Pretty sure it’s not "emotive" to think that Russia shouldn’t invade another country, then commit war crimes…
"Self determination" - invading a Region with Russian troops, mercenaries, and apparatchiks doesn’t come under any definition* of "self determination" I can find…
*my bad - it comes under the "Russian excuse for invading" definition

As if to prove my point thanks for demonstrating your inability to view the dispute through anything other than a western lens. The straw man of a Russian invasion - something I offered no opinion on at all - used to excuse Ukraine from any responsibility to its own international obligations. Thus further entrenching both sides.
