Yes, and the Sudeten Germans loved the Nazi German annexation of the Sudetenland, but it was still a criminal and deplorable act that led to WW2 and innumerable crimes. Ethnic nationalism as an excuse for wars of conquest doesn't really fly any more, we've learned it's a dead end, and that's why Europe cares, especially as Russia is clearly a fascist state at this point! Hope that helps.

> clearly a fascist state I think everyone is very confused with what “fascist” means. Some say not having a gender-neural bathroom is “fascist”. But anyway, it seems you’re very set on not liking someone, so it’s better to leave you alone.

  Russia might not be fascist in the most exact technical political sense, but it's an autocratic government that is currently launching missiles at the civilian infrastructure of another country to directly and indirectly harm civilians. Not sure what else you want? Doesn't matter what any other country has done up to this point, they are doing that right now, not hitting military targets, civilian ones, by choice.

      Ceausescu was an autocrat too but regularly held huge demonstrations for world peace. So not all autocrats are also warlords. Although undeniably an external enemy helps propaganda...

    > Not sure what else you want? This is truly tragic, I feel for civilians. As an EU resident, I want the EU to take actionable steps and achieve peace. Alas, I don’t see it happening. Everything that’s been done only led to escalation. P.S. destroying civilian power infrastructure was one of the first things US-led coalition did in the Gulf War. Yes, it’s horrible for civilians, but you can’t ignore the fact it has a military purpose. Disrupting the energy balancing will have direct consequences for Ukrainian armed forces as they use rail for shipping ammo, weapons and personnel.

  I like Russian people, I work with many here in Germany where many live, in my experience they're much more friendly than the average German that's for sure. But no, I don't like your fascist state, and I can't imagine I would like anyone who would defend Russian imperial conquests.
