[OFFICIAL] Ukraine Thread

Reportedly, Anonymous have hacked Russian targets collecting $10 million, and are now offering $50k in bitcoin to tank crews for every surrendered tank.

'Anonymous declared war on Vladimir Putin at the end of February. Back then, the group warned that Russia’s leader will “face unprecedented cyberattacks from all corners of the world” should he not stop his invasion of Ukraine.'

I'm actually starting to warm to crypto for what it's being used for in Ukraine.

$50K wouldn't get them far if they were hunted down and eliminated by Spetznatz forces, along with the hackers!

WHS - We learn something every day

Something else I was surprised to learn is how many languages are spoken in Ukraine:



So maybe Putin is aiming to occupy just the mostly red regions in the south west

(I thought perhaps Moldova would also mostly be red, had it been coloured. But apparently over 80% of people there speak Romanian.)

I think this is more practical. BTW: Being a Russian speaker does not mean being pro-Russian

Oh, and what do we have here…

Facebook and Twitter now banned in Russia

I've still got Russian friends in Russia, posting.

Not a good look from Ukraine in this article. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/...out-of-ukraine

That's sad.

I'm not the least bit interested in defending Putin, but it's funny how this has come to light only now.

These maps won't show you one thing and that is the Russification that took place in the USSR. Lots of regions in the south were mostly Ukrainian speaking and still are in the villages. However in the big cities Stalin's russification programme and Stalin's genocide (Holodomor) of millions of Ukrainian speaking peasants ensured that these regions are now overall Russian speaking.
As Paddy said Russian speaking doesn't mean pro Russia, which is the mistake Putler made. It's the same as saying Ireland is mostly English speaking so they must be pro England
