Is he Chinese?
Some of the territory of Russia encroaches into former Chinese territory. Under the Amur Annexation in 1858 China ceded some of her territory to Russia and this is how crossbreeding began producing Chinese looking Russians.

However they live in some of the poorest parts of Russia.

An ambassador is essentially representing the President of their country so this is a direct attack on Putin. It counts.

Putin should try and leave Moscow and go to Poland if he has the balls

Foreign AffairsAndreev, Russian Ambassador To Poland Splattered With Red Paint By Protesters by Igbofam(op): 1:33pm On May 09, 2022
WARSAW, Poland -- Russia's ambassador to Poland was splattered by red paint thrown at him by protesters opposed to the war in Ukraine, preventing him from paying respects on Monday at a Warsaw cemetery to Red Army soldiers who died during World War II.

Ambassador Sergey Andreev arrived at the Soviet soldiers cemetery to lay flowers on Victory Day, which marks the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Allies. The holiday was celebrated with pomp in a parade at Red Square in Moscow.

As he arrived at the Soviet Soldiers Cemetery in the Polish capital, Andreev was met by hundreds of activists opposed to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Video footage shows red paint being thrown from behind Andreev before a protester standing beside him throws a big blob of it in his face.

The protesters prevented the ambassador and others from laying their flowers at the cemetery.

The protesters carried Ukrainian flags and chanted “fascist” and “murderer" at him, while some were dressed in white sheets smeared with blood, symbolizing the Ukrainian victims of Russia’s war. Other people in his entourage were also seen splattered with what appeared to be red paint.

Police arrived at the scene to help the ambassador and other members of his delegation get away.

Protesters also marched in Warsaw to protest the war, bringing a tank on a tractor and parking it in front of the Russian Embassy on Sunday evening. Since the war began on Feb. 24, images of Ukrainian tractors hauling off Russian tanks have been symbols of Ukrainian resistance.

The Soviet cemetery is set amid a vast park on the route linking downtown to the international airport. It is the final resting place of more than 20,000 Red Army soldiers who perished fighting while helping to defeat Nazi Germany.

While Poland has removed some monuments to the Red Army in the years after it threw off Moscow-backed communist rule, it has allowed the cemetery to remain undisturbed.

Soldiers will always die in wars. And will be replaced but the lose of territories and infrastructures is very hard to get back again. Especially territories that are the bread basket of country. Well let keep the show on.. Ukraine is winning.. hahahaha.

Ukraine losing territories?
Russia has not even made one significant progress even as they are now focusing on Eastern Ukraine..

Foreign AffairsRussian Commander Fyodor Evgenievich Solovyov Killed by Igbofam(op): 10:39am On May 09, 2022
Vladimir Putin has suffered the loss of his 38th colonel in the war in Ukraine as the Russian top brass toll worsens.

Lieutenant Colonel Fyodor Evgenievich Solovyov, 44, died in the Donbas, according to reports in his homeland.


Solovyov was commander of the howitzer self-propelled artillery regiment of the 127 motorised rifle division.

He was buried with full military honours and a triple volley of guns in Chunaki village, Penza region.

A Russian report said: 'He died as a hero on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.'

Details were not given as to how he was killed but he was posthumously awarded Russia's Order of Courage.

Nine generals and 38 colonels have been killed since 24 February in Putin's war according to known statistics, although Russia has not come clean on total fatalities.

Foreign AffairsBato Basanov Killed By Ukrainian Forces by Igbofam(op): 10:24am On May 09, 2022
A 'hero' Russian world champion in an international tank warfare competition was killed when he was sent by Vladimir Putin into a real battle in Ukraine.

Bato Basanov, 25, from Buryatia, was in a record-breaking tank biathlon team that performed last year in war games in front of defence minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the army general staff Valery Gerasimov.

But his conflict ended in death when his tank was hit in Ukraine.

He is the latest of dozens of men from his impoverished region some 3,500 miles east of Moscow to be killed in Putin's war.

As two bereft mothers in grief-stricken Buryatia spoke about collecting the bodies of their sons, one reportedly said to the other: 'You're lucky because your son's body arrived intact. Mine came back as a head and two hands.'

Basanov, a corporal, had been hailed last year for 'glorifying Russia by becoming a world champion in tank biathlon as part of his team'.

Uniquely, he shot without missing a single target at speeds of up to 50mph at the Alabino training ground in Moscow region.

Yet as a report from Volya Media said: 'The death of Bato Basanov is grim confirmation that tank biathlon and real war are completely different things.'

