occupied Crimea are overcrowded with Ukrainians.

The Internet is spreading a photo with the inscription in the toilet “And who allowed you to live well?” This phrase in various variations also sounds from the mouths of Russian soldiers captured in Ukraine and can become the true motto of this military campaign.
