    Yeah, in case of Ukrainians they know that if they surrender it still won’t be over, the next thing will be killing them and moving them to far east until the Ukrainian identity is completely erased.

      The constant refrain of “Russia wants to kill every Ukrainian”. It’s never made sense. There has never been any reason to believe that the goal is to kill Ukrainians.

      Can you lay out exactly why you think that Russia will kill Ukrainians once the war is over? Can you lay out why you think the goal is to kill Ukrainians?

          The stated goal is killing the Ukrainian identity, a.k.a. genocide.

          Is it? Can you point me to anywhere that that’s the stated goal?

          Never has the stated goal included wanting to genocide Ukrainians. To say that’s the case is to pretend your imagination is reality.

        1. Putin was never hiding that in his opinion Ukraine has no particular cultural significance or uniqueness
        2. If you watch interviews of Muscovies they want to exterminate Ukrainians some people didn’t even have problem with saying that Ukrainian children should be murdered
        3. there are already brutal attacks on Ukrainian civilians and many documented war crimes
        4. nearly a million of Ukrainian kids were kidnapped and sent to Muscovies, that’s basically a textbook example of genocide

        Do you believe things will get better if they have full control over Ukraine?
