Y'know I wasn't really buying the nazi stuff. I fully believed this was Ukraine as a proxy for Russian intent to self defence and security. Figured the nazi stuff was just excuses, and rather poor excuses to boot.

The former deputy prosecutor of Ukraine, live on BBC, saying he's upset because "European people with blonde hair and blue eyes being killed every day by Putin's missiles..."
What? Seriously? You actually went on tv and specified blonde hair and blue eyes? Ok now I'm leaning towards believing Putin entirely, which is a long looooooooong way away from where I was leaning.
It would still be no excuse to kill civilians.
It is not just to kill someone with the only reason being their beliefs, how twisted they might (or not) be.
