Great, everyone who lives on the occupied territories looses everything, no police ( prob in prison for or executed), no judges, lawlessness, where random militarily March in without anyone to stop em, that and if we ignore the fact that there are alot of Nazis who hate East Ukrainians and Russians, under perfect conditions the civilans just would need to get out, without anything.
And now imagne how many families would have someone in they’re familie who fought on the Russian side. ( as if you remember it was a civilwar 14-20 in the beginnng ).
“Maybe leave Ukraine“, would not stop the war it would just put civilans on the front line.
So you are saying the invasion cannot be stopped or someone with an expired passport won’t be able to renew it? Okay then, I guess there is no other option but continue then…
All Russian citizens who moved to Crimea after 2014 should be expelled
That’s not quite the same as your claim regarding those who were originally Ukrainian citizens and who would supposedly be forced out. You’re contradicting yourself or disregarding your own statement.
There’s nothing stopping Ukraine from accepting them as citizens. But that is Ukraine’s decision to make, seeing as it’s their country. And yes, if they decide that illegal settlers should be kicked out, hell, why were they there to begin with?
Are you talking about the current war, or do you mean that they were there before Russia took Crimea in 2014?
If you mean they were there after 2014, what does that matter, it was still stolen land at that time.
If they were there before 2014, I would agree that some form of a path towards citizenship should be made, but again that is Ukraine’s prerogative.
Edit: Reading your second article, that is exactly what Ukraine is proposing, expelling Russians who moved to annexed land after 2014. What about that seems unreasonable? They took a gamble and moved to a conflicted territory, maybe they were led to believe it was their right, but it doesn’t change the reality that it wasn’t.
About those who where there pre 2014.
They took up Russian citizenship.
Now they count as collaborators and traitors.
If you for example are policemen, doctor or have anything to do with the goverment, under Russian occupation you go to prison, as a traitor.
That does seem like a troubling situation. I do imagine that there are likely quite a few people who took those positions with good intentions, but when the new ruler comes to town and asks who wants power, it does seem obvious that there are strings attached. In this case, the deal was indeed to become a traitor in exchange for power/position, but I’m sure many were signing up just to survive.
You’re right, there are probably good people that are going to be harmed alongside the bad, and I don’t think there is a perfect solution. I would say it needs to get talked about as we get closer to a peace deal, it’s truly regrettable that Russia decided to create this problem, maybe they could also work towards a solution for these citizens they forced into this role.
Edit: purely hypothetical, but one thought comes to mind. A compromise might be acceptable if they were given the choice to either retain their Ukrainian citizenship, but lose their position, or to defect to Russia. Though, once again this realm of decision making lies entirely in the hands of the victor of the war.
Also, what would you describe people as that help an occupier annex your territory and build up the occupiers control over it, if not collaborateurs?
If they truly wanted to only help their people, they can argue that in court. Because as a country striving to become a fully fledged democracy, they will get a chance to defend themselves in Ukraine, as opposed to getting thrown out of windows, like in Russia.
I kind of have the same sentiment, but I have reservations about what is likely a very small fraction of them.
Mostly the thought of the doctors who are entwined with government, because I’m sure some doctors just want to help. Other than that, I’m sure there’s at least one individual who did it as a way to get or maintain a job so they can make rent and survive, but that just might be me projecting my American fear of poverty onto a situation that doesn’t apply.
You must be a troll checking if anyone is reading the articles you linked, right? This has to be an elaborate joke, right?
Per the very article you linked:
The timeline continues ahead to July 2024, when, according to new Russian laws, residents without Russian citizenship would be considered “foreigners” or “stateless” and can be detained in detention facilities and/or deported to Russia.
It says that there is a Russian law that forces Ukrainans to take on a Russian passport by threatening to deport or incarcerate them for not having a Russian passport! The paragraph describes exactly what you claimed, but for Russia, not Ukraine.
Danilov suggested prosecuting Ukrainians who worked for the Moscow-appointed administration in Crimea, adding that some would face criminal charges and others would lose government pensions and be banned from public jobs.
All Russian citizens who moved to Crimea after 2014 should be expelled, and all real estate deals made under Russian rule nullified, Danilov wrote on Facebook.
His three-point plan:
Remove all collaborateurs from office
Prosecute some of them
Kick out Russians that came in after the annexation
Also, this was published on Facebook. Everyone knows how central Facebook is in relaying official Ukrainian positions. /s
Where does it say that all Ukrainians with Russian passports are going to get kicked out of Ukraine? That’s right, nowhere. Your assumption is pure conjecture and wishfulness.
If Ukraine wins. Most civilans living in Crimea and in the occupied territories, as ukraines plan decrees, have to leave the country.
If they somehow still only have the Ukrainian citizenship they are barred from any job that has any ties to the goverment.
Also anyone with a goverment position who helped, so any policemen, doctor, teacher, etc will probability be judged as a collaborator and hence a traitor.
So imagne the regular Ukrainian Army moves in. With some nationalistic hatred that exists. You will have armed men while everyone around em is an enemy, and there is no one to stop you, some people will resort to self justice. Hence the metaphor of putting civilans on the front line.
Yeah… I’m pretty sure Putin doesn’t care about those people or anyone not named Putin. He can stop attacking whenever he wants. He won’t, because that’s admitting weakness.
How Russia would stop the invasion they started?
Maybe leave Ukraine?
I’m not sure I’m understanding what you’re asking.
Ok and what about the people who stay there? Civilians.

Oops your passport expired, you cannot renew it as you are currently in occupied territory. Oops you are no longer a Ukrainian citizen so move out.

No. Expired passport means they have to take the Russian one. And if you have a Russian passport you will be forced out.
Says who exactly?
Ukraines plans with Russian citizens if they win the war.

That’s not quite the same as your claim regarding those who were originally Ukrainian citizens and who would supposedly be forced out. You’re contradicting yourself or disregarding your own statement.
They absolutely do not have to take the russian one.
Expired passports happen all over the world. They just get renewed.
Which means they can just rip up the illegal passports they got forced upon them from soldiers from an illegal invasion.
Where? In a Ukranian Embassy? There is none on occupied territory.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/03/russia-forcing-ukrainian-passports-us-report
And Ukraine sad countless times that anyone taking these is a traitor. Even if its enforced.
Put down the crack pipe.
There’s nothing stopping Ukraine from accepting them as citizens. But that is Ukraine’s decision to make, seeing as it’s their country. And yes, if they decide that illegal settlers should be kicked out, hell, why were they there to begin with?
Because they lived there before the war.
No, there is something stopping them from accepting them as citizens. The laws Ukraine has set in place.

If people supporting the Russian occupation don’t want to get detained by Ukraine, they can leave for Russia before Ukraine frees that territory.

Yeah… I’m pretty sure Putin doesn’t care about those people or anyone not named Putin. He can stop attacking whenever he wants. He won’t, because that’s admitting weakness.
OK. Tell me what would the Ukrainians do if he stopped.
They’d start rebuilding all the infrastructure (read: homes, schools and hospitals) that Russia managed to destroy in the past two years?
You mean the citizens that putin forced to live in their illegally occupied territories?
Oh no, now they will have to go back to where they used to live, the horror!
If you have read the thread or the articles you would know that that could mean either prison, death or being forced out.
It’s okay because Boris Johnson said Putin can’t pull out.
That was a strange sentence to type.
Lol
