Look up Patrick Lancaster for “on the ground†Investigating Reporting.
The Puppet Regime in Ukraine (from the US backed Coup in2014) made it illegal for ethnic Russians to speak Russian, children to go to school and residents to have access to pensions.
Propaganda outlet Pbs BS 🤡
Putin needs to take the ground temp challenge.

If only Russians had the 2nd amendment like we do in the states, if only
