Nothing of what you are about to read has been made up. These are actual talking-points by russian media-pundits.
You see, Russia is not fighting a war in Ukraine.
What?
You think it's a "special military operation"?
Why would you think that?
You see, what's actually happening in Ukraine is that two sides are fighting each other in a civil war and Russia is merely supporting one side over the other.
Which two sides are fighting each other in this Ukrainian civil war? Well, on one side there's the Russians in Donbas and Luhansk. And on the other side are the Anti-Russians.
The Anti-Russians are the Ukrainians, except that Ukrainians don't exist as an ethnicity and are actually Russians.
So, the ukrainian civil war is pro-russian Russians against anti-russian Russians. And the pro-russian Russians are fighting for their motherland in Donbas and Luhansk, whereas the anti-russian Russians have no motherland to fight for.
Also, these anti-russian Russians have been brainwashed by Nazis into fighting against the pro-russian Russians and that's why all ukrainian prisoners of war should be executed and killed on the spot.
