See youve been reading the putin troll propaganda handbook.....In fact youve printed it right here.
Firstly there was no proof of biolabs creating any biological warfare. The project was to refocus former soviet biological weapon labs to more friendly purposes. The United States provides biosafety, disease surveillance, and biosecurity assistance to more than 30 countries in Africa; Eastern Europe; South, Central and Southeast Asia; and the Middle East.
Reasons for maidan..... Ukraine voted 92% to be independant from a union with russia in 1991. With all the oblasts voting in favour including the donbas and crimea. In 2013 putin puppet yanukovych scrapped a potential union with the EU for one with the very country they voted to leave in 1991.. Whilst also jailing his main political opponent yulia tymoshenko.. In 2004 , another maidan had previously occured, with an orange revolution, against that same elected puppet yanukovych. Tho this time for "voting corruption", which was later proved true, as his "poisoned" opponent won the rerun comfortably.. Maidan began peacefully at first but then violence was used againt protestors and it escalated until yanukovych ordered snipers to shoot unarmed protestors. 120 died and thousands were injured. No way could he survive that bloodbath. Evidence was later found in his abandoned palace of voting corruption casting doubt on his earlier close election win.......Another election was held and the very pro maidan supporter poroshenko won.
The russian language was never banned. It was discouraged to encourage more people to learn ukranian. In public service ukranian was required to be used. Schools to designate it as the primary language. Ukraine could never gain access to the EU if it discriminated against a minority.
The odessa tragedy is what happens when anarchy takes over. The police and fire services never intervened. Some even took sides. Ukranians on the outside did rescue many from inside the building. Shots were being fired from both sides. Some died from both sides in the preceding rioting before the building caught fire. Barricading themselves in didnt help either.
Neither did lobbing molotovs at each other.
There were private militias set up at the time as the ukranian army was too weak at that time to fight what was uin essence a shadow russian army.. Azov was one of them. They have since been depoliticised and brought under ukranian army control. From wiki...About 14,200–14,400 people were killed in the war, the vast majority of them in the first year. About 6,500 were pro-Russian separatist forces, 4,400 Ukrainian forces, and 3,404 were civilians.
It has to be a proxy war as armageddon might be the alternative. There would be no war at all if putin abandoned his imperialist ambitions to recreate the USSR into a "greater russian world" again. The "belorussians", the "greater russians" and their so called "little russians" of ukraine all combininng together as a true superpower to rival the west..Thats what this is al about. Nothing to do with bio labs, the russian language or the supposed genocide of ethnic russians. If it was about ensuring their safety then all he needed to do was enter those regions after recognising them, which he did, and then create an exclusion zone along the disputed border. But he didnt. He invaded a sovereign nation, just like serbia is now, instead.
"Russia today fights for the freedom of all people in the world".....Nah russia today fights for a fascist style dictator with imperial dreams. Dictators in search of lost empires. Hitler, mussolini and now putin.
"14% of humanity, and 86% of humanity did not and will not impose sanctions on Russia" Only 5 countries voted against the UN resolution condemning the invasion. Russia, belorussia, syria, eritrea and north korea..Russia was also recently removed from the UNs human rights council......Think about that too....

@hansmueller3084 Baghdad/part of the 20 year "war on terror"after 9/11. Just like putin went after chechnyan rebels after beslan and other teror attacks on his civilians...... The 2 atom bombs ended WW2. Cost thousands but saved millions of lives in trying to invade "kamikazi" "iwo jima" japan. It was also a different era.....Napalm is no different to modern day incendiary munitions... Napalm/incendiary munitions are not banned by the geneva convention. Using them on civilians is. And is a war crime.........Human Rights Watch documented over 120 incidents involving incendiary weapons from 2012 to 2018 by the Syrian-Russian military alliance, which took place in six governorates: Aleppo, Damascus, Damascus Countryside, Daraa, Hama, and Idlib....In ukraine russia-backed separatist forces used ground-launched incendiary weapons, in particular 9M22S Grad rockets, in July-August 2014 in at least two towns in eastern Ukraine, Ilovaisk, and Luhansk. They burned several homes and endangered civilians.
The western military attempts to avoid civilian casualties in war time. Holds enquiries if required and punishes those that disobey the rules. Whereas putins russia seemingly celebrates it.
