🇺🇦 INTERESTING FACTS THE MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT WAR IN UKRAINE 🇺🇦
– It has one of the lowest civilian to military casualty ratios of any major conflict.
– As of 07/24 there were 11,520 civilian casualties, almost a third caused by Ukraine.
– Minus the first month of invasion, there were 7,600 civilian casualties in 2.5 years of wаr
– Millions of Ukrainians fled to Russia since 2014, more than to any other country.
– Russian people mostly had a positive image of Ukrainians, even after the wаr started.
– A 2019 study found that 82% of Russians and 79% of Ukrainians see each other positively.
– Most Ukrainians speak Russian as 1st or 2nd language – Zelensky is a native 🇷🇺 speaker.
– Millions of Ukrainians, mostly in eastern and southern Ukraine, are pro-Russia.
– Ukrainians are under forced mobilisation with frequent conscription raids in public places. Men are forbidden from leaving the country.
– There is no forced mobilisation in Russia. Manpower needs are currently fulfilled through voluntary contracts. Recruitment advertisement is common and works best in impoverished areas as payment is well above average income.
– Extreme Ukrainian nationalism is native to Western Ukraine. Ukrainian nationalists allied with Nаzis during WW2 and committed vast atrocities against Jеws, Soviets, Poles and others.
– The CIA established an alliance with Ukrainian nationalists after WW2 in a bid to take over the Soviet sphere of influence. This is stated in declassified documents.
– In 2014 the democratically elected government of Ukraine was forced to step down after pro-West demonstrations snowballed into violence.
– Several sources indicate that the escalation was sought-after as a well known means of regime change, with the support and organisation of Western governments and NGO’s.
– Zelensky was elected on a peace platform that promised peaceful co-existence between ethnic Russians and Ukrainians as the Donbass wаr ragеd. The opposite happened after he was elected.
– Putin’s wаr criminаl status is solely related to the forceful evacuation of children from frontline areas. This is done by both sides and a common wаrtime practice, the claim here being that Russia evacuated Ukrainian children – which in that sense amounts to “kidnapping.”
– Before they were hailed as “heroes,” the Azov Battalion was regarded as a viоlent nationalist group with links to nаzism and terrified locals in Mariupol where it was deployed to curb pro-Russian dissent.
