Anyone describing Russia's invasion of Ukraine as an 'unprovoked attack' is either ignorant or lying.
The 'unprovoked attack' was in Ukraine, in 2014. A rebellion was hijacked by the US. A puppet government installed. It's all documented.
And following that, for 8 years Russia has been seeking peace deals that have been repeatedly broken by that US-backed Ukrainian government, which has waged war on the east, resulting in 14,000 deaths. Where was the 'international community' and the 'human rights groups' during that assault, (that involved neo-Nazi groups!)?
(And this is just one of hundreds of covert/overt unprovoked attacks from the US & co over the last 70 years, all around the world. Will they now learn that those days are over?).
US/NATO have been expanding east in Europe, pushing up against Russia, pulling out of weapons treaties, for the last 30 years, surely knowing that eventually Russia would lash out. If the boot was on the other foot, I imagine we'd have been in a major world war long ago! (So far, Putin's just targeting military sites in Ukraine).
Arrogant, ignorant, western exceptionalists/imperialists are HUGELY to blame for this situation. How dare they now attack those of us who've been trying to find peaceful solutions. This war is on them and their refusal to even consider the other side of the story.
I recommend watching Oliver Stone's film for Russia's perspective.
(Also read this. According to one study, 70 per cent of western Ukrainians have a favorable view of Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera, while that number is 11 per cent in eastern Ukraine).
