  • Which words? If you mean Roskomnadzor, it's a typical example of the bureacratic newspeak, invented in Russia during the establishment of the Communist regime. It's meant to terrify.

    Russians join Ukrainian battalion to fight against their own country
  • The Siberian battalion consists mostly of people "from ethnic minorities from Russia's far east". Modern Russia is a huge quasi-empire, with Muscovy oppressing all the colonized nations and regions. Ukrainians, being formerly colonized, feel with all the oppressed nations and support their fight for freedom.

    That's why Ukrainians actively support the "Free Nations League" https://freenationsleague.org/ and this Siberian battalion. Imperialism is deeply ingrained in the flesh and bones of Muscovy, so Ukrainians are wary of it.

    Muscovy destroyed the democracies of the medieval republics: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novgorod_Republic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pskov_Republic

    Ukrainians have way more in common with these democracies, which were the closest allies of the ancient Kyiv state, than with Muscovy, which has always sought to oppress and enslave Ukraine.

    Whatever Muscovy says, it will inevitably seek to oppress due to the law of "imperial boomerang" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_boomerang

    We can be true friends only with free people of independent nations.

  • Ireland plans to dramatically cut welfare benefits for Ukrainian refugees
  • Thank you for your kindness. Ukraine is in indeed subjected to daily attacks. Fortunately most of the missiles are shot down, but air raids in the middle of the night or at any time of the day are stressful.

    I have a nice place to live in Ukraine, but many refugees have nowhere to return to.
