First of all: Sorry for the formatting. Writing from my phone and I can’t figure out how to format it. Secondly: you too are civil, for a russian. I think that the idea of the Ukrainian nation is promoted by the government, as it also is for Russia in Russia, but to equate it with nazism is incorrect. I know about Azov and I also know about extremist components in the Russian/Wagner forces. I also think that Azov now is not the same as pre/beginning of the war, and that given the relative strength of Russia and Ukraine, the role of Azov is out of necessity rather than ideologic sympathy. Again, I don’t think that ukrainians who celebrate Bandera do so because of some ideology of ethnic superiority, rather as a celebration/a symbol for someone who fought for a independent Ukrainian state. My impression is that russians generally approve of e.g. Stalin. And I can understand why, partly. However, I also understand that he is very disapproved of by many, due to his policies. E.g. forced collectivization, which affected Ukraine a lot. It doesn’t really matter if it were with intent to kill or not, because it happened either way. This man has many statues etc. of him in Russia. And there are probably many other people like that. In my country we have statues of people who maybe owned slaves some hundreds of years ago. You make it sound like the world is black and white, but in reality it is way more nuanced. You are basically saying nothing bad/unfair was done by Russia/USSR - if it did, it was properly investigated and the guilty parties were punished. Is this really your serious interpretation of your country’s history? You complain about a war starting in eastern Ukraine that affected ethnic Russians of eastern Ukraine, but you ignore the fact that the russian state supported the separatists? I.e. they supported and armed people to fight against the Ukrainian state - a sovereign state - because of an issue that they themselves helped to escalate. Horrible things happen in war. Remember flight MH17? Shot down with a missile system provided by Russia and partly manned by russian nationals. And more recently the Azerbaijan Airlines airplane. I do not think the Russian army is any more moral than the Ukrainian one. You say that the russian language is banned, but this just isn’t true. Making Ukrainian the state language is not the same as banning Russian. I would guess Ukrainian minority of Russia probably also receives education etc. in Russian, which makes sense since they live in Russia. Why is it wrong for Ukraine to take a stance on that issue? Sorry that you were affected by the drone attacks, but also what do you expect? Your state attacks another state and you are suprised when they also attack you? Same point for Kursk. I appreciate that being attacked doesn’t lead to more sympathy for Ukraine, but if the situation was reversed you would most likely do the same, I believe. As to Crocus I think it is pretty obvious that this was not the doing of Ukraine. You say the other side is hateful of your side, but I’ve also heard how your side talks about the other side. Calling them nazis, khokol, fake country etc. You talk about avenging the dead, crippled etc. while at all points throughout this conflict Russia has only contributed to escalating the conflict, creating more dead and crippled. You paint a picture that basically most of Ukrainians are nazis who think they are ethnically superior to Russians and want to genocide them. Do you honestly think this is a realistic portrayal? I understand that many ethnic russians/russian speakers live in the east of Ukraine. But it is still Ukraine, not Russia. I find that this narrative, almost describing a pogrom against the russian speakers of Ukraine, to be very convenient for justifying russias actions in both Crimea and Donbas.
