> Russia built up its invasion troops months before attempting the invasion

In direct response to an official declaration of military action by Zelensky against legal Russian territory [1]. Sevestapol is a Russian city according to Ukranian law. When Russia did invade, it struck hardest at the neo-Nazi Azov battalion which was massing in Mariupol preparing to invade Sevestapol or outmaneuver a Russian counterattack.

Why do you consistently ignore these crucial facts, but for that they undermine the political narrative you are tirelessly pushing? You write many verbose comments on this matter but clearly don't have a handle on the basic facts beyond the same tired, opinionated talking points we've all heard a million times.

In direct response to an official declaration of military action by Zelensky against legal Russian territory.

It was not "legal Russian territory". The very edict you cite refers to it as "temporarily occupied". (It's also not why Russia invaded, but that's a side matter).

Sevestapol is a Russian city according to Ukranian law.

Also plainly false.
