It certainly was provoked. You can forget parroting that it wasn't provoked. Unfortunately Zalensky and his Government threw the Ukranian population under a bus. As far as 'unjust'. Compared to the Israeli bombing and assault on Gaza. Where there are near 40,000 civilian casualties in only 7 months. Ukraine conflict has only a fraction of that , and in over 2 years. As far as wars are concerned. Civilians casualties are very low. FYI. People who call you out don't necessarily support Putin.
