The idea of them seeing themselves as liberators is already hilarious. They literally kill the opposition, kill journalists, kill dissidents, and are probably one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. But they need to liberate their neighbors, clearly.
They have bombed Ukrainian citizens and killed many in Mariupol. Said by Ukranians themselves. But somehow that's brushed aside, because the only thing that matters is demonizing Russia.
Dude, Russia launched an invasion on a peaceful country, annexed a large chunk of it in violation of the Budapest agreement which Russia signed, and daily bombs Ukrainian cities.
Leaving out military targets, it is exclusively Ukrainian cities being bombed in this war.
This isn't demonisation, it's just a statement of facts.
This also has nothing to do with the original lie that Ukraine's government is Nazi.
But that's a lie that no one in their right mind can dismiss as such. Even if the chance is ridiculously minute, no one wants to be the one to push Russia into nuclear warfare. You don't really need to lie or say the truth when you've got the ultimate deterrent.
Sure we can dismiss, because you cannot make policy based on the idea of "what if the person I am dealing with wants to get nuked". They can throw those things at any moment, even now, so its not at all a factor even worth considering.

All she knew was war. That’s so tragic.
