Even the ones who were press ganged off the streets and to the front lines?
Funny you should mention fascists…
Every Ukrainian that fought, bled, and died is a victim of a western backed regime that allowed its country to be used in a proxy war with Russia. Every westerner that keeps cheering this on is a deplorable psychopath. The fact that you think this is about justifications shows that you're nothing more than a useful idiot facilitating atrocities.
It's weird that people are still regurgitating this talking point. Why would Russia end the war now that they're clearly winning it?
Ukraine did plenty to provoke Russia with western encouragement, and lots of prominent people in the west have warned that this would lead to a war. Ukraine has been in a civil war since the legitimate government was overthrown in a violent coup back in 2014.
Far more likely that this will happen in the Ukrainian army that's now largely composed from people the regime kidnaps off the street and who have no interest in fighting. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/15/world/europe/ukraine-military-recruitment.html
No amount of moralizing is going to change reality. The rest of the world had to deal with might makes right from the west since the end of USSR. Yet, all of a sudden morally bankrupt western public trying to get on a high horse when somebody else does the same thing the west has been doing for many decades. Nobody is impressed by that.
The west is conducting a literal genocide while we speak, yet here you are talking about morals. 🤡
Not sure how these things are mutually exclusive in your mind, but it's pretty clear that rational thinking isn't your forte.
That's right, everyone who disagrees with your is a Russian shill. You are very intelligent.
