  1. In 2014, when the corrupt then-President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, refused to sign an association agreement with the EU under pressure from Russia, people took to the streets. When the government tried to suppress the protests with violence and even used snipers, more than 100 people were shot. Ukraine's fight is self-determined - contrary to what Russia claims. Russia had already denied Ukraine its own will and assumed that the West was behind the protests. It was Ukrainian civil society that called for reforms against corrupt officials, police officers and politicians at the time. Julia Maruschewska: "These experiences on the Maidan, the battles, the fighting spirit, the unity, are the foundation of our strength in the war against Russia."

  2.  @zenvicecity5563  The Russians' war aims in Ukraine are just the culmination of a long list of lies: The government in Kiev is neither made up of drug addicts nor Satanists, and there is no fascism in Ukraine, whatever the Russian government imagines "fascism" to be. The “green men” in Crimea in 2014 were not Ukrainian self-defense forces; in the years since, there has been no genocide in Donbass. It's all Russian nonsense...
