That is not true.
"you are talking complete bollocks."

Go again and get us all relevant numbers, since apparently you didn't do it right yet.

Why don't you get the numbers if you want to call mine out?

Sure, I'm using wikipedia, but it's usually right on things like this and it says that 27% is the highest it has ever been and it was 24% in 2001, the last Census before 2014.

Yes, 27% is technically more than a quarter, well done, if that was your problem with my claim.

Thank you. ;)


How many Russians moved to Crimea after 2014, how many Ukrainians left? That's what got you to go on the offensive, but you didn't answer that yet.
I think it's significant enough to be a problem, especially since these Russians are mainly firmly nationalistic/anti-Ukraine.
The old inhabitants, who knows what they think now.

Also im sure you are aware that the percentages get skewed because of the Tatars, so look at absolutes.

I might be wrong, but other than meltdowns and computer glitches causing false alarms where retaliatory strikes were considered, this is as close as we've come since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

It's scary shit when the guy with the button appears to have disconnected from reality.

Hot on the heels of Pornhub, OnlyFans is showing it's support for Ukraine.

Soon the hot blooded young Russian men will have to resort to the old ways, wanking off to the lingerie sections of catalogues.

Electric vehicle charging stations along Russia’s M11 motorway, which stretches from Moscow to Saint Petersburg, are not working because a Ukrainian company that provided parts for the chargers hacked them using a backdoor in the chargers’ control systems, according to a Facebook post by Russian energy company Rosseti.
According to the post, the chargers were purchased through a Russian company which had outsourced production to a Ukrainian parts supplier called AutoEnterprise, a Kharkiv-based EV charging company. This morning, posts began to appear on social media showing the chargers were disabled and programmed to display pro-Ukrainian messages.
AutoEnterprise’s Facebook page re-posted a video taken by an Instagram user from the M11 motorway showing the disabled chargers. The chargers show an error message reading in English “CALL SERVICE NO PLUGS AVAILABLE” before new screens show additional messages in Russian: “GLORY TO UKRAINE / GLORY TO THE HEROES / PUTIN IS A DICKHEAD / DEATH TO THE ENEMY.” The phrase translated as “Putin is a dickhead” became a popular slogan in Ukraine following the 2014 Russian invasion, particularly among soccer fans in Kharkiv.

Long Twitter thread on the war so far, why the Russians have underperformed, but also why expectations should be temepered by the fact that the worst is almost certainly yet to come:
