    With the time you took to comment you could have looked it up yourself, and then with a bit more time you could have posted the sources here. You’re consciously choosing to not be informed, and to do nothing yourself and expect random people to do work for you.

      Researching “20” is hard. Israel certainly likes to claim that other side breaks ceasefires. There is usually an opposing narrative.

      It’s OP’s responsibility to give sources on the issue. Don’t shoot the messenger.

      And you could have done the same and posted it for the rest of us instead of wagging your finger.

      Number of ceasefires: https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-gave-trump-list-of-all-ceasefires-violated-by-russia/

      Number of talks: https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/3784793-kuleba-ukraine-held-200-rounds-of-talks-with-russia-since-2014-but-that-did-not-stop-putin.html

      The source for the meme appears to be a tweet from the Ukraine foreign minister. Zelensky has quoted similar numbers. These numbers are coming out of Ukrainian officials’ mouths and not 3rd party journalists and it’s not at all clear on how they’re counting since I can’t find easily any other sources.

      Side note: with how bad Google is nowadays, people should never chide anyone else for being unable to locate a source themselves again.

        “Russia violated all of the ceasefires and talks since 2014, but it is really important that the exact number is verified by 3rd parties.”

        You dismissing the overall point by focusing on the absolute least important detail. If the number of talks and ceasefires is greater then zero and Russia has violated all of them, then why does it matter if there were two dozen or two hundred?

          Because details fucking matter, that’s why? It matters even if the side I’m on is the one potentially exaggerating. Don’t you care to know that? Or do the facts not matter to you anymore?

            Because when someone starts arguing that there were 33 violations and not 35 or something along those lines I know they are just trying to derail the discussion away from the point that matters: Russia has consistently violated ceasefires and that is why security guarantees are needed.

              That’s an assumption that it differs by only a few from the truth. What if it’s off by a factor of 2? 5? You and I do not know.

              I want to believe the Ukrainians here because it would be confirmation bias. But it would be better to have reliable numbers from an unbiased sources.

                You are holding a victim of violent aggression to a high standard instead of just acknowledging that their point is right whether or not they described everything in minute detail perfectly accurately.

      We’re talking about major recent history from 2014. Unless they’re 12, they don’t really have an excuse to be this ill informed for an entire decade. The time it took to comment is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of their time spent in willful ignorance.
