Because of NATO and Nazis? Really? You have 8 million fleeing the country because of Russia's invasion, cities turned into ruins, civilians murdered, raped and tortured.
If Russia was such a good guy in this scenario they would allow for freedom of press and speech. And they'd provide evidence everyone could back up.
No country is perfect, also the document you shared was post Russia's first aggressions to annex Crimea, and you blame Ukraine? I don't doubt Ukrainians have done war crimes as well, it happens when you're at war. But it wouldn't have happened if Russia just let Ukraine alone to develop, it was doing pretty good compared to Russia before all of this.
The joke that is Lavrov accusing the UK of having fabricated evidence of atrocities in Bucha, then blocking any UN resolution that would investigate said atrocities... How much more evidence of guilt and depravity do you need. I agree the Russians are friendly good people, and this is why they need to be liberated from the thugs that run their beautiful country.
"The Foundation for the Study of Democracy is led by Maksim Grigoriev. He is the Chairman of the Coordinating Council for Public Control over Voting at the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation. The organisation started working on discrediting the Ukrainian side in 2013, when pro-Russian president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych refused to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union."
The document they provided is pure Russian propaganda. It doesn't need excusing.
