MODERATORS
I'm very conflicted by this.
On one hand it's sad that so much time and effort has been destroyed. That the hopes and pride of so many well-meaning Russian scientists has been dashed. That the science lost.
On the other hand, Russia launched this thing during their invasion of, and war against, tbe Ukraine in order to demonstrate that they're big enough and smart enough to do two things at once. To claw back some of the respect that has been lost by not having taken the Ukraine in three days...
Sigh.
It’s just Ukraine. No “the” is needed.
tbf they wrote tbe
It’s just Ukraine. No “tbe” is needed.
In fact, the 'the' should be removed as it is an intentional way of delegitimizing Ukraine as a separate country. Regional phrasing thing apparently.
It's also Netherlands. Not the Netherlands.
I'm from 'The' United Kingdom, but we may as well de-legitemize our claim to anything these days...
