Last point is atrocious.

War crimes are war crimes no matter what, regardless of what army they come from. Aggressor or not.

There are young boys in the Russian army who have called the surrender hotline as their only escape from that despotic, absurd military structure.

When the war started, there were thousands in Moscow and St. Petersburg who openly protested against the war, and suffered beatings and imprisonment because of it. Are they also guilty of Putin's personal endeavors because of their nationality?

Russophobia broadly plastered over everything is not going to aid in changing Russia. Not everything is as black and white as you insist on making it. That state is held hostage by its regime, and if the popular rhetoric is any indication of how diplomats are going to pursue negotiations, then there will simply be another Ukraine Crisis in 10, 20, 30 years...

Good motive, bad execution here.