Russian commanders Shoigu and Gerasimov saw regular tank biathlon competitions as key military prestige events, yet the huge death toll of Russian forces shows they were not ready for real war.

Basanov — whose Russian T-72B3 team beat soldiers from 19 countries in combat games including China — was shown being presented to Gerasimov, now in charge of Putin's flailing war effort.

Yet an anonymous Russian military expert has blamed Putin's government for botched modernisation of tanks, leaving them worse in optics and targeting technology than Ukraine's older tanks which were upgraded with Western equipment.

'Combat training in [Russian] tank units is disgusting,' he added.

The 'shortcomings' have led to Russia's dismal performance in the war, he said.

Basanov was a gunner of the first company of the tank battalion of the 37th separate guards motorised rifle brigade of the Russian Air Defence Forces.

The body of the 'hero' took seven weeks to be retrieved and returned to his family for a funeral on Friday

His friends and family said in a joint statement: 'Bato was an open, responsive, very sociable man, a faithful comrade and friend, who was always ready to come to the rescue.

'Cheerful, smiling and sincere, Bato has always been the pride of our family, a kind, honest, much-loved son.'


Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has suffered the loss of his 38th colonel in the war in Ukraine as the Russian top brass toll worsens.

Lieutenant Colonel Fyodor Evgenievich Solovyov, 44, died in the Donbas, according to reports in his homeland.

His death was revealed as the Russian armed forces today rehearsed in Moscow for Monday’s vast military parade on Red Square marking the end of the Second World War.


Solovyov was commander of the howitzer self-propelled artillery regiment of the 127 motorised rifle division.

He was buried with full military honours and a triple volley of guns in Chunaki village, Penza region
.

A Russian report said: “He died as a hero on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic.”

Details were not given as to how he was killed but he was posthumously awarded Russia’s Order of Courage.

Nine generals and 38 colonels have been killed since 24 February in Putin’s war according to known statistics, although Russia has not come clean on total fatalities.

Reports have claimed that the US has offered intelligence to Ukraine to help target high ranking commanders, destroying morale in Russian forces.

Solovyov’s death was disclosed four days after the 37th known colonel to die in Ukraine - Lt-Col Eduard Dmitriev - was reported to have been killed.

Dmitriev, 44, a tank commander, was buried in his native Kirov region.

Foreign AffairsRussia Expelled From The International Gas Union (IGU) by Igbofam(op): 9:42am On May 09, 2022
Moscow. INTERFAX.RU -

The International Gas Union (IGU), of which Gazprom is a member on the Russian side, has temporarily, until further notice, suspended any participation of Russian companies in its activities.

As Interfax was told by a representative of the organizing committee of the International Gas Congress (IGC), which hosts the IGU, "in this regard, the Korean Gas Union, hosting the IGC in 2022, cannot realize the further participation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the IGC-2022: neither for performances, nor for the participation of delegations, nor for participation in an exhibition or sponsorship.

The MGK also denied accreditation to Interfax journalists.

Traditionally, Russia's largest gas players - Gazprom and NOVATEK - took part in the IGC. Their leaders Alexey Miller and Leonid Mikhelson were previously among the speakers of the congress in Korea. Typically, companies set up their stands at exhibitions where they negotiated with international partners.

Gazprom planned to spend 137 million rubles on the construction of a stand at an exhibition in the Korean city of Daegu, where the congress was to be held, follows from the data of the company's already canceled purchase. In the concern's procurement documentation for the construction of the exhibition pavilion, it was reported that NOVATEK plans to build its stand as well.

IGU members are 160 associations and corporations of the gas industry, representing more than 95% of the world gas market.

Listen, America fought a decade long civil war and guess why? The United States of America and the Confederate States of America had disagreement over the US union and they left in 1860 and 1861. Some part were against slavery, the other supported it.


At the end, the war ended and both sides reunited and even the people from confederate states ended up vying for US President.



Same happened in Germany.


That some group of Southeasterners want out of the Nigerian union is not a reason to condemn other Southeasterners that still believe in the union, its common all over the world.



But unfortunately, as black Africans with foolish mentality, you guys love spewing nonsense about Igbos and Biafra.



Seeking secession is never a crime anywhere in the world, The UN recognized it and it shouldn't be a reason to mock and castigate those seeking secession. Aren't there Yorubas asking for Yoruba Nation, why then is Tinubu and Osinbajo and other Yorubas clamoring to be Nigeria's President?
