Ukraine has been shelling the Donbass for 10 years.
And were launching a massive invasion to destroy their resistance
after signing a treaty, over 10 years ago, that they wouldn't do this.

Sooooo, is Russia invading or saving their people?

Putting puppet Zelenski into power was the start of this.

Putin has stated his goals, and i hope he achieves them.
However, i do not know if he will stop after he achieved them.
Because, basically, there will not be much Ukraine left.
So easy to just keep going.

Since Kiev still has lights and internet, i tend to believe what Putin said.
Else, the way to just conquer Ukraine is to bomb all the support structure flat.

The west is already toast.
