Russia invaded Ukraine. So many people have died as a result, both Ukrainians and Russians. There is no way to spin this as anything other than a horrific and evil move by Putin to attempt expansionism, and the weakness of the Russian people not to stop him.
And it could stop. Today. All it takes is for Russia to withdraw. To stop trying to kill Ukrainians.
Ukraine cannot stop defending itself or it will be genocided.
Russia is hurting badly over its own stupid actions. It needs to reverse course and suck up the embarrassment.
