Yep. America ignored the Minsk accord that Russia signed in good faith that had the backing of the UN. Merkle and Hollande admitted that they only signed it to give Ukraine time to get armed.
Sadly very few Americans know that and believe that Putin just woke up one day and decided to invade Ukraine.
Half a million dead - many forced into combat against their will, in a conflict that could have easily been avoided. It's hard to wrap my brain around it. Maybe the nihilists are right after all: life is just a pile of shit.
A war that is meaningless and a tragedy for the lives lost. A "success" for the Military Industrial Complex. Feeding the US/Nato delusion and greed to diminish and balkanise Russia. Rooted in their fear of Russia and China getting together with the Global South to get away from empire dominance. Fear of a better world.
AND the need to constantly feed the MIC, and in this case, the need of the US fracked gas industry to become profitable by knocking out Russian gas to Europe and replacing it with US exported LNG.
"Sadly very few Americans know that ..." - and the rest don't want to know because it's not within 20 mile radius of their concerns. Those that do know just know. Doesn't mean they care.
I used to follow Sharon McMahon. She made fun of Putin and called him evil. She never talked about the back story. I stopped following her because she has remained neutral on Israel. She's called for waiting until the facts are in and only trusted US media sources for verification. She said she followed Motaz, but her posts never mentioned the horrors he was documenting. I thought she was reasonable. I checked her account recently and she was all filled up for some government event. I got sucked in to her grwm soft politics.

Agreeing with jamenta, Sam & russian_bot.

NO. The planet, the world, life, are still scintillating with beauty. And we may yet manage to rescue it from the sociopathic empire. Don't give up.

That would make a great research paper. The ratio of knowledge over caring. Including ignorant makes the paper less interesting.
Would you guess the knowledge caring ratio is the same for all events that make the lying mass media.
