Surrender and live under the Russian thumb or fight and give you and your children a shot at freedom.

Depends on how the ceasefire is set-up. There would probably be a large area in western Ukraine for those that dont want to live in the newly formed Republic/s.

From Fox News:
Ukrainian officials have accused Russian military forces of hitting a storage tank filled with nitric acid in the city of Rubizhne, located in the Luhansk region.

“We are aware of reports of this incident, and are looking into it as we await further details," the State Department told Fox News. "We are concerned about the harm to anyone in the vicinity that a nitric acid leak may cause. it is clear Russia’s forces continue to bombard cities and critical infrastructure across Ukraine and commit terrible acts of violence."

“Unclear as to the scope of the effects and unclear at this time if the strike was part of a strategy to weaponize the stored chemicals," a senior US defense official told Fox News. "But obviously this is cause for concern and we are monitoring.”

Additionally, a government expert tells Fox News that "if the tank held fuming nitric acid and the intent was to release the toxic nitrogen dioxide gas whose inhalation effects are similar to phosgene or chlorine, then it might be called a Chemical Weapons event."

Russia’s war against Ukraine Daily updates as Moscow’s full-scale invasion enters its second month — Meduza

A blueprint for genocide in Ukraine
In a shocking essay that openly advocates the “de-Ukrainianization of Ukraine,” columnist Timofei Sergeitsev offers what is essentially a blueprint for the genocide of Russia’s neighbor. In the text (published as an op-ed by the state-run news agency RIA Novosti), he develops ideas about the illegitimacy of Ukrainian statehood that Vladimir Putin has endorsed, adding that most of Ukraine’s population has “passively” enabled a “Nazi regime.”

To rectify this supposed situation, Sergeitsev proposes “reeducation” built on “ideological repression” that features control of the mass media and school curriculum, among other things. (He clarifies, however, that Ukraine’s “Banderite” high command and any “hopeless Nazis” should be “liquidated” outright.) Sergeitsev insists that Ukraine must lose its sovereignty in this process, which will last at least a generation. Russia has to manage this process, he says, claiming that Ukraine’s “artificial ethnocentrism” is a perversion of Greater Russia’s “natural borders.”

Sergeitsev concludes by claiming that Russia is actually the world’s last defender of “historical European values,” having performed selfless services to the West by developing socialism, defeating German fascism, and offering its friendship to the West in the 1990s. He also argues that Russia will now turn from the West and embark on its own path as a “leader in the global process of decolonization.” Given the West’s efforts to “tempt” Ukraine, Russia’s actions there now also constitute a form of decolonization, Sergeitsev says.

Lol. Russia will be lucky if Ukraine doesn’t annex parts of Russia in the next 50 years.

Do yourself a favor and watch this video. These are the people you're defending.

Lol. I am not defending anyone. I am just not standing with Ukraine just because the media tells
Me to like you. I completely disagree with what Putin is doing. Zelensky is POS though. Yet you and some others act like he is someone that needs to be praised.

But we know you are a liberal media stooge whom will believe anything that reinforces your narrative.

Putin has plenty of resources. Likely, when all is carved up, Russia will not hold these resources or very little of them. Also, the World IS largely sitting idly by, as the West is having a hard time finding friends to join their idiotic crusade. As China said, he who put the bell around the tiger's neck can take it off.

Having a hard time finding friends?! You think 7 of the 10 largest economies is having a “hard time” but having 2 of the 10 is resetting the World order. You would quite a Chinese proverb 😂 You probably also drive a Yugo

Doubt it. Especially not since he brought back the gold standard. I think you are going to see that the sanctions are not going to have the effect you believe.

Who brought back the gold standard? There is no currency standard - it's probably the only unit of measure without a fixed standard which is absolutely absurd. Currencies are whatever people trading in them make them. It's actually possible that oil linked to the dollar is the only thing that keeps the whole worldwide monetary scheme semi sane.
