I know it is terribly off-topic and i am not defending this war. But in Donbass there was an eight year long war, and Human Rights Watch accused the non-Russian side of using cluster bombs etc. against Russians in 2015 plus. There were ~14000 death human beings on both sides in the last eight years, and the one and only Russian point in the Minsk protocol, asking the population of Donbass in a democratic vote on which side of the border they want to live, was never fullfilled, not even to an extent. We are talking about three million people here. And even though all (non-Ukraine) parties tried to get that done, including to a large extend Germany and the by then minister of foreign state and now president Steinmeier. I really wish anyone would talk about the ~1.3 million death human beings in Irak, Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as the millions of people starving in Yemen due to western supported warfare. ~1.3 Million, and Germany was involved! By Jove!!! Thank you.
