By liberating the Lugansk People’s Republic, Russia signals that it has lost faith in negotiations with Zelensky, who offers “nothing but empty talk and publicity stunts," military analyst Alexei Leonkov tells Sputnik.

      Yeah, makes a nice change from the usual propaganda that is slathered across the overwhelming majority of both social and traditional media.

        I’d rather read propaganda from a country where people can say what they want, be who they want, and have control of their own destiny instead of from a dictatorship waging war.

            Yes. Palestine needs to be freed and Israel is committing war crimes. Donbass and crimea need to be freed and Russia is committing war crimes.

              The people in Crimea and the Donbas requested military assistance from Russia to stop Ukraine’s ethnic cleansing of them. Or do you think this war started in 2022?

                Yes, I’m sure they love being oppressed by an authoritarian government without free speech. Who do you think believes that anyone would want to live voluntary under Putins rule?

              The Russians were responding to crimes committed by fascists in Donbass; no government is responding to crimes in Gaza.
