Hear what CNN reporter noticed about crowd watching Putin's speech

Russian President Vladimir Putin said four occupied Ukrainian regions will become part of Russia “forever,” during his Kremlin speech that announced the illegal annexations. CNN’s Matthew Chance and Nick Paton Walsh react to Putin’s speech. #CNN #News

[@victorjcano]

Vladimir Putin consulted with a fortune teller. He asked: “How long will I live?” The psychic replied: “I cannot tell that but I do know you will die on a Ukrainian holiday.” “Which holiday?” Putin asked. “Whichever day you die will be a Ukrainian holiday.”

[@Larissa-Vegan]

Hi, I’m from Russia, Saint-Petersburg. Here my thoughts out loud about of Russian-Ukrainian war. Today the death sentence was signed for a lot of Russian husbands and sons. Ukrainians are fighting for their lands and they will do it to their last soldier. For them, this is a holy war. And almost the whole world supports them. Hitler, too, could not stop in his madness and eventually, together with his entourage, killed millions of his own and others' people. And he ended up just shooting himself. Illiterate politics in our country first started destroying our economy and is now destroying our strong population - our sons and husbands. We, the Russian people, do not gain anything from such actions, but only continue to lose: the economy, people and face for the entire world community. A friend of mine told me the other day that his nephew had recently returned from the front, and then only because only 11 of the 75-man unit survived. Our government does what it wants, threatening the world with nuclear war, and Russian people with prison, i.e. it just keeps people in fear. Is this normal?! It's no secret that not only Russians possess nuclear weapons. The other day, the American government openly stated that in the event of the use of nuclear weapons by the Russian military, nothing will stop them. I quote from euronews: "NATO Secretary General said that Russia will not be able to win in a nuclear conflict" I am not leaving the country yet just because there is no opportunity, the situation simply does not allow it. Perhaps I will be sent to prison, some concentration camp ((( But I'm just expressing my thoughts, my protest, disagreement with everything that is happening. Larissa Boykova. 30.09.2022 Russian language Всем привет! Я из России, Санкт-Петербург. Далее мои мысли о войне России с Украиной. Сегодня был подписан смертный приговор очень многим русским мужьям и сыновьям. Украинцы бьются за свои земли и они будут это делать до последнего своего солдата. Для них - это священная война. И практически весь мир их поддерживает. Гитлер тоже не мог остановиться в своем безумии и в итоге вместе со своим окружением погубил миллионы своих и чужих людей. И все закончилось тем, что он просто застрелился. Неграмотная политика в нашей стране сначала начала уничтожать нашу экономику и теперь уничтожает наше сильное население. От таких действий мы, русские люди, ничего не выигрываем, а только продолжаем терять: экономику, людей и лицо для всего мирового сообщества. Мне знакомый на днях рассказал, что его племянник на днях вернулся с фронта, и то, только потому, что из подразделения в 75 человек выжило только 11. Наше правительство делает, что хочет, угрожая миру ядерной войной, а русским людям тюрьмой, т.е. просто держит людей в страхе. Разве это нормально?! Не секрет, что ядерным оружием обладают не только русские. На днях американское правительство открыто заявило, что в случае применения русскими военными ядерного оружия, их уже ничего не будет останавливать. Цитирую из евроновостей: "Генсек НАТО заявил, что РФ не сможет одержать победу в ядерном конфликте" Я пока не уезжаю из страны только потому, что возможности нет, просто ситуация не позволяет. Возможно меня отправят в тюрьму, какой-нибудь концлагерь((( Но я просто выражаю свои мысли, свой протест, несогласие со всем происходящим. Бойкова Лариса. 30.09.2022г.
