For me this sounds not too (in relative terms) bad, on Zelensky’s part. I live in the EU and many (possibly all) of our member states are rather bad at handling Neo-nazis (This is actually one of our most pressing issues, but broadly ignored by the public).
failing to control the neo-Nazi paramilitaries in their midst, then allowing those paramilitaries to violate the Minsk agreements
This. The later parts I have read about.
can you hint me to some further reading?
The world is an unfathomably complex thing, even if you leave the people stuff out, and we all have lots of opinions and mostly none of the information.
I do realise that I don’t have a say in the matter and neither should I. The one thing I know for certain is that optaining a truth is on a spectrum between hard and impossible.
Maybe that is what you should do.
Because for some people they do.
edit: In another post you mentioned the breakaway republics, there you have your examples. People who don’t want to live under a certain regime or don’t want to live under theirs anymore. Sometimes fighting is the only option left for people, and sometimes fighting people know they will die fighting.
Have you ever come by the term: wicked problem? Secession movements are a prime example of a wicked problem.
No, as I said in my first answer, there are no generally right or wrong answers. There are people dying because of some vanity project of the rich and powerful. I also hold the opinion, that those shall be prevented at all costs. But if my information on the conflict is correct and this war started as a civil war on the topic of secession, then the question get’s hard to answer almost instantly, and also highly individual.
Even if I would do that I suppose you wouldn’t be happier with the situation. And guess what, neither would I.
And who or what desides if a death is pointless?
And then I read the article and remembered: reality is more complicated then good-bad.
I see the naming being the next difficult topic.

Sorry I only looked at the pictures and did not read the text jet. I will read it on some commute tomorrow. But the pictures are frightening as the recent global rise of fascism is. I’m worried of the times to come.
