Russian leaders need to be held accountable for their actions on pushing the war in Ukraine as well for their underlying agendas. Russia should be economically held accountable for rebuilding Ukraine and for the lives lost chasing their agendas.

@darrylwikohika9068 , @racing_mntage1584 Feb -14 “coup”: It already started in nov -13. First there was an attempted coup by the russians. They put pressure on president Yanukovych to not sign an already negotiated political association and free trade deal with EU. When people heard about this scam, they gathered in the streets. Protesters opposed what they saw as widespread government corruption and abuse of power, the influence of Russians and oligarchs, police brutality, and human rights violations. Ressive anti-protest laws fuelled further anger. In January and February 2014 further protests resulted in the government’s resignation. On 21 February, Yanukovych and the parliamentary opposition signed an agreement to bring about an interim unity government, constitutional reforms and early elections. The next day, 22 February, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove Yanukovych from office by 328 to 0.

@racing_mntage1584 After the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine in 2014, Russia occupied and annexed Crimea with “little green men” (Russian masked soldiers). More “little green men” together with Russian armed pro-Russian separatists seized government buildings and proclaimed the independent states of Donetsk and Luhansk, sparking the Donbas war. The Russian Federation initially denied that these were Russian military forces, but in April 2014 Vladimir Putin finally confirmed the presence of the Russian military. Alexander Borodai, Prime Minister of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, stated that 50,000 RUSSIAN citizens fought in the Donbas up to August 2015. THESE SOLDIERS are the ones that the Ukraninan government fought against, NOT “shelling of innocents in Donbass”, which Russian propaganda will tell you.

@lilidezman624 Well, well, some people can't stand the truth. And the only solution they have is to hide under the bed.

@naas699 Disinformation: Ukraine was committing genocide in Donbas for eight years. Verdict: FAKE NEWS In order to pursue its expansionist goals in Ukraine, Russia also unleashed information warfare against Ukraine simultaneously with its military aggression. Moreover, it was the “pretext” based on disinformation and falsehoods which Putin used to launch his invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. On 24 February 2022, Putin stated that the goals of the full-scale war, which he calls a “special operation,” are to “protect the population from genocide as well as denazify and demilitarise Ukraine together with the protection of those people who were abused and subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.” Putin made similar statements at the session of the Human Rights Council in December 2021, saying that “what is happening in Donbas now very much reminds us of genocide.” The claim that Ukraine was committing genocide in Donbas has become a main propaganda message not only for the Kremlin and Kremlin-run media but in other pro-Russian sources as well. The aim of this disinformation is to proclaim Russia’s actions in Ukraine as legitimate and completely disregard any Kremlin-directed blame. In fact, there is not a single international document or conclusion of any relevant international organisation whatsoever that would confirm Moscow’s allegations. That Putin and the Kremlin are unable to prove that genocide indeed took place in Donbas is confirmed by the fact that Russia has never officially appealed to the UN Genocide Prevention Office or any other international institutions over the issues of genocide and ethnic cleansing. (According to UN and Human Rights Watch reports, 3,400 civilians have died in Donbas since 2014. And 84 percent of them were killed by Russian and separatist artillery. The vast majority of deaths were in the first two years of the war (2014 and 2015))

@lilidezman624 Ukraine became independent in 1991 and has been ever since. Every countries have recognized that, even russia. russia has never disputed Ukraine's sovereignty or borders, including Crimea. BTW, Ukraine decided to get rid of russian interference in its internal politics in 2014. That doesn't make them less independent. But I guess it's hard to understand for a russian.

@lilidezman624 "When a foreign country leads your internal and external policy, you are completely dependent on it". Just like they were under the russian influence you mean?! All this is clear to a five-year-old, but not to an adult russian, it seems.

@naas699 Seymour Hersh is a liar and a propagandist for russia, just like you.

You seem to know the casualties, what are the russian casualties?

@albrechtvdb6016 Mr Gorbachev himself said that there were no such promise. Besides, russia does not decide who can be a member of NATO or not.

@albrechtvdb6016 Every country on the planet has neighbors, silly argument! I think it's up to Ukraine who they want to cooperate with. And up to NATO who they let in. russia has no say in this.

@albrechtvdb6016 Bullshit! NATO isn't America. Ukraine is in Europe (as well as the Baltics) and the rest of Europe is in NATO. And smaller countries than russia will of course seek protection from that beast.

@JimmyJenkinJohnson You're talking crap, russia has never been interested in realistic peace talks.

@JimmyJenkinJohnson MINSK II Representatives of Russia, Ukraine, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the leaders of two pro-Russian separatist regions signed a 13-point agreement in February 2015. It set out military and political steps that remain unimplemented. A major blockage has been Russia's insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms. Point 10, for example, calls for the withdrawal of all foreign armed formations and military equipment from the two disputed regions, Donetsk and Luhansk: Ukraine says this refers to forces from Russia, but Moscow denies it has any forces there. (Later Putin admitted there were russian forces.) Signing of the first documents in September 2014 followed direct incursion of the Russian regular troops in Donbas and intense hostilities near the city of Ilovaysk — the place of one of the most shameful crimes, committed by the Russian Army in Donbas. At least 366 Ukrainian servicemen were killed and 429 were wounded there while leaving the city in the so-called “green corridor” under the guarantees of commanders of Russian troops. In violation of the Minsk Memorandum, Russian troops and Russia-backed illegal armed formations seized 8 pieces of land 1696 km² in area, which had to be on the Ukrainian government-controlled territory according to the line of contact, defined by the Memorandum. Debaltseve is one of the most telling examples of how Russia violates the Minsk Agreements. Combined Russian-terrorist forces attacked and seized the city and the outskirts on 16–18 February 2015, immediately after the Minsk Package of measures, establishing the comprehensive ceasefire since 15 February, had been signed.
