"Zelensky won the presidential election in a landslide in 2019 after much of his campaign was allegedly bankrolled by one of Ukraine’s richest — and most corrupt — oligarchs, Igor Kolomoisky."

"Instead, he said, the United States is simply using Ukraine to try to weaken its geopolitical rival. “War against Russia,” he said, “to the last Ukrainian.”

I get the impression that you dislike the US and Israel. Fine, but if you let that drive you all the way to supporting Putin then I urge you to stop and think for a moment.

Here are things I want, things I care about:

- Freedom
- Democracy
- Human rights
- Free speech
- Peace

I want this for everyone.

Unfortunately, people in Russia do not have democracy and they do not have free speech. That seems to me like the fundamental problem that lead to war. If Russia had been more democratic then this war would not be happening. People generally don't want war. (I call it war although in Russia saying that is apparently not allowed, no freedom of speech there.)

As for Ukraine, you might not like its leaders but it's clearly a more democratic country compared to Russia.

Please don't help Putin spread his lies. Instead, support freedom and democracy.

Note that supporting freedom and democracy is not necessarily the same thing as supporting the US.

Can we agree that freedom is good and that Putin's regime is bad?

@eliasr @alexl for to get a balanced view one has to listen to both sides
@eliasr @alexl @otso I strongly support this opinion. nobody over here supports putler. all all his "support" is Goebbels lies, total fake.
I have already warned the TS about Kremlin propaganda that he consumed and then spread. but he remains blind to reality and proceeds with reposting this nonsense. if not other posts in his profile I would decide he's a Kremlin paid troll and banned him a long ago. but things seem more plain: this is just another victim of putler's gross and sheer lies. this lie is dangerous and I don't know how to stop it. I just remind people to trust not any official Russian media and any bloggers that spread information from there. but Kremlin factory of trolls is much more than just official media, they are paid for posts in centralized social networks, comments on youtube and so on. they pretend being common people and among stupid senseless posta about kittens they push the propaganda. they did not get to Fediverse much yet, but it's important to tell people being careful and avoid spreading disinformation.
