In this episode of Ukraine in Flames, we discuss the decolonization efforts within the modern Russian Federation, focusing on oppressed ethnicities and communities. The experts discuss Russia's internal conflicts and the urgent need for its disintegration into sovereign states to achieve lasting peace, plus the irony of Buddhist regions in Russia taking part in military operations, a people that are supposed to be against all types of aggression. Watch UIF #634 to learn more about the importance of a disintergrated Russia and how this will bring just peace.
