What do you want me to say, that it's clear Russia continually violates ceasefire for the past 20 years of various nation states?
Like idk you can go find plenty of sources that say that I'm sure some won't be in English but you're not going to ever find something from Russia themselves that says "yeah we violated this shit"
What do you want me to say? I already said that I don't want to excuse Russia or its' imperialism.
But I also don't think that just because Russia is an imperialist nation that you should in turn start hero-worshipping Selensky. As the interests of the Ukrainian state diverged from the interests of the Ukrainian people that it uses as cannonfodder for its national interest.
The enemy of my enemy is not automatically my friend. Two parties can be inexcusable (compare: Israel and Hamas). No war but class war.
