It’s laughable that you totally omit the fact that Russia illegally annexed the Crimea back in 2014 and started this whole mess.

It very clearly started before that with Euromaidan

The Kremlin still took it upon itself to invade and illegally seize Ukrainian land, though.

Yes, it did, but it's important to actually understand the context for why it happened in order to end the conflict.

Russia didn't just suddenly go crazy and randomly decide to restart the Tsar's empire.

I know that; I never said it did.

And I never said Russia's invasion was legal or even justified. Glad we understand eachother.
