You realize these things are true in Ukraine, in some cases more than even in Russia? And Ukraine was doing ethnic cleansing in the civil war for 8 years before Russia invaded, too, so if you want to apply this childish “I support the enemies of countries that do evil things” view instead of materialism, you could just as easily land on the conclusion that supporting Russia against fascist (vibes based definition) Ukraine is correct.
If you did a materialist analysis and try to figure out what the forces at play are, which classes stand to gain from different outcomes, and why the ruling class interest of Western imperialist states are aligned the way they are, you’d probably arrive at a much better conclusion though.
I have tried to do my research and inform myself about the current situation. I am aware Ukraine has its issues, but I have not come across anything that justifies the current conflict. If you have evidence otherwise, i earnestly beg you to share it, and I will consider it as unbiasedly as I can
Here’s a report from CNN showing what the Ukrainian government was doing to ethnic minorities in the east during the civil war, 6 years before Russia invaded.
