Pro-Russian propaganda want you to focus on one person as the cause of this invasion. That's really stupid and does not justify the invasion.

Yes I agree, I did not intend to infer that Putin's actions were in any way justified. He is a bad actor, and I am taking that fact for granted in all this. I simply am not convinced of the Zelensky hero narrative either though. I am very wary of overly simplistic narrative propaganda, and I am not convinced that Zelensky is a hero, or even that has he has decided on the best course of action for his people. His attitude towards Ukrainian lives seems a bit cavalier to me, and I suspect that the media is not giving me objective coverage in any way.
