    It’s brain-melting that these people who care so deeply about the lives of Ukrainians and their right to self determination will about-face the moment that you raise the issue of the state of civil war in Eastern Ukraine was in since 2014 and the right to self-determination for people in the Donbas region.

    They’ll literally go out of their way to call you an apologist for Putin and shit. Like, bruh, Ukrainians have been dying for nearly a decade now and you only started giving a shit about it when the media told you to, and even then it’s only a curated, selective concern for the lives of Ukrainians.

      Not to mention that war with Russia could have easily been avoided if at any point in those 8 years of Ukraine killing civilians, it had lived up to the promise it made in Minsk and Minsk II of just giving the eastern regions autonomy and a vote on self-determination. That was always the only major demand from Russia.

      Yeah, the sheer hypocrisy of the position is just disgusting. Hell, I doubt most of them even knew anything about Ukraine before this war started, except for maybe some vague “Russia stole Crimea, that bad.”
