Really charged topic here lol. Your view is not very popular. I personally take no sides. The fact of the matter is, NATO has entrapped Russia into what will probably be a very long war with fascist insurgents, very much like Syria vs ISIS and "moderate rebels, lol" ,and the USA vs Mujahadeen, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
All of these groups have been at one time, or are tools of the "Five Eyes." (I was going to say the CIA, but who am I kidding, we're talking about the Western Empire here.) The Azov Special Operations detachment and their ilk along with western fighters they are inviting from all over the world will be able to stage and resupply in surrounding NATO countries and then fight in Ukraine.
Insurgent groups able to hop in and out of country and get support like this can fight forever per the CIA as we have learned in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ukraine will be a warzone for another 20 years or longer, and Russia took the bait. The only ones who will suffer are the Ukrainian and Russian people, neither of whom want this war.
This would be so if Russia began to fight only in the southeast. But Russia launched the operation earlier and struck all over Ukraine. Russia is much stronger than Syria and quickly dealt with these bandits. As far as I know, at the moment the main forces of the Nazis have already been defeated. They simply do not have enough people to wage a protracted war. Russia completely controls the sky. Now Russia is acting cautiously to save the lives of the civilian population.
