alt Hacker NewsThat's the point he's making though - this kind of response just validates Russian propaganda, makes Russia look good and makes Ukraine look bad.
If you want Ukraine to win the information war then this isn't that helpful?
Unless of course you are actually pro-Russian and you're just playing this game at a higher level in which case... congrats because that is effective

I seriously thought this was the case, but looking at the post history, it's probably a question of Hanlon's Razor.
Poster appears to be Ukrainian, and clueless.
Russian trolls feed on these types, unfortunately, and they end up polarized quickly enough.
That's the amplification in these disinformation wars.
Don't waste your time on russian trolls. As soon as you start arguing with them, you lost (your time that is, nobody cares about opinions usually).
But since you seem to care
- there were russian schools even after 2022. No one was closing them the way the troll implies. Anecdotes are not the evidence.
- ask the troll how many Ukrainian schools are in russia, and whether that's a violation if human rights.
- ask the troll, why ruskies burn Ukrainian books on the territories they occupy, while Ukrainians after 2022 merely donate russian books to libraries.
You see, that's how russian trolls operate. They pull a fictional story out of their ass, and "invite for a discussion".
And while you waste your time trying to prove anything, they
- loot your country
- destroy your culture by precisely targeting museums, universities
- murder your people
- r*pe 6 yo kids
Maybe ask the troll what does he think about all that.
I know what he'll answer, so I'm not willing to waste any of my time. I would've responded differently elsewhere, but I want to keep visiting HN under my account.
