> expand NATO and giving up Russian speaking Ukraine parts.

you realize this is literally just a russian excuse, yes?

Yeah, great. In reality, if you as anyone in basically all of Ukraine (except for 'little green men' and the odd lover of soviet times), you get a clear message about how they've preferred a westward cultural and economic trajectory, and that ever since the war (or Crimea, depends on who you're asking), Russia is the enemy.

> Authorities in Kyiv flat out concede this problematic dilemma.

Im sorry, but lol.

The Ukrainian people do not want further or deeper ties with Russia, period. Your regurgitation of Russian talking points just shows that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Really comparing the 'ghost of kiev' to the systemic undermining of western democracy by russia?
This false equivalence is literally russian propaganda.
And I'm not sure you want to appease an enemy that is actively waging hybrid warfare with us.

Conveniently not discussing the rlhf nature of these responses.

That's a feature of the system, not a bug.

The link was edited, the original was to the .exe with little commentary and the link was cut off so the filetype wasn't apparent.

Why tf would you post an unsanitized link to a malware executable here?

edit: nice edit to the parent. the original was a github link to the .exe file.

> US govt blames Ukrainian actors

pretty sure it doesnt, but the russian one does - maybe youve confused them?

Same here, started a few months ago.
Generally you need to use a custodial exchange to do this, which creates a point of failure/censorship. Doing this onchain / trustlessly on protocols such as thor have significant liquidity limits afaik.

if there is a large mirror a few hundred light years away we might be able to see his lunch in the reflection ;)

How would you validate the signature?

Would love to see a citation on this.

Don't want to come of as a crypto shill, but check out the crypto.com card. It could be pretty useful for you (if they give you one, not sure about the whole sanctions situation). I have been using it for daily payments for over a year and I'm pretty happy with my experience.
Re:Russians are trying to flee – data from Google Trends on Saturday March 05, 2022 @11:18AM (#30568740)
Have you considered being paid in, for example, USDC? You could then get a visa card that you could top up with it for spending.
