Dropping grenades from drones. When you are fighting for your country and your very life, you try everything you can. If Ukraine loses, there will be no future for Ukrainians.

There is no other "truth". There is one truth, and one truth only, and that is Russian aggression, and you support it.
1) Do you speak either Russian or Ukrainian?
- If you do, watch the raw footage from the region from as many sources as you can.
2) Do you personally know anyone who is in Ukraine right now?
- Obviously, pray for them. And ask them what is going on often. And check after the war if their opinion is changed. Don't listen to any patriots who aren't there.

If your answer is NO to both, just relax, wave and smile. You won't know the truth. It is not your war.

Interesting conversation with U.S vet who specialized in armored vehicles and logistics about Russian vehicles getting bogged down in Ukraine. Highly recommend for any military nerd. America would wipe the floor against the Russians.

You don't know anything about my personal life.
Yes, learned some Russian, had a Moscowvite boyfriend at Uni back when it was still USSR.
Yes, have friends in Ukraine, and none of them are flying Russian flags welcoming the invaders, in fact they hate them with a passion.
Anything else you want to know that is none of your business in the first place?

Check their opinion after the war... I have some friends there, one in Mariupol, one in Kharkiv, and some in-laws near Lviv. They might not welcome Russians for the invasion itself, yet they blame local authorities for holding them hostage (those in Mariupol and Kharkiv), and those who were able to escape the war told the stories about lack of any civil order in the Western Ukraine. Obviously, none of them is going to wave Ukrainian flag when the war is over.

You also can watch Russia Today (RT) with English captions just for a little while (it won't indoctrinate you), to get some raw footage of what is going on there on the ground.

This is obvious. Russia is clearly a military has been other than nuclear.

I'll files this post under "things that are completely untrue"

My company has an office in Odessa and is paying to get the employees and their families out and to safety. According to them, what you are posting is complete Russian fantasy. Russia is the evil actor here and everyone in Ukraine HATES Russia.

False, I do not support aggression or violence by either country. I hope both countries negotiate soon and end this conflict.

Please stop making accusations that are not true, just speak for yourself on the matter.

Lastly, if you think the media is giving 100% accurate, full truth on the situation then we will just disagree on that.

Russia invaded a weak neighbor under the pretense of geopolitical gain. People are dying for this. That’s all you need to know to determine who the aggressor is
