many russian and ukranians(russian speakers) go to public english libraries to learn english

thanks! this what i needed

for me it was very random, but I ended up being here :) and it is calmer and cleaner and safer

how did u manage to findout that jersey is calm?

good luck with move-in, why jersey?

i see such issues in NYC more often then in europe. i guess this tells about cultural level of population,

there is no other way than just accept it, as i did.

for 6month living here i have seen more incedents in public transport than in whole my life.

ukrainians consider azov and aidar as most motivated warriors who ready to die for ukraine,

as far as i know most of them are radical people, and used to be football fans in peace times.

p.s these terms are used primary’s for internal rus propaganda, so russian people know they fight for good

p.s 2, ukraine is a 95% mono white race country, and it is poor, there is no immigrations from other coubties, thus there is even no preconditions to have nazi, imho

neo-nazi is a typical russian propaganda term/argument, and excuse for intervention.

otherwise why would EU/NATO/USA help ukraine :)

so the answer is there are some, as in any other country,

but much more leas than in russia, because russians want to illuminate everything ukrainian, which is a nazi behavior to me.

nope we had two bags with clothes we had for spain :) no way back, because airplaines are shut down, and my home is 40km from russia, at those days active bombing was going on via artillery and strategic aviation, no way to get into the city.

Also, if had have returned to ukraine, to somw safe location, i would not have opportunty to leave the country, because all men are subject to mobilization, and u just can not leave afterwards.

it is difficult to explain how bad the corruption is/was. For instance you may pass an exam in university for 20-50$, depending on your major and the eliteness of the university. You may even skip the full educational process and just get the diploma. It is not so easy, but possible.

A driving license costs 200$.

But, there is a decent progress from early 2000s, people get changed and governments get changed/evolve, so in general it gets much better from year to year. Especially when Ukraine changed direction to the West and became pro-European.

p.s

russians want ukranians to be part of them, and ukranians do not want to identify themselves with russians,

this is the core of the conflict, imo

all russian peopaganda is based on idea that “good pro russian ukranians are captured by nazi zelensky”, and this is ridiculous.

i would not call this as a civil war,

for instance my wife is from donetsk, and it has been occupied since 2014. her family who is there are hostages, they do not want to be part of russia.

meanwhile russia states that ukranians are part of russian nation, thus ukranians must be at home -> with russia.

They put lots of effort to destroy ukranian sovereignty, and it is possible…

if they had captured kiev in the beginning, the next step would be assining “pro russian” ukranian rulers, and indeed there are some minorities of people in ukraine who wants to be part of russia.

balkan and korea wars included lots of usa/nato forces , and in this war - nato/usa is not part of the conflict, so i would not compare them, otherwise russia would not have existed by today, i think.

and russians seem “cruel” and behave narcissistic :) and also they always have unhappy face/look

russians speak russian with some accent 😂 most of the time, so it is easy to detect russian among russian speakers, unless he is a TV show/ radio host with “clean” russian :)

i guess it works same here, like boston english or nyc english…

thanks!

indeed, people of my region have tight relationships with russians, almost every family have brother/aunt/uncle etc kind of relatives in russia and vice versa.

Krarkiv/Kharkov city, ex capitol of ukraine in soviet times

haha, concierge at my building calls me russian, probably because i speak russian

i guess most of the time i can distinguish russian from ukrainian

what do you name as a good job, just curious
