'In the last few minutes, the Ukrainian authorities have said more than 2,000 civilians have been killed so far in Russia's invasion, which began nearly a week ago.'

bruh

Reddit country

theres no right thing or wrong thing here, we've been battling against russia for influence over ukraine for 20 years

The biggest propaganda rn is that Putin is LOSING ANY MOMENT NOW, which is just straight-up a coping mechanism.

Ukraine is reporting 6000 Russian deaths as well

all these companies and countries applying sanctions acting like putin didnt know this would happen

people really think putin is being outsmarted

🧢

ye civilians though bruh when they 'weren't targeting civilians'

now do you believe that?

His stance against NATO expanding all the way to Ukraine is more than understandable, the invasion isn't justifiable, but the US knew Russia would intervene in some kind of capacity if they expanded to Ukraine.

Diplomatic cable from US ambassador in 2008 from Moscow detailing how pushing for Ukrainian NATO membership would lead to the exact situation we're in now:

"Not only does Russia perceive encirclement by NATO, and efforts to undermine Russia's influence in the region, but it also fears unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences which would seriously affect Russian security interests. Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face. ... Dmitri Trenin, Deputy Director of the Carnegie Moscow Center, expressed concern that Ukraine was, in the long-term, the most potentially destabilizing factor in U.S.-Russian relations, given the level of emotion and neuralgia triggered by its quest for NATO membership. ... Because membership remained divisive in Ukrainian domestic politics, it created an opening for Russian intervention. Trenin expressed concern that elements within the Russian establishment would be encouraged to meddle, stimulating U.S. overt encouragement of opposing political forces, and leaving the U.S. and Russia in a classic confrontational posture. ... Trenin cautioned strongly against letting an internal Ukrainian fight for power, where MAP was merely a lever in domestic politics, further complicate U.S.-Russian relations now."

If you now take this stance you're a Russian bot

You can tell these people never followed a war before in their life

Russia had legit concerns and instead of finding a resolution the US/NATO/Ukraine kept fueling the fire

People are so gullible

they're close enough

Ukraine been pushing blatant propaganda this whole war man
I wouldn’t take anything they say at face value

Exactly.

They knew Russia would intervene 14 years ago, apparently they knew Russia was going to invade as well these past months, and they knew that pushing for Ukrainian NATO membership is why.

They encouraged Ukraine to play the tough guy with Russia and look where that got us. But they got what they wanted, this will definitely weaken Russia, at the highest cost of Ukrainians.

It's just Afghanistan all over again.

As someone who’s actually Russian, Putin is not right and never have been.
Russian people deserve better.
