MOSCOW (AP) — Russian troops launched their anticipated attack on Ukraine on Thursday, as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions, warning other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences you have never seen.”
From my understanding, they’ve attacked Ukraine’s military infrastructure to make it more difficult for them to regain control in the two separatist regions.
So it’s protecting the civilians of Donbas by crippling the military of Ukraine.
We’ll have to wait to see what the result of this is, and I can only hope for the best.
If the western media is right and it is an annexation, then I’ll admit to being wrong. But it really doesn’t look like that, so I’m going to keep giving Russia the benefit of the doubt for now.
Turns out, NATO media was wrong and Russia never invaded in the end. This chaos should end in the next 12 hours or so. It will not be a Crimea 2.0, and things went just as I thought they would have escalated.
It’s the protection of the citizens of Donbas against the Ukrainian military and the Azov battalion.
Oh ok that makes sense to me. I thought Russia went past Donbas into Ukraine.

Yeah. This is starkly different from what the media is trying to imply (that they are trying to annex Ukraine or something like that).
