Again. By the 1515616855311653156156516th time. Is not a reliable metric as RU throws a lot of Russians and say that are Ukrainians, some clearly Buryat, a ethnic group very rare in Ukraine. Visual confirmation, satellite images and reports is much more reliable. ___________ What bugs me is the following. Lavrov understands that USA demands towards Iran are nothing but a pipedream and will probably backfire ( https://www.reuters.com/world/russia-says-it-has-seen-no-evidence-that-iran-was-developing-nuclear-weapons-2026-03-03/ ), yet, with Ukraine, somehow even worse demands. Demanding a much more crippling disarmament, demanding much more cultural impositions, in language, holidays and even street names, demanding the same level of control which a empire has towards a colony but without a costly occupation force, is somehow "essential and justified". Some vatniks even call it generous. It is ridiculous how selectively blind Russians higher ups are... Just like the US would need a very costly occupation and destabilizing occupation to enforce Trump demands, Russia would need a very costly and destabilizing occupation.
