    Don’t be that dumb.

    You can’t cross a warzone, especially as a third party. If the Russians won’t shoot them (they would) the Ukrainians would.

    It has shit to do with Ukraine, it’s just the typical Russia cop out, same mo as trump, just lie straight against all evidence. Repeat it enough and as long as your own base believes it, nothing else matters

      Do you realize how vast that geography is, and that civilians travel through it daily?

      Also, they had just gunned down hundreds of civilians, their motivation to leave Russian controlled territory, including Belaruse, was probably pretty high on their hierarchy of needs. Escaping into a country that Russia is at war with, seems like a safer option that sticking around anywhere with an FSB or ICRF field office.

      I said nothing about Ukrainian involvement, or complicity, as I haven’t seen any evidence to support that, nor do I believe they would be.

      So, take your own advice and don’t be that dumb.
