    I’m not sure you understood my comment, or maybe I’m not understanding yours.

    Can’t blame Ukraine for trying everything in its power to stop the warmongers.

    From where I stand, it seems they are more than happy to themselves be warmongers (that is, prolong the war), as long as they think they can win (or can convince those supporting them that they can win). But that’s not the topic of that comment.

    Russia was likely not responsible for flooding cities via the destruction of the dam. Considering how recent it is nobody can be certain, but things point not towards Russia but towards Ukraine.

    I brought up the USA/Ukraine destruction of the Nordstream pipeline as evidence that they are perfectly willing to do this exact thing and lie about it[1].

    Here’s a quick overview and a more in-depth look at why it seems unlikely that it wasn’t Ukraine’s doing.

      Also obligatory reminder that they admitted they have plans to blow up the dam and were attacking it with missiles in the past

      It’s not even the first time UA blown up their own dam (among other things):

      Not to mention it was strategically important target for Russia. Combined with what you linked, anyone still blaming Russia have to have serious problems with their cognitive ability.

      Or be openly a side in the conflict, like the European Parliament.
