Russia has been indiscriminately bombing civilians and civilian and humanitarian infrastructure since day 1 of invasion. There are mountains, and mountains of evidence.

Someone who believes the Kremlin propaganda that Zelensky is a neo-Nazi is not going to be swayed by Reuters. I wouldn't waste my time if I were you.

I'm guessing your American "news" outlets, CNN and MSNBC, are telling you it's important to wave the American flag and bless this war in Ukraine. Zelenskyy isn't a neo-Nazi, but nice diversion. A lot of Ukrainians, and Eastern Europeans in general, are nationalists and even neo-nazis, and for good reason: as a response to the horrors of communism via the soviet union and the American hegemony's exploitation, they can't find much else to agree on. Just like how Donald Trump's MAGA movement gained so much power in response to Democrats & Republicans rape of the middle class and warmongering.
