    Russia is neither fascist nor it is invading.

    Russia is both these things. Ask Russians involved in political activities and they will tell you all about it. Repression against antifascist/anarchist/queer movements has been strong across the Russian empire this past decade.

    Also, how can you say it’s not invading foreign territories? You can spit out State propaganda all you like to justify the invasion, but it’s materially impossible to deny there’s a military invasion going on.

    But if that were the case, “doing a thing” must mean something different that sending your own people to die.

    I entirely agree, i’m certainly not in favor of a NATO military intervention. I am though certainly in favor of arming peoples militias and revolutionary movements across the planet, which of course is not aligned with NATO/Russian interests.

    You do not care about Ukrainians, you are anti-Russia.

    You know nothing about me and yet you judge. For almost twenty years now i’ve been involved in various refugee solidarity networks across western Europe. This includes political organizing with people coming from all regions of the Russian Empire who all are “anti-Russia” as you say (just like i’m anti-France). So i do care about the people whether from Ukraine or Russia or anywhere else. But as much as my anarchist side shouts “BURN ALL STATES AND BORDERS” my anti-colonial stance makes me support ukrainian resistance against the invasion. Just like as much as i am critical of Venezuelan government, i can only stand in support of them against US neocolonial policies.
