Reply to comment by Gumbulos in Putin casts war as a battle for Russias survival by R1ckCrypto

There have already been some talks about its independence. Might be interesting.

i mean, considering the 2014 invasion has made life there noticeably worse, they might come to the Crimean conclusion of "well, we are Russians but Russia can't provide for us"

Putin coined the idea that Russia would split up when the war effort fails. As it is doomed to fail given the current Russian losses...

I think a territorial disintegration of Russia will be good for Russians. And another Baltic state will benefit its ethnic Russian population. And this will also apply to all the other provinces.

Well, at least he got that one right. There are people who are even looking forward to it, I've seen some maps about the assumed new independent countries. I think they were on Instagram.
