Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

Are you saying that this specific post by Artess is claiming persecution? Are you saying that the claimrs Artess made in this post are false? I would say...it's complicated.

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

What isn't true? That Russia invaded because Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers. They overwhelmingly elected one.

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine
