There is much more going on with the Ukraine / Russia war than what the media here told us. Most people make opinions about it, not even realizing that they aren't informed enough about it to have an opinion.

It is more complicated, many people don't know about the years before and the power struggles between oligarchs, riots, and assassination plots (it's wild to me to just hire someone who has tried to kill you before). The media fails to give the proper context to put the events into perspective. However, Russia still invaded Ukraine without any reasonable justification, and this was an incredibly disingenuous thing to say.

Its not disingenuous, you just said yourself "many people don’t know about the years before and the power struggles between oligarchs, riots, and assassination plots..."

And yes I agree, the media fails to give context. I think that's because they (mainstream news for example) are more interested in getting you to take a side, than they are just giving you the information.

How is saying "Ukraine started the war" not disingenuous?

Sorry, never mind. I misunderstood that part of your previous comment!
