On Ukraine, the world majority sides with Russia over US. Ever so slowly the truth is surfacing.

2014 saw two pivotal events that led to the current conflict in Ukraine.
The first, familiar to all, was the coup in Ukraine in which a democratically elected government was overthrown at the direction of the United States and with the assistance of neo-Nazi elements which Ukraine has long harbored.
Shortly thereafter the first shots in the present war were fired on the Russian-sympathetic Donbass region by the newly installed Ukrainian government. The shelling of the Donbass which claimed 14,000 lives has continued for 8 years, despite attempts at a cease-fire under the Minsk accords which Russia, France and Germany agreed upon but Ukraine backed by the US refused to implement. On February 24, 2022, Russia finally responded to the slaughter in Donbass and the threat of NATO on its doorstep.
And for what it’s worth, Ukraine has been one of the most corrupt places, Biden and his son could tell you a thing or two about it. Aside all this Vlodomyr Zelenskyy’s net worth is around 596 Mil. and his monthly income around 11 Mil. No doubt that some of this income is derived from his time in show business, where he wasn’t too great to begin with. But the bulk comes from the US propping him up supporting his charade.
That is a favorite talking point of Putin's propaganda teams. Are you posting from St. Petersburg or Moscow?
About 14,000 people have died in the war in the Donbass that Russia started in 2014. Of that number most are soldiers, about 1/2 from the Ukraine, and about 1/2 from Russia or their allied DNR and LNR militias. The shelling not surprisingly goes both ways, just like it does right now.
If you look at the OSCE monitoring reports from before when Russia started invading Ukraine this year the shelling often started from the Russian held side and then return fire came from the Ukrainians.
The claim that Ukraine shelling caused the deaths on both sides is just more ridiculous Russian propaganda.
