No, they don't. That's the thing. Even the Russian-speakers in Ukraine are revolted by Russia's action.
Also there's no such thing as "native Ukrainian" vs "native Russian" because Ukraine is a country with a civic definition of nationality, not an ethnic one. You're Ukrainian if you're a citizen of Ukraine. It doesn't matter whether your family originated from Ukraine, Russia, or Uganda: citizenship is nationality; nationality is citizenship. (This is a difference from Russia.)
Fronline combat is just a tiny, tiny part of the war effort. In a modern, professional western army, you've got like 8 or 9 non-combat military job for every single combatant. The rest is logistics, medical, logistics, technical, logistics, intelligence, logistics, administrative, and logistics, with a dash of logistics and some additional logistics for good measure. Combatants need food, they need medical care, they need supplies, they need intel, they need communication and coordination. All these non-combat tasks can be accomplished by non-combatants.
This is what happens in every guerilla. In every insurgency. In every resistance. And this is the kind of war Ukraine is fighting.
Civilians are also good at psy-ops. In some of the cities and towns that Russia managed to seize, there were constant protests against their presence. Not fighting. Just people standing on the streets with signs, shouting slogans. No weapon or violence. Seems pointless, but it demoralizes the Russian troops.
You mean we should gear up to hear more manure masquerading as news like a stinger bringing down a Russian TBM or a Ukrainian babushka knocking off a Russian drone with a bunch of cucumbers. Which among these newsbytes went more viral in trailer park community, sweetie?If true and are sent to the western flank Belarus army is screwed big time but if they are going in to support Kyiv operations then they are moderately screwed but a screwing either way is what Belarus is going to get.
If we go by russians stated aim of not occupying ukraine, they have all the time in the world to demolish ukraine given that nato has already thrown the towel. If russia announces they will be moving nukes & s500 to ukraine, nato will be pissing in their pants.This is a type of war where the Russians are going very, very soft on their enemy.
I'd understand if volunteers decided to stay, but everybody?!
what next , russians are pooping yellow shit supporting ukraine ?
Do you really believe Russia obeys the Geneva Conventions anyway?True. But in this case, Geneva Conventions do not apply to the civilians assisting the military. Has the military told the civilians about that?
They're very strange neo-nazis that have Jewish members LOL. I think they just hate Russians because they've had problems with them since Stalin and Putin is only exacerbating that.
If Putin had left they country alone, they could have all participated in an internationally monitored election. And yes, there are interviews proving it, the opinion of ethnic Russians in Ukraine has turned. FFS, even Russia's own astronauts are wearing the Ukrainian colours. Russian state journalists are resigning, everyone knows who's wrong (even Russians), except you and a few others on this forum.Come on, there's no opinion poll on it.
How about all these regions undergo a UN-sponsored referendum? Simple. You will see the result.
Let me ask ya this. You are a French guy, so what will happen if the EU decides French is no longer an official language of the EU? And that French have to learn German to get EU related jobs or interact with the EU?
There is. Ethnicity is part of their census.
True. But in this case, Geneva Conventions do not apply to the civilians assisting the military. Has the military told the civilians about that?

Belarus is not Russia, and it absolutely will be attacked if it gets involved. It's a dictatorship too.If true and are sent to the western flank Belarus army is screwed big time but if they are going in to support Kyiv operations then they are moderately screwed but a screwing either way is what Belarus is going to get.
The crime: Collaborating with the Nazis. The punishment: Excommunication from Judaism![]()
