Ukraine have never completed the procedure to exit. So Vlad will cancel its exit status when convenient. Finland is not a question of internal Law of USSR. It is outside the USSR according to the WW2 borders. So we have lost it completely. No chances to get it back.

Their is NO LEGAL ENTITY as the USSR, That ceased to exist .

Check with your Kremlin handlers before making yourself look like a greater uninformed fool

That would be the logical equivalent of Cambodia having a referendum to claim it is the successor to the Khmer Empire and restoring it's territorial integrity over Thailand and Myanmar.

Along with Rome claiming most of Europe and all of the Mediterranean coast.

 

I wonder if Macedonia will claim to be the successor to the conquests of Alexander the Great and try to control lands as far east as India?

Also hard to get accurate polling im a brutal repressive dictatorship.

 

I suggest watching the youtube channel 1420 to get a flavor of the complexity of Russian public opinion and to smell the fear in the air there. Man on the street interviews.

Wrong.  Many western leaders are being pushed by their citizens to be more supportive of Ukraine.

 

"Roughly a third of Americans (32%) say that the United States is providing about the right amount of support to Ukraine as it fights to hold off the Russian invasion. A larger share – 42% – say the U.S. should be providing more support to Ukraine, while just 7% say it is providing too much support."

If you have exited legally from any conglomerate, you are completely free. But we don't think Ukraine have exited legally. We are preparing one of the biggest lawsuit in human history - about 100k citizens of USSR against Gorbachev. I hope you will enjoy it. The Vlad`s court in Moscow, the fairest court in the world, will make the fairest decision.

The conglomerate no longer exists.  Laws describing procedures for leaving the conglomerate became void when all elements of the conglomerate agreed to the dissolution. 

 

It doesn't matter if Russia changed its mind about the dissolution 30 years after the fact.  It's too late.  There is no longer a USSR. 

 

This is obviously a war of conquest and empire building.  I think you are ok with that.  Stop inventing specious legal arguments.  Vlad's court is a joke.

#BREAKING Russia preparing restrictions on entry from 'unfriendly' states: foreign minister Lavrov

 

Lavrov says Putin will sign a decree restricting entry into Russia for citizens of "unfriendly countries" in response to western sanctions. That's the US, the UK, Canada, all of Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and a few others besides.

Ukraine has published the names and addresses of 620 FSB officers in an apparent data breach of the Russian security agency

 

As well as names and addresses, the list also includes agents’ car models and licence plates, mobile phone numbers and dates and places of birth.

All those on the list were registered as living in the Lubyanka, the service’s Moscow headquarters.

The FSB is Russia’s domestic security service, akin to MI5. However its remit also encompasses countries of the former Soviet Union including Ukraine.

Russian TV is now full of BS like this. For example, every news program these days reports serious food shortages in the West. If you watched Russian TV and nothing else - you could think that it is the Western world who was severely damaged by the Russian sanctions and not the other way around. For some reasons, many Russians still firmly believe that their country is an economic (as well as military, cultural etc.) giant. Not many do really understand that their economy presents mere 1.5-2% of the World’s GDP.

Russia no longer demanding Ukraine be ‘denazified’ in ceasefire talks

Requests include Kyiv dropping Nato pursuit in exchange for security guarantees and EU membership

 

Russia is no longer requesting Ukraine be “denazified” and is prepared to let Kyiv join the EU if it remains militarily non-aligned as part of ceasefire negotiations, according to four people briefed on the discussions. Moscow and Kyiv are discussing a pause in hostilities as part of a possible deal that would involve Ukraine abandoning its drive for Nato membership in exchange for security guarantees and the prospect to join the EU, the people said under the condition of anonymity because the matter is not yet finalised.
