Over the past week, citizens have reported a strange phenomenon:
Ukraine diplomats sprinting around the region like NPCs stuck in a bug, urgently whispering:
“Psst… hey… wanna talk to Russia?”
Why are UA running like that?
Why do we see strange RU influence on UA?
It would be cute and harmless if not for one tiny detail:
Russia has 18 active players.
Eighteen.
That’s not a country — that’s a small CS:GO (maybe 1.6?) stack with substitutes.
(And we all know substitutes = bots.)
Meanwhile:
Ukraine: 79 players (real)
Lithuania: 72 players (real)
Russia: (checks again)… still 18.
So the question practically writes itself:
Why is Ukraine acting like a sidekick for the smallest squad in the lobby?
Let’s summarize the raw stats because numbers don’t lie (unlike some diplomats).
Ukraine: mid-tier, solid
Lithuania: slightly lower, but punching up
Russia: hanging out with countries nobody can pronounce (e.g.: "Eugfbnsfjdhgbsjdhfbg" or whatever)
Russia is higher but… barely
Ukraine slightly above Lithuania
All three far behind the big leagues (Poland, Portugal, France, Chile) - and those are all in Europe, where Lithuania is
So again:
Why is UA government pushing “teamwork” with the one faction that:
contributes little,
fights rarely,
and gets diplomatically rejected faster than a Level 1 trade offer?
Even surrounding nations already told Russia:
“Thanks, but no thanks.”
Yet UA leadership?
Still insisting: “Hear them out, guys!”
Suspicious?
We’re not saying that.
But we’re also not NOT saying that.
We interviewed (okay, bribed) an anonymous UA official, who said:
“We don’t know why our leadership loves Russia so much. It’s like watching someone chase a person who left them on ‘read’ for 3 days. Life happens.”
Another citizen added:
“I feel like we’re being driven toward decisions that help Russia, not Ukraine. And for what? Their 18 players? Their… hypothetical enthusiasm?”
These comments raise an uncomfortable but necessary question:
Is UA’s foreign policy being guided by its players…
or by the loudest voices in its current leadership (RU-lovers)?
What Happens if UA Chooses… Differently?
Ukraine is strong. Lithuania is strong.
Both together?
A 150-player regional powerhouse. "LDK" strong.
You’d have:
stable borders
dependable allies
shared battles
consistent strategy
zero chaos
zero “RU suggestions” whispered at 2 AM
And the biggest benefit?
UA citizens directing their own destiny — not following the orbit of a tiny RU faction.
Lithuania isn’t perfect, sure, but at least:
we don’t gaslight neighbors
we don’t ask people to “give Russia a chance”
and we show up to battles with an actual playerbase and economic background
No accusations. No drama.
Just… questions.
Why is UA leadership still pushing cooperation with a country everyone else ignores/hates?
Why is a 79-player nation bending over backward for an 18-player one (UA players, please answer)?
Why aren’t we strengthening ties with countries that actually show up on the battlefield?
Who benefits more from UA’s decisions — Ukraine, or someone else?
If these questions make you uncomfortable… good, even GREAT!.
That means you’re still a thinking player, not an NPC.
Ukraine — Lithuania is your ally.
We’re just waiting for you to realize it.
