    How many people in Ukraine got shelled by Russia? Ask them if they want to be liberated by a country without free speech or democracy. I mean, ask the ones that are still alive and not already killed by Russian military.

      Russia is only asking for the Donbas you know that right? They aren’t trying to take all of Ukraine. The people of the Donbas clearly would prefer to be part of Russia or independent given they fought for a decade about it. Why should banderites in Kyiv and the West of Ukraine get to decide for the Donbas?

          So you support the shelling of the Donbas and repression of minorities? Certainly a take. The people of the Donbas don’t want the Donbas to be part of Ukraine since the banderite government began their repression campaign around 2014. They asked Russia for help as the majority of the Donbas is ethnic Russians.

          They can move if they want, but the ground belongs to the majority

          You’re also pro ethnic cleansing wow.

          Edit:

          All of this is irrelevant to my original point anyway. Which is that no matter how you personally feel about Russia, the war, etc. etc. etc. the people of the Donbas likely see the war as liberatory for them.
