RE:1Student Question Regarding UkraineWhen we speak of "war", we understand that "war" is fought with battles won and lost on may fronts; and we certainly understand that clearly innocent peoples are invariably made to pay for the actions and/or specific inactions invariably attributable to various made to be "interested parties", i.e.VIPs supporting all combatants to the engineered and long ago incessantly developed conflict.
You are correctly misunderstanding, i.e. your conclusion is wholly indicative of you having been successfully indoctrinated by and on behalf of those long positioned "marionettes" being utilized in the concerted global leveraging of a merely more recent "weaponization of social media" and all other traditional forms of media argaiv.
According to "Marionettes Masters",i.e. parties currently controlling the various concertedly acting western world media apparatus operators, this "special military operation" being conducted by Russians on behalf of mother Russia is, according to such U.S lead NATO manipulating propagandists, supposedly not working out too well for Russia.
Just keep watching CNN and all such intentionally formulated, clearly scripted, incessantly directed and 24/7 broadcasted - i.e. globally broadcasted like a specific mental incapacitating virus containing "solution" - social media and traditional media propagandist leveraged programs Argaiv.
This "conflict" amongst Russia and it's always well recognized 'enemies' hasn't ever ended and will never end - and never is a long time.
