In Ukraine’s case you’d be asking it to prove a negative. This is not reasonable. Russia has made a complaint and it is up to Russia to demonstrate it. In Russia’s case, whatever evidence they say they have is not justification for invasion of a sovereign neighbour, which has been forbidden by the network of treaties we call international law since 1945 - which take an especially dim view of territorial conquest. Note these are the very same laws that secure otherwise disputed territories in Russia’s far east.
I’m genuinely curious for you to share with us the sources you’ve been reading that have led you to believe Russia has legitimate grievances here. You’re coming off like a pound-shop Solovyov at the moment. It’s weird.
