Original Note:
Russia isn't the victim of aggression – it is the perpetrator. It has illegally attacked Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine since 2014. The fight against 'Nazism' is a recurring theme of Russian propaganda. The neo-Nazi Wagner and Rusich groups are fighting for Russia. https://snyder.substack.com/p/playing-the-victim https://news.sky.com/story/russian-diplomat-sergei-lavrov-provokes-laughter-with-claim-his-country-is-victim-in-ukraine-war-12825048 https://cyprus.representation.ec.europa.eu/news/twelve-myths-about-russias-war-ukraine-exposed-2023-03-08_en https://natoassociation.ca/a-timeline-of-russian-aggression/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusich_Group https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2023/07/07/the-wagner-group-explained/ https://www.polygraph.info/a/how-russia-played-victim-of-western-aggression-in-ukraine/7407745.html
