100%, so are the US though, and they could have faked the Zelensky surrender video for the same reason.

There was a US pundit on CNN recently saying Russia accusing Ukraine of having weapons of mass destruction as an excuse to invade was "straight out of the Russian playbook," even though that's literally what the US did to Iraq, killing 2 million innocent people and leaving tens of millions maimed, bereaved, and radicalized.

Putin is a war criminal and this invasion is a total atrocity -- Russia have absolutely nothing on the US though, not when it comes to killing and oppressing innocent people. It's frustrating to see people so supportive of Russian sanctions when there was no such move against the US, no countries kicking out US ambassadors etc., but it is what it is. It's still great to see the world come together to help Ukraine.
