Because russians are so tired of him and he’s getting old and afraid of loosing control, so he launches his last card and plays everything in. Ukraine, along with Finland and Sweden (which he threatened too) are worrying counterexample of liberalism and better situation to most of russians. And most of russians are aware of this. Moreover: speaking russian in ukraine is easy, many people understand russian there (I keep hearing that russian propaganda stating people are being threatened for speaking russian there is wrong, from mostly russians leaving there; and to have mostly spoke russian myself in ukraine i can confirm); if a russian moves there, not only they can keep speaking their language, but they can most easily learn the local one as it is most similar, pretty easy and even somewhat more regular and rational. So that WAS a really nice place, and the easiest one, for russians to escape. The conflict since its beginning (before war) is itself is a mere excuse to avoid that to happen (as russian men has been forbidden to go there before). There is to some degree hypocrit collaboration between russian and ukrainian elites (who btw both have stakes and properties and capital in each others’ country) for that sake: artificially separating as much as possible two countries with so friendly and similar people with each other. There have been, on both side, support to the far right, neonazis, etc. A lot more so from putin’s side: most of the far rights and neonazis are funded by him in Europe. French far right is backed by Putin. Hungary and Poland, worst situations in europe, are because of Putin. Our increasing commitment to methane, because of our abandonment of carbonclean nuclear (and also the subsequent increasing reliement on coal) is also Putin’s fault. This is not only threatening Russia, Ukraine, Europe, but the whole planet’s citizens. That was okay as long as it only meant for ukraine to give up on helping and welcoming russians. Now it’s not enough anymore. The internet is making the people increasingly powerful and aware of whatever freedom exists elsewhere and they could get. The same sospokenabout situation of «if we lower taxes the powerfuls are gonna escape» is there happening inversely: if you help the powerful, the actual people will see it and wanna leave. This always have been true, it is called migration. Migration is a threat to oppression, and border its solution: a threat to freedom. Free circulation of wealth good to the wealthiests and their wealth, free circulation of people good to the people and their freedom. Wars, soldiers, militaries, aggressions, these all reinforce borders. What inspired me mostly: https://nitter.fdn.fr/jmkorhonen/status/1496047631969234944[1] Please remember we have to keep in favor of freedom, and that means against aggression, against censorship, surveillance, proprietary software. If you ever feel these could locally or temporarily used to fight oppression, you are tricked. -------- [1] https://nitter.fdn.fr/jmkorhonen/status/1496047631969234944
