According to people on the ground the Banderite Nazis have been attacking civilian locations in the Donbass multiple times a day with artillery and drones since the euromaidan coup
Yeah they were doing that too but I mention the language stuff because it’s literally genocidal and IMO having an official state policy of “derussification” is more damning than mortar fire they can blame on “separatists” or “extremists”
If the extremists are in the legislature saying “you can’t speak Russian anymore, and if you live in these areas we’re taking away your pension” it’s kinda harder for Ukraine to deflect
I see the logic of that. I think I speak of the civilian bombardments because not everyone knows enough about genocide to see the immediate connection between sterile state actions and genocidal violence
