@@SJchanel-n8p The fact that Ukraine wanted to join the EU and NATO as a Slavic country was a catastrophe for Putin. In the EU the average standard of living and life expectancy is much higher than in Russia. If the Russians had seen that their relatives in Urkaine lived freer, better and longer than under Putin's dictatorship, they would have realized that he was just a vampire who was sucking Russia dry. Putin has to ensure poverty and destruction on his border so that the Russians don't notice how he oppresses and exploits them. Putin is waging a war against democracy, freedom of the press, prosperity and peace itself.

@@squidwart7778maybe, but once side has been attacking "civilian areas" with civilians in them (Donetsk, for example) since 2014 while the vast majority of attacks and destruction committed by Russia is on the combat line, which has basically been cleared of civilians since the start of Ukrainian bombardments of its own (claimed) citizens in the Donbass 9 years ago. To this day, and after two years of the SMO, Russia is still not responsible for as many (as claimed by the West and a Ukraine) civilian casualties as is the Ukraine in its purposeful targeting of civilian areas. In addition, one should look at Gaza to see what real destruction of "civilian areas" really looks like. Russia, for almost the entirety of the SMO, has been extremely careful in its targeting of civilian area, most targets in cities being military and casualties being collateral, some even from the Ukraine's own defensive missiles falling back into these civilian areas. The targeting of Belgorod was purposefully aimed at civilians preparing for their New Year s festivities, with no military objective remotely close.

"Polish experts confirm missile that hit grain facility was Ukrainian" Reuters, "Poland blast caused by missile fired by Ukrainian forces" AP, "Evidence Suggests Ukrainian Missile Caused Market Tragedy" NYT. Russians are attacking Ukrainian weapons depots and army barracks while Zelenskyy is attacking residential buildings with anti-aircraft missiles with long expired shelf life . Zelenskyy already hit Poland, Romania (a jet and a chopper were downed, 8 servicemen killed), Moldova, Belarus, numerous residential buildings and at least 4 children’s playgrounds inside Ukraine with these missiles. Western missiles which are sent there are also with either expired shelf life or very close to expiration date. It’s mindboggling how many buildings were hit and civilians killed (including two hapless Polish farmers) with this ongoing criminal lunacy of Zelenskyy regime. The chance of downing Russian missile is negligible in comparison with a risk of an accident with numerous civilian casualties. To give weapons to this war criminal Zelenskyy is like giving matches and gasoline to a serial compulsive arsonist.
During the first 4 weeks of the war: Between February 24 and March 21, 2022, sixty-four medical facilities and their personnel were targeted by Russian forces in Ukraine, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported.

Russia was never polite in the war. This is nothing new, Russia has been bombing Ukraine for 2 years straight. You think this just happened now for the first time?
Ukraine regime stop using civilian buildings in cities, towns and villages for military purposes, necessitating anti missile batteries close by, which can lead to debris falling on civilians. On the other hand Ukraine deliberately targets civilians for the last 9 years in places like Donetsk and also recently in Belgorad where there are no military targets. That has been whitewashed by NATO/US/UK etc., as if Russia's response to that, and NATO's belligerent advances towards Russia's borders for years, was a surprise. In fact US/NATO strategic planning over many years has led directly to current events.
Disinformation: Ukraine was committing genocide in Donbas for eight years. Verdict: FAKE NEWS In order to pursue its expansionist goals in Ukraine, Russia also unleashed information warfare against Ukraine simultaneously with its military aggression. Moreover, it was the “pretext” based on disinformation and falsehoods which Putin used to launch his invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. On 24 February 2022, Putin stated that the goals of the full-scale war, which he calls a “special operation,” are to “protect the population from genocide as well as denazify and demilitarise Ukraine together with the protection of those people who were abused and subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.” Putin made similar statements at the session of the Human Rights Council in December 2021, saying that “what is happening in Donbas now very much reminds us of genocide.” The claim that Ukraine was committing genocide in Donbas has become a main propaganda message not only for the Kremlin and Kremlin-run media but in other pro-Russian sources as well. The aim of this disinformation is to proclaim Russia’s actions in Ukraine as legitimate and completely disregard any Kremlin-directed blame. In fact, there is not a single international document or conclusion of any relevant international organisation whatsoever that would confirm Moscow’s allegations. That Putin and the Kremlin are unable to prove that genocide indeed took place in Donbas is confirmed by the fact that Russia has never officially appealed to the UN Genocide Prevention Office or any other international institutions over the issues of genocide and ethnic cleansing. (According to UN and Human Rights Watch reports, 3,400 civilians have died in Donbas since 2014. And 84 percent of them were killed by Russian and separatist artillery. Read the reports! The vast majority of deaths were in the first two years of the war (2014 and 2015))
From Iranian press: Vladimir Putin regularly drone on about the alleged “genocide of the Donbas population”. Today, this myth sits at the core of the Kremlin’s propaganda. Putin has used this myth to justify Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. " Its goal is to protect people who have been subjected to abuse and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years” Putin said in his address announcing the war. Both Ukraine and the occupied Donbas territories have suffered casualties because of the HOSTILITIES THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION has been conducting there since 2014. But Russia has insisted for these eight years and tried to convince the world that the actions of Ukraine’s Armed Forces in Donbas “are aimed at destroying the population of Donbas” and are not a struggle for Ukraine’s territorial integrity. And despite the UNTRUTHFULNESS of the argument, Russia’s propaganda machine has nevertheless managed to convince the Russian audience of this, that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is “an act of retaliation for Donbas”. As it happens, official United Nations data suggests that the 14,000 casualty figure that Putin has used does not only refer to civilians. During Russia’s 2014-2021 military operations against Ukraine, 14,500 people died in the Donbas war. Of that 14,000, 3,404 were civilians, 4,400 were Ukrainian servicemen and 6,500 were Russian militants. The figure Putin operates with, is the total number of casualties incurred in the Donbas war by both sides. The Russian Federation both armed the separatists and sent unmarked soldiers. Russia initially denied that there were Russian military forces in Donbas, but on 17 April 2014 Vladimir Putin finally confirmed the presence of the Russian military. Alexander Borodai, Prime Minister of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, stated that 50,000 RUSSIAN citizens fought in the Donbas up to August 2015. THESE SOLDIERS are the ones that the Ukranian government fought against, NOT “shelling of innocents in Donbas”, which Russian propaganda will tell you.
