Right, and this justifies the continued bombing of civilian areas. But as you say, hey, that's just how it goes.
Yes, seizing government buildings, declaring yourself a sovereign entity, and declaring war against the state you just did that all in justifies a military response. This may surprise some americans, given our own recent experience. OFC, that's all moot now, as russia gave up even the pretense of any popular uprising of independent states.
There is no ukraine, no such thing as a ukranian, let alone ukranian history or language or culture. Only russia forever...and, apparently, forever getting smaller waging a war against itself.
