Ukrainians aren't the first victims of russian empire, they are the first who fight back with a decent success. Many others are russified already - their history and identity erased, yet they are still second class citizen cause they don't have "slavic" facial features. But my original point stands - Ireland not only selling alumina to russia but russians owning a whole whooping plant in Ireland is literally worse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 point 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Mika@piefed.ca 3 points 5 months ago All of Ukraine would be in russian occupation zone if not for relentless resistance since 2014.
