The population is suffering a die-off and it's dis-proportionally impacting the suicidal/retarded who don't see how the game is being played and who would fight and die for the current power structures who are molding Ukraine's demographics as we speak. Russia is just being used as a tool for the project.
Maybe it isn't such a good idea to beat up a large contingent of one's population if they are heard speaking their mother tongue. Unless, of course, problems are exactly what the leadership/owners want. As the pain of the war drags on and intensifies, what is left of the more historic Ukrainian population is increasingly willing to accept any fate offered to them by the technocrats. It's not clear that that would have been the case absent a significant trauma.
Besides, unlike in the US, when the wrong people were in office in Ukraine, millions migrated elsewhere. These people are still Ukrainians. When you take their vote of migration into account, the overwhelming majority wants peace... didn't even want the war in the first place... didn't even want the current regime at all... didn't want Zelensky. That's the majority of Ukrainians because half a million Ukrainians have died in the war.
Bring peace to Ukraine, and these Ukrainians just might come back.
Watch: Russia Mounts Ballistic Missile Strike On Western Arms Depot In Ukraine
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-russia-mounts-ballistic-missile-strike-western-arms-depot-ukraineThe Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday published footage purporting to show the destruction of a large warehouse filled with US-supplied weapons, specifically including a HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system. The depot was destroyed by a Russian ballistic missile, with the video showing an extensive building engulfed in huge flames.
Russian media details that the US-supplied HIMARS system was "discovered by a surveillance drone and was tracked to a hangar in the village of Novopetrovka, in Ukraine's Nikolayev Region."
"The location was hit by a ballistic missile fired by an Iskander-M system, the Russian military reported on Monday, adding that the HIMARS and its crew had been destroyed," the report continues. The destruction and aftermath was then filmed by Russian surveillance drones.
Meanwhile, Ukraine launched its own attack, this time sending drones to Russia's Krasnodar Region's Kavkaz port, which lies on the eastern side of Kerch Strait.
It was a rare moment that Ukraine attacked a ferry, resulting in a handful of casualties and one death.
"The Kiev regime has once again attempted to carry out a terrorist act on the territory of the Krasnodar Region. This morning the drones attacked a ferry in the port of Kavkaz. Unfortunately, there are casualties and a fatality among the crew members and port employees," the region's governor wrote on Telegram.
A fire also resulted after the rare attack on the ferry as it was in operation. However, reports suggest the ferry was not carrying large groups of civilians at the time it was struck.
Ukraine has not backed off its frequent cross-border drone strikes on Russian territory. Moscow has at the same time stepped-up its targeting of Western assets and weapons inside Ukraine, in a continued escalation spiral.
