A couple points:

Ukraine is not doing well even with the combined weight of NATO behind them, despite what cope you might have read on reddit-logo

Even if Russia did suddenly pack it up and leave, there would be an immediate attempted cleansing of ethnic Russians or presumed Russian "collaborators" (anyone they don't like).

If there was an ethnic cleansing attempt of any kind, I would promote the greatest of sanctions against them. I dislike bullies.

This is an example of you justifying Russia's actions.

Ooh sanctions yeah. As we've seen those are highly effective. Jesus, the lib brain is terminal isn't it?

There was an ethnic cleansing attempt going on prior to the Russuan invasion. The Azov battalion was shelling ethnic Russians (who make up the majority of people in the Dnbas and Eastern Ukraine)in the Donbas for the last 8 years.

The city of Kyiv just banned the Russian language

So if the Ukrainians were shown to be persecuting jews, roma, russian-ukrainians or commies you'd be against Ukraine?
Well have I got some news for you
