Ivan Katchanovski is a political scientist at the Univ. of Ottawa. He writes a lot about Ukraine, far right groups, Maidan & Russia. You might see him in interviews or cited by leftist anti-Ukraine people. He wrote an article last month. I read it and include below some excerpts.

The source
Katchanovski: the Russian invasion was illegal.

p.s. don’t tell anyone we did research or they’ll call us nerds - gay Satanist nazi nerd fart-fetishists who are 60 and live in our mother’s basement with our hot Ukrainian girlfriends
Uh oh. Either he searches for his name every few hours or I’ve got a secret friend. Hello secret friend - I love you!
