I didn’t say I support it. But this is war. Who is at fault? The attacking nation. Russia. This is the enemy. They are at fault. It does not excuse the cruelties that are happening, but I sure think that it would be worse if the Russian army advances and murders and tortures civilians in the process like they have done already.
Sure, Zelensky might not be perfect, but I don’t think most presidents would do a better job.
To be clear: I hate that this is happening, I hate everything about it. I don’t have a solution and I don’t pretend that I know how to do it better.

Russia is in no way at fault for Zelensky’s actions. It was his and his alone choice to trap people in a country with active hostilities (so that he both has more cannon fodder to expense and more casualties to pin on Russia). It was his and his alone choice to kidnap people off the streets and send them to their deaths. The enemy for the people being kidnapped and sent to their deaths is Zelensky’s regime and others who support that regime. Russia does a lot of terrible things, but all of what I originally commented is solely on Zelensky and those who support him. Putin is not trying to get me, my friends, my family and everyone I know killed, Zelensky does.

Like they did in Crimea, Melitopol, Donetsk, Lugansk, etc. right (and like Ukrainian force did NOT do in Kursk)? Or are people on those lands still doing [relatively] okay and can move to Ukraine controlled territories at any moment, while those who are on Ukraine controlled territories are kidnapped off the streets and cannot leave? Should [for a Ukrainian] be tortured by Ukrainians be somehow more preferable than being tortured by a Russian? (Ukrainian parliament members said that there are many more cases like this, it’s just the only one that managed to gain attention)

Well, thank you for that at least…
