USA yes, Russia no. Ukrainian militias (that were then incorporated into the military, like the Azov battalion) were indiscriminately shelling civilian areas, and Russia didn’t respond with a “shock and awe” campaign; as for what our government has done, we have a lot to be worried about.
This brings up the Donbas situation and puts the death toll at 14,000 over eight years (I actually thought it was 8,000), but there was a chart I recall seeing somewhere that actually broke down how many people died month to month over there.
There’s a funny segment in this boy boy video at 14:44 where you can see Zelensky go to the militias in an attempt to intimidate them into handing over their weapons (and he does it pathetically to be honest).

This also popped up for me when I went looking for the counterpunch article and thought maybe it would provide more details.
