That's all bullshit.

Russia's claims are very transparently not true. People were not being massacred in Ukraine. The burden of proof would be on you or on the Russians to prove that; but you can't, because it wasn't taking place. There were outstanding issues wrt language politics that needed to be addressed through existing political mechanisms. But that's hardly a legitimate casus belli.

At no point did Ukraine "pick a fight with Russia." Russia had previously annexed Ukrainian territory, and then launched a further invasion without any real provocation or justification other than a belief in an expansive view of Russian hegemony, a belief that Ukraine should be a suzerain to the Russian state and Russian people and that Russia should be able to determine the internal affairs and foreign relations of Ukraine. Those are the facts of what happened.

The abuses that take place in war do not discriminate based on the justness of the struggle. But when one country launches a war of choice and then engages in massive war crimes in its conduct of that war, the responsibility for those crimes rightly lies with them, and only with them.
