If you watch the tacky little video what he actually says is something like "as our president says, Russia's borders don't end anywhere because Russia is in our hearts everywhere".

More a shitty piece of poetic ethnonationalism than a Hoekstra-like jingoistic attack on our literal sovereignty.

Putin can go fuck himself.

The quote and the context:

️As our President clearly and succinctly stated: “Russia’s borders end nowhere.” As our Motherland lives in the heart of every one of us. And you, dear compatriots, are the clearest example of that.

🇨🇦 The political reality is such that today, being a Russian in Canada is not easy. And yet, in many ways, this country is deeply similar to Russia. Its vast spaces, love of the land, work ethic, openness, and yes, even the passion for hockey, are things Russians and Canadians share alike. That is why the “Russian world” feels natural here. It serves as a unifying link, a bridge of connection between our peoples. For the natural desire of all people is to live in peace, harmony, and good neighborliness. And no artificial barriers can stand in the way of that.

I'm not a fan of Russia and Putin can go fuck himself. That said Scotty/Hotznplotzn/randomname/Sepia/tardigrade is trying to sling some toxic innuendo here. Don't slip on it.

Did you mean to link to this tweet? https://xcancel.com/RussianEmbassyC/status/2005745216612163630#m
Because you linked to a search which has multiple results.

Anyway, it's Russia. What do you really expect? They've been varying degrees of enemies and corrupt my whole life. Their whole game now is to annoy other countries. Russia can't even successfully invade their neighbouring country on dry land let alone one separated by ice and water.
