The never-ending call for negotiations.
There are still people speaking about "negotiations" as if Russian leaders showed any signs of compromise in their path of cultural genocide, deportations, annexations, and subjugation of Ukraine

2014?
One could think that we did our homework after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but no, Russian narratives about Maidan, Crimea, and Donbas are still widespread, and we failed to educate people. It's easy for Russian propaganda to create confusion about the past...

Demonization of Ukraine succeeded
It is not only about 'bothsidesism'; in many cases, people seem to completely blame Ukraine and/or the West for the war. The lack of education about Ukraine collides with the huge amount of Russian narratives, which we find everywhere
