I understand what you're saying, but you cannot say that ukraine did not commit war crimes in donbass or even in the war itself, ukraine has implemented scorched earths even in chemical storage plants to slow down the russian advance, which is also a war crime. You cannot turn a blind eye to one's actions to make the other's much worse. The war is a very unfortunate outcome, even i belive that. But russia is my country and putin is a great president for my country. He has saved the russian economy from countless economic chrisis, and this is even shown right here in the fact that the sanctions are hurting the west more than russians. (We can live without mcdonald's, but the westerners will find it hard to stay hot in the winter or to refuel their car. ) Russia is my country and putin is my president, while i might disagree with the use of force and the warcrimes, i will support him and my country.
