    You don’t get to claim territory militarily.

    Lmao what are these playground rules? Do you think there’s an adult to run to, that decides what you “get” to do and what you don’t? Everything is enforced by violence or the threat of it, what “gets” to happen is ultimately a question of who can enforce their will.
    Historically you do actually “get” to take territory that you’ve conquered, it happens all the time.

    The material reality is that these areas are already claimed.

    You’re seriously taking Putin’s justification for the war at face value?

    No. I looked into it and when I saw the many Nazis in Ukraine and the repeated breaches of Minsk II as well as the rampant encroaches by NATO, despite previous agreements, I took it to be somewhat understandable.
    Are you just taking what your media is telling you at face value? Putin isn’t the only one with an agenda, I sure do hope you remain skeptic when the same people that pushed “the ghost of Kiev” stories push other untruths meant to further an already lost war.

    Putin is a self-serving bastard.

    As opposed to all the other leaders that are just uwu smol bean good guys lmao dont-laugh start employing the same level of skepticism against your “own” team, and you might be a little less dumb.

    Ukraine is a sovereign nation and can negotiate peace whenever they want.

    Not according to NATO, that sent Boris Johnson to sabotage negotiations just-a-theory

    Every single state in the world would do exactly the same, including Russia incidentally.

    Except for all the times they didn’t incidentally. Most states aren’t willing to pointlessly murder all their people, most states try to find a solution before war breaks out and then seek a rapid end to said war - See for example the Azerbaijan conflict, or even the border conflict between Imdia and china where they refrain from using firearms. Alternatively Italy in WWII.
    The last state I can think of that threw everybody into a meat grinder for no reason was checks notes Nazi Germany with the volksturm. (And before you go “well the USSR” please recall that the Nazis planned to murder all the slavs with their generalplan ost, so the only choice was to fight)
