where occupied areas held Kremlin-orchestrated "referendums" on living under Moscow's rule that the Ukrainian government and the West denounced as illegal and rigged.
The official annexation was widely expected following the votes that wrapped up on Tuesday in the areas under Russian occupation in Ukraine and after Moscow claimed residents overwhelming supported for their areas to formally become part of Russia. "This is the opposite of free and fair elections," Baerbock said. "And this is the opposite of peace. It's dictated peace. As long as this Russian diktat prevails in the occupied territories of Ukraine, no citizen is safe. No citizen is free."
The Kremlin has been unmoved by the criticism. After a counteroffensive by Ukraine this month dealt Moscow's forces heavy battlefield setbacks, Russia said it would call up 300,000 reservists to join the fight. It also warned it could resort to nuclear weapons.

Good opportunity to take him out then. It's what is needed.
So it was with Sudatenland and Austria.......
Time for the US to move across from Alaska and annex the Eastern end of Russia (just to the Urals).Then it can become US Territory, and US troops can be based North of China. Must be OK , if Russia feels it can invade a country, then decide it is Russian Territory. Look out NZ
It's happening in other parts of the world why so much cry on this one.
How does this occur in 2022?
At least now they will be afforded proper protection from the Nazis.

Very sad time
根据公平对等的法则，既然俄罗斯可以侵略乌克兰，乌克兰也有权在俄罗斯的土地上作战。只要条件成熟，乌克兰就可以把无人机飞向莫斯科和克里姆林宫！瘫痪毁灭其战争机器，斩首铲除其战争首犯！
秋后的蚂蚱，蹦跶不了几天了！
Think it’s quite odd that nobody in his inner circle has attempted to assassinate him . Maybe it’s all part of the bigger picture that we don’t know about
This has happened since nation states were invented. Borders are drawn, ethnic groups ebb and flow, borders are redrawn. Blame Zelensky for his racist oppression of Russians living in Ukraine.
Next stop Alaska? Joe is asleep at the wheel?
Sooooo… he won?
Are we still blaming Putin for the hid high petrol prices or has that bs run out of legs?
How can this seriously happen
