There is no such thing as russian conscription refugees - all of the invading army consists of military contractors now. It was a brief period in 2022 where russia was forced to conscript to save itself from total loss.

Sorry, I meant killed and injured. I don't keep up with the numbers, but few years ago it was at least around half a million from both sides. I extrapolated it for last few years.

You see, millions are already killed in the biggest war in Europe since WW2 and it looks like this is just the prelude. Russia is threatening to fight Europe as of yesterday, continue to increase weapon production and militarisation. It is

Glad that you are thinking so much about Ukrainians. Don't forget that hundreds of thousands of russians are rotting in ditches as of now. Save some pity for them too.

If we dismiss the possibility that the post itself is a part of Russian propaganda to whitewash the soviet legacy (which they are engaging now at scale), then the next best explanation is that the author lacks the context of living in the U

I have the opposite experience - on macOS you can guarantee what users will see when you distribute your notarized app, while on Windows you cannot for undefined time. How often do you notarize your apps? Why does the speed matter at all? I

You can imagine all sorts of things, including the ones which are not true. The fact is that there are no proofs that any money donated by EU, US or other donors for Ukraine was misused. I’ll leave your imagination to judge why the most pow

Okay, so basically you’ve read some “anonymous sources” and decided they are true. Because for me, as a person who did international business from Ukraine it makes absolutely zero sense to launder through Ukraine as it is: 1) no part of any

The reason for that is simple - Russia started its invasion _after_ making Europe dependent on its gas. In Ukraine a lot of people predicted that the war is inevitable after the latest north stream is finished. The reduction of purchase of
