    The official narrative is that Ukrainian government is illegitimate and ruled by Nazis, abd the country needs to be “liberated” from their rule.

    Okay but we, over here on the good side of the sanity line, know that’s not true, right? It justifies nothing.

      Absolutely, it doesn’t justify any actions of Russia in Ukraine, and I never said so.

      I just say the Putin’s endgame doesn’t necessarily include Ukraine losing statehood (but it would certainly become a puppet state with all the negative consequences).

          Could you please send said essay? Genuine request.

          I answered on “deportation of children” in another thread. Long story short - those are kids from orphanages in Donbass, and I’d rather have them moved to safety (which both Russia and Ukraine do) than left to die in a warzone. Don’t see how it constitutes ethnic cleansing.
