Which is the obvious ‘Russian propaganda’ shared here that you mention? Do list some.
If you think Russia acted out of anything other than selfish interest, I have a bridge to sell you.
I have no intent to buy one. If you ordered a bridge, you can keep it.
No one is saying that it is altruism in case of war.
But that Western imperialism’s arm… NATO’s escalation and posturing has contributed a lot to the issue.
I said it seems that Russia was baited by West’s encirclement



Maduro also did not cancel elections, right?
That is under Zelensky, right?
If so, then claims against Putin and Maduro also are wrong, as they also have council-equivalents, ministries of defense, agencies etc.
Regarding other claims, I did not see them here.
My understanding was that NATO expanded which baited Russia.
And there was growing Ukrainian supremacism with Russian speaking regions like Donbass being affected. Have read that their 2019 language law had exceptions for English and European Union’s official languages, while Russian, Belarusian and Yiddish languages did not have any. So, Russian speaking regions of Ukraine having issue is understandable there.
The Nazi symbols on some Ukrainian soldiers too.
My understanding is that Western imperialist powers wants to isolate Russia, setup NATO bases around them and squeeze them, for not falling in line as a vassal. NATO was getting closer to Ukraine, arranged regime change in 2014 etc.
And finally everything culminated into the Russia taking bait.
I remember seeing a video on it.
