Have you told them that? Because they have already officially annexed 4 different oblast.....

[–] finderscult@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They haven't, they are securing territory in a war, which isn't annexation.

Right, they're even holding elections there!

They're over seeing elections held by a different government. I know you uke supporters hate facing reality but those are different countries now. Your guys did a genocide and the victims decided to be different countries instead of just dying.

They're certainly not holding elections in Ukraine, but the regions under Russian control very much did have elections.

Lol, and America's military is only used to spread freedom......

You guys are just pissing on each other and calling it rain.

Even if that were the case, this is not a reason to destroy millions of people more. People's lives matter the most. Russia definitely does not kill anyone unarmed and does not torture in these territories. And Russia has stated many times that it does not want to seize the whole of Ukraine.
