This war has been going on for 8 years in Donbass, this war has been happening since the 39 Ukrainians were burned alive in Odessa, which the Ukrainian Media, said nothing at the time. The same media that to this day says nothing of the war in Donbass or the blatant racist Neo Nazi demonstrations that happen annually or the attacks against Ukrainians motivated by these extremists. What they have been doing, and what this person is doing in their post, is spread the same narrative: they are Russian Agents, they aren't even Ukrainians. This is buttressed by the fact that Neo Nazi have gained a hold of history and so Ukrainian Heroes are guilty of the most despicable things and yet they are celebrated especially for those despicable things. The media blackout and subsequent whitewashing of Donbass and the society in denial of the very common reality of Russophobia only effect hate and further division across Ukraine so that it's a complete joke to negotiate, or want peace. When people have, for 8 years, declared war instead of following through with their own peace agreement, and have declared that there will be no more Talk, then they make peace Impossible. The ones who have declared war against Russian culture, language and heritage make peace impossible. Those who refuse to respect their own neighbors valid national security concerns and choose instead to invite those who have refused to befriend or even allow a modicum of neutrality towards said neighbor, they make peace impossible. Those that don't want peace, make war inevitable.

I will not reply to all this. Just wish you one day to go through Ukrainians go these days.
where are you from?
True or not, I hardly think RT should be trusted as an impartial reporter on the matter. And how many people does this justify Russia killing exactly?
My understanding is that most of the neo-nazi accusations revolve around the Azov regiment, a 900 member volunteer force. I'm not defending anything they have done. I'm just saying I don't see how it justifies Russia invading all of Ukraine.
So far, somewhere around 300 civilians have been killed already (an old number that is likely higher now) and there are expected to be at least a million refugees. Once again, how many people do you think Russia is justified in killing? Everybody in Ukraine? Are you saying all Ukrainians are Nazi sympathizers? What even are Russia's demands here? Russia already intervened in Donbas years ago and have effectively controlled it since. This goes well beyond that. But you think Putin's invasion of Ukraine is out of the kindness of his heart? As far as I can tell, he wants to set up a puppet regime that supports Russia, replacing the current president (who happens to be Jewish...not a likely Nazi) and administration. I suppose he annexed Crimea because Nazis too...
