Russia Ukraine war, page-232236

That is correct.

Just because Putin a thug dictator decides to murder a country's inhabitants to steal their land,rights and children doesn't make the invasion correct, far from it.

Putin lies then lies again then lies again. Why would Ukraine want its future subjugated by Russia under Putin?

Putin is a hollow shell, went for his crazy place in history selling lies to invade. He has dragged Russia into the gutter of the world, along with Iran and North Korea.

The Russian troops need to leave Ukraine. Russia needs to find a way to live peacefully with a neighbour to benefit both countries. Hard to do, a democracy living next to a dictatorship. Should ditch Putin.
