It's strange that you continue to fall for this shit. It's actually not strange, it's kind of suspicious, but mostly comical. They could nuke Kiev and I guarantee you'd be on the lemmy post calling it fake news or trying to justify it.
The only thing comical here is how utterly brainwashed westerners are.
Bruh, US overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine, funded and trained literal fascists there, and is now trying to start WW3, but yeah BoTh SiDeS aRe BaD.
You could only apply the same logic if you completely ignore reality and history. Here's what Jacobin, a western publication has to say about the events of 2014, so maybe stop trying to rewrite history here https://jacobinmag.com/2022/02/maidan-protests-neo-nazis-russia-nato-crimea
Current government in Ukraine is full of extremists an has even integrated Azov battalion, who are unapologetic nazis, into their regular military.

Stop trying to rewrite history. Russia has never been the main aggressor here, and anybody claiming this is either an utter ignoramus or a liar.
US ran a color revolution in 2014 to install a pro western government in Ukraine. This was a long campaign, and even the guardian reported on it back in 2004 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa
and a bit more reporting on recent events from Jacobin https://jacobinmag.com/2022/02/maidan-protests-neo-nazis-russia-nato-crimea
