500k passports when population of Ukraine is 44 million do the math it's a minority trying to control a majority. That's the definition of apartheid.
Why on earth would they want one of those. Of course, they are too afraid not to. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
This are the dumb people responsible for the problem in Ukraine
That is because Russia foreseen and/or intelligence reports for what is to come to DNR & LNR of the absolute military aggression plans from Ukraine… best to save many lives and also not to be dragged into war baiting by Ukraine and the West?!
Great example of Western Russo-phobic propaganda!!! They want us to believe that it EVIL for Russia to give passports to people WHO FREELY ASK FOR THEM and are HAPPY to receive them! They should all be GRATEFUL to live under a criminal regime that wants them to live in poverty and suppress their ethnic heritage!
Great news!
The on bicycle said it all😁
If they want to be a Russian citizen West mustn't make it up
Rusia hace muy bien en proteger a todos los rusos en cualquier parte del Mundo. En cualquier parte del Mundo, Rusia debe proteger al "Mundo Ruso". Todos aquellos que se sienten identificados con Rusia y tienen ascendientes de Rusia deben tener protección.
So what?
Brilliant 👍
let's all drink to the Wessex People's Republic. One can only hope that one day it becomes a reality
а хде дула афтоматоф? хде злобные орки с востока? Sky News, вы чего?
Another form of control??
If they want to be part of Russia what's the issue??
Oh yes the EU also want Ukraine
Double standards don't ya think?
Молодцы. Скоро ЛДНР окончательно интегрируются с Россией.
The Donbass, is historically the territory of Russia, and the people living in the Donbass, are Russian people, we are glad to be returning home!
Как мужик страдает в автобусе получив российский паспорт….
Good move and justice. Well done Russia
Мы были вместе тысячу лет. И ничего никогда вы нам не сделаете. Успокойтесь, наконец, Sky news. Мы будем вместе.
Ждём ДНР и ЛНР в родную гавань ! С нетерпением.
Go Russia 🇷🇺💯
"Separatist republic"? What a propaganda from Western media! When there was dividing of Yugoslavia, all Western countries hastily recognized all those new countries. There was not separatism then, eh?
Russia the greatest country on earth!! Russia forever. Screw the west they caused this problem on themselves.
Congrats to all new RF citizens!
Добро пожаловать домой! Россия – Матушка вам очень рада ❤🇷🇺
Long Live the Soviet Union
