Saldo also publicly asked for assistance from Moscow on Telegram with transporting civilians to Russia. Kherson is one of four areas where Moscow-installed officials held so-called referendums last month to claim support for annexation. The votes have been denounced as a sham by Ukraine's government and its allies.

The exercise, dubbed “Steadfast Noon,” is held annually and usually runs for about one week. It involves fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear warheads but does not involve any live bombs. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-nato-jens-stoltenberg-b922486609ba5cf10ad23bbabc0c9b9f EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell said that the people supporting Ukraine, the EU, its member states, the U.S., and NATO are “not bluffing” when speaking about the response in case Russia uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine. 2

No fact and actually it could well have been Ukraine: Other outcomes were possible. As of December 1991, although nobody pursued the possibility at the time: two UN Members besides Russia were also, in principle, suitable to fill the USSR Security Council seat. Ukraine and Belarus had both been Union Republics of the USSR — and both were also “original Members” of the UN, i.e., founding member states. https://cepa.org/article/expelling-russia-from-the-un-security-council-a-how-to-guide/ Helsinki Commission Recommends Kicking Russia Off U.N.

Perhaps the fact that the Soviet Union is not the same as the Russian Federation is lost on you. The USSR was comprised of 15 different countries, fourteen of these are not part of the Russian Federation. The UN and the UN Security Council are two different entities. I would suggest your post was highly inaccurate and less than a half-truth at best. Maybe, checking your posts against a reliable source or even better still posting the correct evidence with the OP would be beneficial to others on the forum. 2 2

The Soviet Union and Russia are two different things. Equating them is like saying for instance, that Croatia is the same thing as Yugoslavia - or that Bangladesh is the same thing as Pakistan. Just because a country was once part of a bigger entity, does not mean each component of the dissolved country is equivalent to the former whole. 1 2
