Then you are either willfully ignorant or lying. Films of Ukranian soldiers kneecapping Russian soldiers is just one of very many pieces of video evidence - posted by the Ukrainians.

The Budapest Memorandum: "...prohibited the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan..."

Here is Victoria Nuland picking out the post-2014-coup Ukraine government.

The US wasn't just coercing the Ukraine government, we were deciding who would be the Ukraine government.

Here is Joe Biden, bragging about direct economic coercion in Ukraine in 2016:

Russia can easily claim that the US broke the Budapest memorandum first.

Your claim that an entire nation is evil is to my mind as sick as virulent antisemites who claim all Jews are evil. So Russians risking prison to demostrate against the war are evil? The Russians trying to evade conscription to the Russian army are also evil?

Your sick "black and white" mindset is why have this fucking war in the first place. Goodbye.
