  1.  @nlorand9033  "killed civilians since 2014" The civilian death toll in the Donbas since 2014 is around 3,500 on both sides. The intensity of that conflict has dropped substantially since the first year; In 2014 it was about 2000, in 2015 about 900, in the last three years it's been around 20/year, with half of those deaths being caused by from mines and explosive residue of war planted or expended in the earlier years. "Ukrainian democracy is silencing jailing and killing critics" In the 2014 Ukraine elections Petro Porashenko was the winner, in the 2019 election Zelinsky defeated Poroshenko. Poroshenko is very much alive and working to support the Ukrainian efforts to evict the Russians from Ukraine. If killing critics is a concern of yours - and it should be - you should check out the situation in Russia where critics are routinely imprisoned and killed. "Ukraine government Kill list" You're referring to the Myrotvorets web site run privately by former Ukraine politician George Tuka. It is not a "kill list", though it's described as such by Russian propagandists, on the site it's described as a list of people: "whose actions have signs of crimes against the national security of Ukraine, peace, human security, and the international law". If it were a "kill list" one would expect at least one person on the list to have been murdered as it's been up for 8 years. "Negotiations . . . for peace" The time for negotiations is when Russia ends it's imperialist invasion of its neighbor and takes its army home. At this stage negotiating with Putin would be as pointless as negotiating with Hitler in August 1944. You go on to mention US military actions/invasions of other countries in the past while defending the Russian invasion. This is a logical inconsistency I've pointed out numerous times on this site: If you condemn US military invasions because of the many thousands of deaths they cause, morally you should also be condemning the Russian invasion which has also caused many tens of thousands of deaths. Compare the tens of thousands killed in Ukraine in the last year to the approximately 10 deaths a year (UN observers mission reports) on both sides in the Donbas in recent years from shelling. How can anyone justify the Russian aggression when it's taken so many lives?
