And by the way, it won't be long now for those nato officers or mercenaries trapped with their Ukrainian Nazis brothers in the Azovstol plant in Mariupol. That's going to be a little hard to explain but I'm sure they are working on the narrative at this very moment.

We are ordinary people with our own opinion, we are not heads of state, not politicians.
Whenever some asks you a simple question about the brutal invasion of Ukraine, you refuse to answer and instead just go off on some government sanctioned rant about Nazis or whatever.
Well, everyone is being so kind to him I have no idea why he'd get snappy.
I think mostly everyone has been incredibly civil to RussianTroll... to the point of Ad nauseam, if you want my honest opinion.
I’ve always liked the bloke and enjoyed reading his posts... but his now literally trying to justify the slaying of thousands of innocent civilians and the displacement of millions more... it’s now beyond a joke!

And that makes you a military expert ?
Exactly what were you trying to prove ?
That I have done a lot of fighting and so I see things differently. RT wants to play the righteousness card here in suggesting over and over that Russia is saving the people of Ukraine from the Nazis. I don't see people parading in the streets cheering on the Russians in Ukraine do you? Russia has flexed their power, and so has America and other countries right back.
There really is no good guys here, never has been.....

a Person at work from the area told me the Ukrainians have staged a lot of what is seen on our news stations... and the bomb that took out that train station came from within Ukraine...
I don't know what to believe anymore... i hate it all

Russia invaded a nation, and doesn't seem to have a coherent explanation as to why.

Ukrainian authorities and Western officials have repeatedly accused Russian forces of atrocities in the war that began with a Feb. 24 invasion. More than 4 million Ukrainians have fled the country, and millions more have been displaced. Some of the grisliest evidence has been found in towns around Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, from which Russian President Vladimir Putin’s troops pulled back in recent days.
Ukraine's post–World War II resistance was led by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, a far-right group that had collaborated with the Germans and survived long enough to also receive support from the CIA. It is memories of this insurgency, which the CIA credited with having killed 35,000 Soviet soldiers, police, and Communist Party officials, that Putin is trying to revive when he labels the current Ukrainian leadership as Nazis.

Did you fight for Russia or Ukraine ?
No , the word is , the Russians are not saving the Ukrainians from Nazis , they are saving the Russians in the Ukraine from Nazis .
There are a LOT of Russians living in the Ukraine .
Hades , Russian people migrated there and BUILT Ukraine .
I refuse to say who is right , as I have only that history to go by .
And the same applies to you .
We don't know .
According to the 2001 census, the Donetsk Oblast is inhabited by members of more than 130 ethnic groups.[53] The Ukrainian ethnicity is 56.9% of the population (2,744,100 people); the Russian ethnicity is 38.2% of the population (1,844,400 people).[
The population is largely Russian-speaking, although ethnic Ukrainians constitute a majority (58.0%). Among the minorities are native Russians (39.1%), Belarusians (0.8%), and others (1.4%).
Residents of Russian origin are mainly concentrated in the larger urban centers.

Post WW2...lol OK
Russia starved and killed 30% of the population there in the 30s, After WW2 they wiped out another 15% and put 100,000s in concertation camps as what the USSR typically did to subjugate the population in their satellite countries. Add on Crimea, his 8 year proxy war and now this. Can you tell me who are the bad guys here? Can you tell me why would Nazism even rise in that country?

Over 4 million Ukraines in the east were sure happy to see the Russian forces and they are hoping that the Ukrainian government won't be bombarding them with rockets as missiles anymore.
Another 2.5 million in Crimea were happy to see the Russian army and they are even happier now that they have fresh water flowing back in the Peninsula after the Ukrainian government denied them of water forb8 years, killed their crops and ruined all the farm land.
There are countless more Ukrainians happy to see the Russians they are just to scared to publicly show their appreciation.
