Just a few days before the invasion, the LPR was shelled so heavily and threatened to such an extent that the population was told to evacuate - A population that is primarily russian. https://archive.ph/YFDL5 Longer report describing breaches of Minsk I and II. The breaches are generally carried out by far right ukrainian militias, for the purpose of scaring away ethnic russians - A form of ethnic cleansing.
Yes. State media often has better access to public figures, like this one which cites the president of the Republic. I could also waste my time looking an article by the very unbiased BBC or AP or Reuters paraphrasing this one, but personally I prefer getting as close as possible to first hand sources. I also prefer to remain critical of all media, and read articles critically instead of short-circuiting my brain to “is this on list of media my bourgeois government approved for me?”
Having done that its pretty clear - which one can corrobate if they wish - that the president of the Republic urged its citizens to evavuate to Russia due to the increasingly aggressive attacks by Ukrainian artillery on civilians.
I then gave you a report that supported his claims. Sorry I dared to use state affiliated media in order to quote a state official on actions taken by the state. I’ll do better next time and look for something written in a newspaper owned by a proper american oligarch or one with a track record about lying properly to further American foreign interests
Hey buddy, how about responding to the rest of what I wrote? Or are you just going to retreat to your grotto, dismayed that you were given something that challenged your conventions?
they do this all the time, ignore all the overwhelming evidence and only focus on one thing that looks like they can dismantle. Not in name of a legit argument but because of an intense chauvinistic and reactionary impulse to defend their worldview.
The silent downvote is probably the most pathetic part. I got a comment removed for being “uncivil” - The comment was me pointing out someone was dodging the question, literally just “answer the question”. Its such a deep part of a part of these peoples character, that challenging it is seen as rude, apparently.
