In an effort to distract attention from its losses in Ukraine and obfuscate its war on Ukrainian civilians, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations accused the United States, the United Kingdom and unnamed other Western countries of launching “the largest in history war by proxy with Russia using Ukrainians and ready to go “until the last Ukrainian”. He then claimed that it was Ukraine and its Western supporters, not Russia, who started the war.
It’s time to set the record straight. Leading up to Russia’s February 24 invasion of Ukraine, Russia fervently insisted that it had no plans to invade Ukraine, said Deputy U.S. Representative to the United Nations Richard Mills before the UN Security Council.
“And now Russia has the gall to blame other countries for refusing to step aside as it seeks to destroy another UN Member State, in violation of the Charter and international law.”
“The United States is committed to supporting the people of Ukraine as they defend their lives, their liberty, and their democracy. We are not hiding this support … And we will not stop our support to Ukraine just because Russia is frustrated that its attempt at regime change has not gone to plan.”
“All countries have the inherent right of self-defense, consistent with Article 51 of the UN Charter. This is a simple, straightforward principle. Every member of the United Nations has a right to its sovereignty and its territorial integrity,” said Ambassador Mills.
“If you were in Ukraine’s shoes, how would you respond if a bigger neighbor invaded you? If your neighbor sent its armies into your cities, your lands – what would you do? What would you ask of the international community?”
“None of us here would simply let our country’s history and identity be attacked, our cities shelled to rubble, our people killed, our territory taken. We would appeal for international support in the face of such naked aggression.”
“Ukraine is responding to this invasion as any of us would – by defending itself. We salute the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all Ukrainian citizens who continue to inspire the world with tremendous skill and profound courage.”
“The United States,” said Ambassador Mills, “is proud to stand with Ukraine and our allies and our partners from more than 50 countries in providing vital security assistance to support Ukraine’s defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression.”

Then ignore it. You are free to read the Russian representative’s speech, as I’m sure it is online somewhere. You might find THAT more to your liking.
I would just like to finally get to the truth...the historical, nuanced facts of this venture, which has been obfuscated in bs since the outset!
VOA . That’s a gubmint operation ain’t it ? Psyops paid for with your tax dollars . Sure ! Swallow the whole thing hook and sinker heh .

Read what you can and draw your own conclusions.

The presumption is that you agree with VOA and this tripe.
Correct?
Mills should channeled his inner Bill and replied: “You should put some ice on that...by withdrawing from Ukraine.”
What, that VOA takes the side of the ChiComs? I’d be surprised if VOA didn’t.
I ignored that just as I told you to ignore the VOA article you are bitching about.
neither “bitching” nor “liking” — you’ve got that covered
In your dreams.

Despite rambling Putin propaganda, MAGA folks and President Trump are PRO-UKRAINE.
Trump’s thoughts & suggestions:
“Former President Donald Trump called in to Varney & Co. on Fox Business.
REMARKS:
’Let me just explain that Putin is saying things like, “Don’t you dare send anything in.” In the meantime he’s killing thousands and thousands of people. So he’s acting like we’re an aggressor if we send in some old 44-year-old plane that probably gets shot at in the sky pretty quickly, and he’s acting like we’re terrible people if we do that. But he’s killing tens of thousands of people, far more than they’re reporting,’ Trump answered.
‘Well what I would do, is I would — we would — we have tremendous military capability. And what we can do without planes, to be honest with you, without 44-year-old jets, what we can do is enormous, and we should be doing it and we should be helping them to survive and they’re doing an amazing job,’ he said.
Biden has also taken steps to punish the Russian economy with crippling sanctions on financial institutions and Kremlin elites, along with a full import ban on Moscow’s energy goods.He added, ‘One thing I’d do rapidly is I’d get the oil flowing, because if you reduce the price of oil significantly, that war is going to end.’
“You know the expression, what you need for war is three things, money, money, and money. And if you bring down the price of oil — and you could knock the hell out of the price, I had it down to $1.71 at one point.
Varney asked, ‘Well what extra military help you would give the Ukrainians.’
Trump said that ‘drones are just as effective as anything nowadays,’ adding that ‘you can do drones, plus they give back tremendous amounts of information, and the information leads missiles to whatever the hell target they are.’
“You got to get that oil down. And if you get the oil down, that war is going to end,” he repeated.
Varney pressed Trump on “what extra military help you would give to the Ukrainians. You say you want to do more than just the MiG jets or the Javelins.”
Thank you very much for posting this article.
I am a MAGA person.
I am not pro-Ukraine.
I am not pro-Russia.
