Why exactly should we support Russia and oppose Ukraine? (asking in good faith) (lemmygrad.ml)

Also, what is the evidence that the War in Donbass was an act of genocide on the part of Ukraine, and that Ukraine had provoked Russia? Once again, I am asking in good faith, I am merely looking for the truth.

I mean, I don't think the war in Donbas was "genocide" by most common definitions. It was the reckless slaughter of a minority group, and that's borne out just by looking at the magnitude of civilian casualties. imo the argument for invading on behalf of the breakaway regions is not that those regions were being subjected to genocide, but that they should be entitled to self determination in response to ongoing cultural repression, and if Ukraine is going to try to then surpress them militarily, Ukraine should be suppressed militarily (while trying to negotiate for peace, of course).
