You need to understand that every pro-russian fellows here from bahamas to russia do not distinguish n**i, nationalits, patriots about Ukraine. Everyone are n**i in eyes of those 'smart' debaters and you can't change anything.
It's a simplier for them and create bigger fear about 'n**i problem'.
That allow to jusity war/civil henocide or even call a n**i HALF MILLION russian-speaking civil people stucked in Mariupol.

You are too emotionally attached to the topic that you cannot see the wood for the trees. You get civilians being shrink wrapped to lamp posts and various other humanitarian crimes and you lot are like "Ah Putin killed a journalist 3 years ago, don't forget!"
I have zero emotionality to it, I have no ties to Ukraine or Russia other than working with several freelancers in both countries and I get on fine with both nations when I've visited, they are all, in the main, decent people.
However, I am looking at what is happening on the ground and the stuff I am seeing from the Ukrainian side i.e. the Zelinksky regime, SBU and those far-right battalions/mercenaries is horrifying so that's what I post on. There is zero chance I can support that.
Sadly some Ukrainian civilians and people in this thread are so hypnotised by propaganda and the narrative that they either support these actions, try to defend them, or simply ignore them. It's the same reason we saw people driving in their cars, alone, no passengers, wearing a mask to protect themselves. Look up Desmet's thesis and it's happening again here, well described also by Hannah Arendt. We see it repeating here, how could so many usually decent people go along with such atrocities? Mass formation.
Are there going to be Russian units committing crimes? Absolutely, it happens in all wars. But from a birds-eye view, this has been a careful operation done to try and minimise civilians casualties. Let's face it, Russia could blow Ukraine to pieces, as the USA did with Iraq, Libya etc. Instead, they've taken a much different approach.
