I don't think it's necessarily better or worse than email
It's greatly worse than an email because it (1) primes the candidate with a false set of a (highly positive) expectations, only to simply (2) gouge very significantly into their time (as with any scheduled video call). The fact that these companies have no grasp of what should be obvious to them -- in particular as regards item (2) -- is central to what's so toxic about the current job application process.

That's the spin of those two observers. But there was a lot to more to the actual chain of events at the time.
And lo and behold, the fact of two guys stating a certain narrative about those events (then embellished up a bit by the publications quoting them) does not make it so. Even the article you're citing about Arahamiya's version of events isn't so clear-cut about the matter (it says Boris's advice was but one factor among many) as you're making it out to be.

That "peace deal" would have required that Ukraine permanently recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea and the Donbas (on top of other concessions).
This is why Russia is called "expansionist". Because it likes to expand its territory.
Before Boris arrived to scupper it.
That's not what happened. I know you read some snippet somewhere that made it sound like that's what happened. But simply put, you're being played. And that's not actually what happened.

2027 is the target that both China and the US have projected for the invasion of Taiwan
The US has not released a definitive assessment. Jinping apparently did make some announcement that the PLA should be "ready to" invade Taiwan, but that's not the same as "is going to." And may just be propaganda for the PLA's 100th anniversary.

No, it's just that the dead Russians seem to start piling up with greater frequency after the 2022 invasion.

2027 is the current aim
That's what some say. But how do you know?
Outer Manchuria - including Vladivostok - will be the next target.
Very unlikely, even if Taiwan collapses quickly.

First of all, many people in Ukraine speak Russian. So those people very clear 'speak essentially the same language'.
Yikes - you definitely lost me there, man. I'm going to have to let you hash this stuff out on your own.

Seems you're drifting away from the scope of the issue I was referring to.
And are basically talking about something else.

Since you're still dodging the 2009 issue - you'll need to put forward actual evidence re: 2014.
I acknowledge my quote was imprecise.

This is a dodge, and you are (rather verbosely) wiggling away from acknowledging a plainly counterfactual statement you just made:
In 2022 Ukraine shut down the pipeline to the EU in 2009 and again in 2014

This isn't worthy of a flame war, but we'll just note what you're telegraphing to us here: Namely your view that the basic situation with the current blockade of food and humanitarian supplies into Gaza is a matter of people being deprived of "nice things", as you say.
Either that, or that the people concerned about the blockade (and the bombings, and you know, those awful trenches full of bodies and stuff) are just whiny that they can't have "nice things" -- like a world without blatant genocides happening in the open for all to watch, with the support of major Western governments.
If patiently correcting them is considered "battle" then I guess we live in different universes.
