“While Kremlin officials argue that they are “saving” the children by removing them from their homes, international watchdogs have called the forcible removal of Ukrainian kids — including infants as young as four months old — a war crime.”

    Russia did invade the Ukraine, they are killing Ukraine citizens and stealing their children. Russia started this war because Putin thought it would be easy to just take the country. Russia was mistaken. Ukraine, a democracy and has the right to defend itself from the Russian invaders. All facts, and no propaganda.

    Siding with Russia is wrong. Simple.

      All of these are valid points, but you can omit the “the” when talking about Ukraine. “The Ukraine” is quite an archaic expression and has been a major talking point for several years now to just call the country “Ukraine”. There’s a similar problem in Ukrainian and Russian where people are encouraged to adjust their language too.
