      Why turn Ukraine into Cambodia when you could just order your troops to go home instead…?

      The whole wanting Ukraine as a buffer state doesn’t really make sense when you’re just annexing the buffer territory anyways.

        Russia doesn’t want to annex Ukraine, and they have never stated as such. I don’t know where you people got confused.

                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.

            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.
