Thread: we have seen a phrase in some international media reports like: "Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists are preparing for war". This is misleading. Ukraine was never preparing an offensive on occupied Donbas and Crimea. It's crazy to attack proxies of a nuclear power. 1/4
all these 8 years there was no noticeable discussion in Ukrainian society / media about "military solution" of Donbas / Crimea problem. There can be emotions about this but not real arguments. Defense yes, offensive no. 2/4
Even now, having 200,000 Russian troops on Ukraine's border, we don't see any comparable concentration on Ukraine's side. It would be insane to think that Ukraine is preparing an offensive under these circumstances 3/4
Conclusion: we have to avoid any language of symmetry between Ukraine and Russia and always remember who's the aggressor. 4/4
