Description
It is a remarkable achievement to lose not only a missile cruiser, landing ships, corvettes, and tankers, but also submarines, oil platforms, and the very thing you went to war for back in 2014, the safe harbor with dry docks, to a country without a navy. All the while having your air defense blown up by the very things they were supposed to protect you against. But none of these achievements would have been possible without the extensive assistance of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine. Truly a great job.--------
The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine is the most tragic thing that happened in Europe since WW2. This pointless war should be stopped.

Do not allow yourself to be deceived by the orcish apologists and their talking points. They don't provide any evidence, don't cite any sources, and its perfectly in line with their Firehose of Falsehood propaganda doctrine. Their goal is to muddy the waters and prop up their flimsy casus belli with their propaganda factoids. The following list contains common talking points and sources that explicitly disprove them.
1. "The Donbass conflict was a civil war". - False.
According to the Royal United Services Institute's briefing paper , which compiles various military and civilian reports, "The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) had to involve 117 combat and combat-support units to generate the approximately 42,000 troops rotating in the vicinity of the Russo–Ukrainian border: either stationed there, delivering artillery fire against Ukrainian territory from Russian soil, or directly participating in combat operations on Ukrainian sovereign territory."
There are also multiple cases of russian soldiers being captured in the Donbass region:

2. "13000 russian-speakers were killed in Donbass by the Ukrainian forces". - False.
According to the OSCE and UN reports, 3106 civilians lost their lives during this conflict. This number also includes 298 occupants of the MH17 airliner shot down by the pro-russian forces. 67% of the fatalities occurred during the first year of the war when the fighting was the most intense. The 13000 figure includes Ukrainian soldiers and Russia-backed troops.
3. "Ukraine is a nazi country". - False.
After the Revolution of Dignity, presidential candidates from all Ukrainian ultranationalist parties combined won only 1.86% of the votes; the number of votes on parliamentary elections the same year for them was even smaller - 1.80%.
4. "Ukraine bans russian language". - False.
Prior to the 2022 invasion, most Ukrainian schools had mandatory Russian classes. The curriculum is available on the official website of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine:
* Російська мова для загальноосвітніх навчальних закладів з навчанням російською мовою (this one's great because it says there are schools that use the russian language exclusively)
* Російська мова для загальноосвітніх навчальних закладів з навчанням українською мовою (початок вивчення з 5 класу)
* Російська мова для загальноосвітніх навчальних закладів з навчанням українською мовою (початок вивчення з 1 класу)
* Російська мова (this one is not as specific, but it's in the last section that lists curricula for schools with in-depth study of certain subjects)
