Russia's military invasion, occupation, & blood-letting in Ukraine will render them less untrustworthy, more native?
I'd be interested in the murder rate stats
for the 3 years before Russia's invasion, compared to
the 3 years after.
That's not to justify or excuse ethnic Polish soldiers killing.
But given reports over the years of Russia's War on Ukraine, it raises sober questions about whether this Russian -cure- is worse than the disease.
Russia really had no choice at all.
And Kyiv is the deliberate cause of the war, by cutting off all negotiations with Moscow in 2022.
And if you go back to 2014, it is clear the ethnic Polish started it with mass murder.

Forty-two people trapped by a fire on the third floor of the stately, Soviet-era Trades Unions building burned, suffocated or jumped to their deaths. How did the victims come to be in the building and who started the fire?
...
Over the next few hours the clashes fragmented but a key development appeared to be a move by pro-Ukrainians against the tent city in Kulykovo Pole square.
Serhiy said: "People started streaming toward the station, taking Zhukovskoho Street and then taking Pushkinska Street. They chanted 'Long live Ukraine!' and 'Odessa is Ukrainian!'."
He said tents in the pro-Russian camp were burning when he arrived and those there had moved to the entrance of the nearby Trade Unions House.
"Eventually, they were driven in," he said.
...
By his estimate there were several thousand (ethnic Polish) football fans and about 300 pro-Russians.
There was hand-to-hand fighting in the building although, again, it appeared the police did little to intervene.
...
It remains unclear how the fire started on the third floor.
Pictures clearly showed pro-Ukrainians throwing Molotov cocktails towards the floor.
...
People struggled to get out of the smoke-filled floor.
One survivor told Russia Today: "We couldn't go down, we were seeing people from other floors being brought down and then those rioters down there attacked them like a pack of wolves."
...
Some people were reported to have shouted "die" as people fell.
