Der Schlag gegen eben jene Flugzeuge, die routiniert ganze Städte terrorisieren, war schlicht mehr als angemessen.

Sollten die USA als Sicherheitsgarant ausfallen, glauben Sie ernsthaft wir wären nicht bedroht? Ich würde es mir ja wünschen, aber dafür kenne ich Russland zu gut.

Ihnen ist aber schon bewusst, dass Russland seit 3 Jahren schon zivile Ziele angreift, sich einen Dreck um das Völkerrecht schert und das komplette Land auf Kriegswirtschaft eingestellt hat?

It's your right to be against arming Ukraine, but please acknowledge that Russia is the only one responsible for the unbelievable atrocities and destruction taking place in 🇺🇦.

The only one suppressing russian speakers in Donbass is Russia, since they sent all men to die on the front line. Have a look at the stories of people from deoccupied territories.

For my part, my mother and her family were Russian speaking, I am russian speaking and visited the country every year until 22'. I clearly remember that until 2014 even in Kyiv most people would talk russian to you.

So many friendships were torn apart, since 22' she even broke ties with her sister.

After a visit in western Ukraine, where she bought a traditional Wyschywanka, she then realised she couldn't wear it without being harassed.
She then took all her belongings, left her hometown and never returned.

But the eye opening moment came only when she had a performance at a restaurant in Donetsk. There's a Ukrainian song she always uses for vocal warm-up. She was mocked and asked to stop.

During this time, there were plenty of Russian soldiers and heavy military equipment stationed around larger cities. People were lured with money if they voted for "independence".

Since the people of Donbas already felt more associated with Russia, it was easy to spread misinformation.
Then, the so-called "Referendum" was announced, just a few weeks before the presidential elections.

Let's come back to the story of my acquaintance. She told me that during the months following the Maidan Revolution she was actually more afraid of Ukraine, because television and especially social media were constantly pushing russian narratives.

3/
The last "regime" in Ukraine was led by Viktor Yanukovich, who was a member of such party and got kicked out by the people during EuroMaidan. Please don't come up with claims that this was a foreign coup, this couldn't be less true. I was there 2014 and have seen it with my own eyes.

everything you need to know about the whole situation during and after 2014.

So basically, it is true that the population of the Donbas region is mostly russian speaking and during past elections the majority has voted for parties which supported a closer relationship to Russia.

Do you know anyone who lived in Donbas before 2014? My mother's best friend was born and raised in Luhansk. She still has some relatives there. Just a week ago I was talking to a 🇺🇦 refugee, she is a singer from a small village near Donetsk. I'll summarize her story, cause it actually tells

I really recommend you to watch some russian television. You could also look for statements from Duma members. Or listen to Medwedew for example. You think that's no threat? Besides that, if you support Palestine, shouldn't you generally oppose oppressors & occupants?
