Damming water to Crimea and shelling civilians in Donbas for 8 years is hardly “unprovoked”. It might not be sufficient justification for such a deadly and destructive invasion but it’s certainly provocation.
So Ukraine should now provide water to lands occupied by their enemy? The Russian narrative gets more ridiculous every day!
He got the part with Donbas right though. The Ukrainian army started shelling their own citizens.
Cutting off water to your own citizens because they’re under foreign occupation is certainly a provocative move that will put the legitimacy of your government into question, yes.
Russian propaganda bingo in only one comment. Impressive.
