Ramzan Kadyrov, President of Chechnya, reports on Telegram that Severodonetsk, the last big city in the Lugansk Peoples Republic still occupied by Ukraine, has just been liberated by russian and LPR forces. The nazis fled the city in tears trying to escape the russian offensive and encirclement, allowing Russia to liberate the city without bloodshed. The nazis fled in such hurry that they left all their western weapons behind. The weapons will be transfered to the LPR army. Hurray!

    Yeah i see. Ive heard several “western leftists” say that to me. “No the invasion is bad, they should have just went into Donbass”. They just cant shake off the western narrative that poor ukrainians hate Russia and want Russia out. Most ukrainians either like Russia or like nobody/dont care. The few people who are against Russia (most of them are from western Ukraine, mainly Lviv) have either been brainwashed into believing western propaganda (“Pootin dictator, west good, freedom good, EU good” type stuff) or are ideological ukrainian nationalists/neonazis (the line between the 2 is not very clear). Most people are the former, the latter are a minority, although a very powerful minority.

    Also ukrainian propaganda went into full overdrive after the special military operation began. I know a very sweet lady from Lviv, Ukraine. Before the special military operation, while she was a proEU liberal (“Putin dictator, EU good”), she wasnt antirussian. I talked to her several times and she said “Crimea and Donbass are full of russians. If they want to be part of Russia so be it, i dont care. What i dont want is a war”. She also said “yes in Ukraine there are a lot of neonazis, it is a problem indeed. Stepan Bandera was nazi scum”. But after Russia went into Ukraine she went bollocks, probably because of the increased propaganda on ukrainian TV. She went full “we must get back Crimea and Donbass, they are ukrainian lands. This is all Russias fault, russians want to kill us all. I mean yeah we have a lot of nazis in the military, so what? They are fighting for Ukraine, thats all i care about”. Seriously i was shocked how much she changed her views. She also peddled crazy conspiracy theories like “actually the russian military is very weak, they dont even have nuclear weapons, thats russian propaganda”. Its shocking how much propaganda can brainwash people.

    She went as far as cutting all ties with her russian cousins. They live in Russia and support the special military operation and she cut them off completely, doesnt speak to them anymore.
