The West gave (and continues to give) Putin money in exchange for his oil and gas, which allowed him to arrange Georgia 2008, Crimea 2014 and completely destroy the opposition in Russia with this money. The West completely ignored all of this (when compared with the current sanctions). And now the West has decided that only the Russians are to blame for this, and it is Russians civilians alone who must fight Putin and his forces, created with the West money, even after the destruction of the opposition. But the West is completely innocent. OK.
