The Russo-Ukrainian war started with an invasion 12 years ago at the end of next month, not 4.

People go back and forth on this. When they are trying to sound "very smart", they'll insist "well actually, the Russians invaded in 2014!"

But something fundamentally different happened in 2022.

Remember, Zelensky was elected on a platform of negotiating with Russia for the dispossessed territory. That was acceptable 2014 - but certainly not now.

Absolutely right.
