"Unprovoked" only if you think that history started on 24 February 2022.

NO. Unprovoked in 2014.

neutral Ukrainian government

Why do you support this obvious disinformation from Putin? Ukraine had a corrupt Russian government before 2014. The PEOPLE put an end to that. NO amount of foreign money could have been part of those protests, nor is that at issue. The issue is Russian take-over of Ukraine, politically before 2014, and militarily - in the East - after 2014.

But that's more of an explanation someone like you deserves. Why do you support the slaughtering, raping, torturing, displacing, burning, and kidnapping millions of people? Do you want to do this to others? Do you want to join Putin's army, to commit more war crimes? Do tell, what is redeemable about any of this or about you?
