sigh This is a perfect example of "I support Ukraine! (don't even bother to learn what it is and never knew)"

yes but why again? It's not like they needed all of this. They have literally tons of all types of fuel & tons of other resources in demand and their population isn't exactly small

So they started a war for a city they already controlled prior to the war? Thats very interesting

There is some ambiguity here that doesn't help in a fruitful conversation: many people say the war started in 2022. I disagree, I think it started in 2014.
