Saying that Ukraine provoked Russia because it sought to join NATO is like saying that a victim of long-term abuse is to blame for the most recent attack because she was trying to get a restraining order against her abuser. Those who parrot this are either ignorant or malicious.

it is 1000 days of genocide, but 10 years of the invasion and 500 years of russian colonialism. there will be more dates like these if we keep choosing fear and ignorance in the face of the genocidal empire.
