Have you forgotten the only reason why she may have to live in an orphanage is because Russia illegally started an unprovoked war under false pretense. The Russians broken thousands of families and if that isn't enough now they want their kids to. That is if Wagner group don't get to them first. They would have been tortured, raped, and buried in unmarked mass graves. For the record. She wasn't in an orphanage. She was taken from her foster parents. Who knows what happen to them.

[@spelunkerd]

In the referendum of 1991, even oblasts like the Donbas and Crimea (which are broadly Russian speaking) showed that over 60% of locals wanted separation from Russia. Even those who speak Russian are wary of subjugation by a far away, corrupt dictator. Historically Stalin killed millions of farmers, many of whom were Ukrainian, to feed citizens at home while those in Ukraine starved. So, don't be lured into a black and white story that all who speak Russian will want to join an authoritarian state ruled from afar.

Same old ancient brutal playbook -- murder the parents, then take and convert the orphans to bond into slaves to continue the atrocities.

Yet, this kind of vile and gruesome tactics against civil population in occupied territories has been present in Eastern Europe since 1920-s and in Baltic states and in former European WP countries since 1940-s. If anyone wonders why Baltic states and Poland have such a strong solidarity towards Ukraine - this is all collective deja vu for us.

For a man "claiming" to "denazify" (not a word) a region, he is sure acting alot like a Nazi the way he has invaded Ukraine, and targeted Ukrainian civilians. Russia has gone from Communism, when it fell back in the 90's, to now a Fascist regime and government. Yet, every year Russia celebrates to this day, a week of parades and parties as to how they defeated Nazi Germany in WW II. Anyone but me see a problem with this whole scenario, and why the war in Ukraine is just so damn bad?
