#russianspeakers...in the occupied #Donetsk

In the US, 1960s, some had the assumption that IF everyone had the same language, there would be less conflicts🤔

Pre Feb 2022 Estonians watched #RussianTV and crossed over to #Ivangorod #StPetersburg, which is closer to #Narva than #Tallinn, the #Estonian capital

Now the consulates in Narva and St Petersburg are closed and Estonia has banned Russian TV bc it's #Kremlin #propaganda (see same BBC url above)
