I’m just showing these comments I saw earlier, which were interesting. Since it is true, that we’ve been hearing that “Russia is cornered”, since the invasion started. I personally just want this shit to end.

These comments are relating to an article from this week.

I wonder if we will ever know what truly happens on the ground (i.e. when it comes to casualties and many other things)

    It was about 30% vs 30%. Here’s from the UK government Scoping Study:

    It is clear from the results of recent opinion polls (see Appendix C below) that the majority of the Ukrainians do not have an informed opinion about the European integration processes. On average, opinion polls show that about 30% of respondents are in favour of European integration, 30% - for the Customs Union, and about 30% are undecided. The share of citizens supporting the two blocks at the same time remains stable (25-30%). One trend during 2011-2012 is noteworthy - the number of supporters of integration with Customs Union increased at the expense of the “undecided”.

    Note: Customs Union = Eurasian Customs Union which was the Russia’s alternative with Belarus and Kazakhstan. For the most part, Yanukovych wanted to appease to both sides, and was punished by the ultranationalists for it.

    However, supporting EU integration doesn’t mean supporting the coup.
