The militarized Russian separatists having declared ‘independence’ are equal actors in the tragedy. Inviting a war to their region, which they cannot win. So the boys will be boys, Russian speakers killing Ukrainians and vice versa, except in the latter case its mostly civilians who are being shelled and bombed. To what purpose?
To bring the death and suffering to such a level that Russia looses the will to stand aside? That’s what it looks like to me and it’s sick.
Keeping in mind that the US/NATO seem to relish all this and have never once as far as I know attempted negotiation and de escalation I say pox on both their houses. I can find no good guys in the situation and with each passing day the longer term prospects for the residents get more grim.
