Quincy Institute is not tied to Russia and condemns the invasion

You're welcome to find a piece of their writing where they unequivocally support Ukraine without ifs, buts, and NATO-didits.

In their own words:

> We categorically condemn Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, and support U.S. assistance for Ukraine’s self-defense.

Also, having nuance and historical context does not mean they are "pro-Russia". We should be celebrating institutions that challenge propaganda narratives with context not hunting down anyone that doesn't fall in line with a narrative that requires you to believe history started last year

> Russian concessions would permit the establishment of a secure, sovereign, Western–aligned Ukrainian state on approximately 80 percent of its pre-2014 territory.

Saying we categorically condemn is not a position. Saying Russia is entitled to 20% of Ukraine's pre-2022 territory is a position.
