Saying, "I am certain" about a person about whom you know absolutely nothing, as well as about the subject under discussion, once again shows the level of your expertise and general culture as a person. I, unlike you, have lived in Ukraine all these years and know in detail the prehistory of the Ukrainian crisis. The abundance of pro-Putin trolls (as well as pro-Prostalinists) in the comments here proves once again the correctness of my assessments. However, thanks to you, we have learned one important detail - the February 24 invasion was a “provoked attack.” The International Criminal Court in Hague will possibly take this into account.
