Tannu Tuva was the name just in 1921-26, it's now the Republic of Tyva (or Tuva in Russian).

Also it's usually called a full-scale invasion, as the "conflict" has been ongoing since 2014.

I appreciate the quiz, but it seems weird of you to emphasise in the descriptions that you're "NOT taking sides". Do you deny that Russia is the aggressor?

Thanks :)

Just to get something out there, I have an opinion on the topic, but what I meant by "NOT taking sides" is that my opinion doesn't affect answers included or hints and their phrasing.

Personally, I do not really support either side since both of them commit horrible crimes that lead to the deaths of innocent civilians.
