The argument literally makes no sense when you account for the years between 2014 and 2022, the Russians did use numerous "less aggressive options" and all it resulted in was 15,000 Russian Ukrainians getting disappeared and a massive military expansion of the Maidan coup regime
I'm still confused on how the 15,000 Russophone Ukrainian civillians dead were caused mostly by the AFU, than the separatists.
If I remember correctly, less than 4,000 dead on the AFU, and less than 6,000, on the seperatist side.
I'm not talking about the war-dead, at least not combat-wise, I'm talking about police action of the Ukrainian state outside of combat, that human right orgs in the west said (all the way back in 2018) resulted in 15,000 disappearances in eastern Ukraine alone

The rest of the outline is ok tho

Edit: Sorry, I just meant 15,000 dead civillians

I'm still wondering how the AFU caused the majority of these deaths, and any such sources on them? Thanks if you can find some.
