@Rapsey-0 As to your other fictions: Have some facts.
Russia agreed to a peace deal in April 2022, that gave them no new territory. Even Zelensky agreed.
Who vetoed it? UK/USA.

After repeated USA attacks on Russia civilians in Russia territory, Putin, for all his faults, has shown restraint.
Even now, Russia has hardly taken much. Under 20%

Ukraine is to Russia, as Canada is to USA.
Canada thinks it's a real country - but in truth, it reports to King Chucky's Governor general who, at times, openly messes with Canada legislature PM & elections.
likewise: Kiev regime reports to London & Washington.
Ukraine nationalism & language were 19th-20th century inventions of, basically, Nazis. First some proto-Nazis & then in mid-20th century on, CIA plus some leftover-WW2 Nazis.
Many Ukrainians speak Russian at home & must remind themselves to self-introduce the small language differences we call "Ukrainian". Even Zelensky reverts to Russian, under stress.
"Ukraine nationalists" rose up to fight for Hitler in WW2.
Imagine Canada had that bad history......and then, hostile foreign power made bases all over Canada, made anti-USA coup & began to burn alive, USA-descended Canadians.
USA would totally invade.
Why would I go throw my life away for a righteous cause that the major world powers have decided to let lose?
Convenient excuse.
Why? Because you call it "righteous cause". It's not - but - at least put your actions where your mouth is.
ALSO, you had all of 2022, 2023 & 2024 to volunteer - with world support. You didn't.
It's typical of Team Bloodthirsty - gamble with other people's lives. Rah rah. Fight to the last (Ukrainian / impoverished Ohio teenager / Afghan / etc)
But rationally, this war is Evil vs. Evil - No one should volunteer.
As to who is "lesser evil": Remind me of American journalist - if any - that Putin put in jail & then didn't trade away, but instead, had him die in jail.
I can remind you, of 1 that Zelensky did. His name was Gonzalo Lira.
