    Your story about the suffering of people in Donetsk reminds me of my former room mate. His mother was born in Sevastopol and so he had Ukrainian citizenship, but rarely went there. He was always watching Russian TV and talking about how great Putin is and how but Western propaganda etc. In 2015 or '16 he actually visited his family in Crimea and after he came back he stopped watching Russian TV and never said anything positive about Putin again (at least in my presence) xD

      I have another story: in about 2014, Biden was caught on tape offering 10 million dollars to the Ukranian president of the time, poroshenko, in exchange for firing their head lawyer, AG, in favor of a more corrupt pro-American one which will do what the Americans want. Of course Poroshenko agreed.
      If you don't think America bribing literal presidents with millions of dollars is an issue, me and you need to have a more serious conversation at a level much higher than "your friend Bob that you totally didn't make up".

    I started travelling to Ukraine in 2011, my wife is from Donetsk and we lived near Donbass Arena in Donetsk. I love Donetsk, I liked it more than Kiev, then came the EURO Cup (football/soccer) and they upgraded the airport etc. Amazing city then it was bombed to shit in 2014/2015 and just picking up the pieces. Before Russia's first attack in 2014, Ukrainians that spoke Ukrainian and Ukrainians that mostly spoke Russian, got along just fine. My wife is Ukrainian that mostly speaks Russian and it is sad to see how Donetsk is now, under Russian control, compared to when it was under Ukrainian control.

      Donbas Arena & Donetsk Airport were very impressive. Donetsk Airport could rival many European Airports, and Donbas Arena was a great proper stadium. I know 2 battles happened at the Airport and it was shelled to oblivion in 2014-15. I’m not sure what happened to Donbas Arena, at best, it’s been abandoned since 2014, at worst, it was destroyed.

And of course thousands of football fans came to see it landing in Donetsk Airport which suffered heavy fights just 2 years later.

      It's sad because Ukraine just wants to exist as a fucking part of the western sphere of life and culture and for some reason that REALLY pisses off Putin. He wants isolationism except he has meddled in the affairs of basically every former USSR republic that existed before the dissolution. They could just let them be, the people of Ukraine who don't like western life can emigrate to Russia or Chechnya but instead we have an invasion that has turned into a terrible, costly war that, for what it's worth, has at least exposed Russia badly to the entire world. The corruption, like a swarm of moths, ate so many holes in it's military it utterly collapsed against a moderate military power which has only grown in size and strength. As others have said, Russia will take generations to recover from this and so will Ukraine all because of the sad, sad little man in the Kremlin. And none of it was remotely necessary to the existence of Russia.

    As a citizen of Vladivostok, the capital of Primorskiy region, I can confirm that the pavement change is something that everyone is extremely glad about, we don't really have a lot of walkable and newly repaired roads for pedestrians outside of the city centre. So I have to walk with cars breathing in their fumes and being exposed to splashes caused by them as there are plenty of rainy days and cracks in the roads here. 80% of money generated in our region goes straight to the federal budget and we have to live for the remaining part.

      Good driving and walking surfaces are indeed factors that increase the quality of life, but it’s funny how people keep getting excited for new roads and pavements in some places in the former eastern bloc. Most governments always promise and then severely underdeliver, only to make it into a news story when they finally build a tiny bit of road just before elections. Or in this case for propaganda that is so low in quality it almost feels like a parody that gives you second hand embarrassment, like for someone who keeps lying to you even when they know that you know that they’re lying.

    My mum had a Ukrainian woman and her young son move in. She is from the Donbas, she is worried about her mother who is still there and her older son who had to stay and fight. But now she has her own place here in the UK, she is enjoying the nature we have. Loving life a bit but has that worry in her head. She is staying strong for her son. She shows videos of what it really is like there right now and it is a far contrast to what Russia are showing

    I lived in Luhansk before the occupation. It was a common Ukrainian city till 2014 when russia gave weapons to local bandits who still rule there :( The most horrible thing is that all these years their propaganda was even stronger than russia's, especially in schools. They teach small children that those bandits are heroes. There is a good movie about it - Donbas (2018) by Loznytsia. Lost generation

Their village was destroyed by shelling, they just became homeless and had to move somewhere, so they called my dad and drove to us, crossing the frontline, not knowing if they are going to survive the road, then driving like 400 km through Ukrainian territory to our town. They had to leave behind their old grandparents who refused to leave the village, all of their remaining possessions, their old lives.

    The Russian obsession with WWII is genuinely very odd.

I lived in Russia for a while, and the sheer amount of things related to and named in honor of WWII never ceased to amazed me.. Like all the businesses and things named "ПОБЕДА" (Victory), the inescapable ribbon of saint George painted or hung just about every 100 meters, and so on. Then you add onto that the fact that so many Russians find this fetishization of WWII completely normal and not in the least bit strange, and it's just absurd. Roman, you are totally right... it is not normal to have such an intense emotional attachment to and fixation on an 80 year old victory.

My one friend who still remains constantly has to unfollow and refollow any of his friends who may have remotely pro-Ukrainain social medias (like mine, for example) in the case of the occasional police checks who can take his phone and look at his phone activity at any time. The mind blowing realization I've had about this war is that every single person I've met (both online and not) who are pro-Russian don't actually know a SINGLE person from Donbas. They spew all this "pro-Russian Donbas" rhetoric... yet they have never been there are spoken to anyone from there.

    Сделай видос про блогера Алекса Брежнева, который живя в Москве катается по миру со своим канадским паспортом и своей бумер-z аудитории рассказывает как загнивает Европа/Америка/Канада. При этом называет эти страны вражескими, попутно ездя к родителям в Бельгию погостить и закупиться техникой эпл. Недавно вот снова в Штаты поехал снять видео как они загнивают, плюс попутно купить жене пылесос и забрать свою новую канадскую банковскую карту. Кроме всего прочего у него есть телеграм канал, где прям людоедская кремлевская пропаганда + он всяких жуликов активно рекламирует. Думаю его канадским соотечественникам было бы любопытно узнать про него.

But unfortunately, Russia (today) defends its actions with American whataboutism, and sadly offers no alternative modernity that me and so many crave. Keep up the great work.
