Thread: Future of Eastern Ukraine? / Будущее Восточной Украины?

I wonder how Russia is going to have the massive 9 May celebration - that must be a huge thing for the RU military to organise, requiring a large part of the military to be involved (?) ----and keep the allegedly massive buildup of troops (50,000 according to media) at the Ukrainian border. Torn responsibilities? How many actual soldiers are in the Russian military?

I think there's no need to worry. The preparations for the 9 May parade are usually started much earlier, so everything is already arranged and troops for it are already selected.
How many actual soldiers do we have? Who knows? Maybe zero? These days we can afford a superman too

On a serious note, I dunno. Yet I presume that there's no media to be honest on such a topic right now.
For those who are interested, this version of Superman actually comes from Ukraine (instead of Cansas). Soviet Ukraine
