You stupid ass, that article was published two months after the SMO began and only discusses details of the fighting since then, there is no discussion of Ukraine's escalating bombardment of the Donbas that led up to the attack, or any of Russia's given reasons for attacking with its army. Such as thousands of Donbas civilians slain by Western Ukraine's fascist paramilitaries, which were well documented by Western press and denounced by US politicians from 2014 until Feb 2022.

Ah, you mean when

If you're going to post like a neck bearded smuglord you could at least understand what the fuck the discussion is even about. Fuck you, you Nazi sympathizing piece of shit.

Remember when Stalin smoked all the weed in the Ukraine? He packed it all into his giant bong and took the biggest rip anybody has ever taken, it was called the Bowlodomor and it it was dope as fuck

Fucking libs really out here posting state propaganda like it's some sort of slam dunk

ad hominem

Ukraine's artillery was targeting military positions - Russian artillery - while Russia, he said, was also targeting towns and cities.

How did towns and cities in Donbas keep getting hit with artillery if Ukraine wasn't targeting them?

Ah yes, the classic military positions of "towns and villages filled with civilians," mostly those occupied by nongovernmental forces.
