      You have “answered” one. There were four:

      Has Russia invaded Ukraine?

      Is this a war of aggression?

      Is Russia committing war crimes in this war?

      Should Russia fully retreat from Ukrainian territory according to the international borders of 1994?

        I agree with your judgement.

        Too bad that judgement doesn’t have a plural form. You may be splitting hair, I don’t. As far as I can agree without further context I agree with all four of your statements.

          These aren’t statements but questions. These are answered with either a “yes” or a “no”.

            Don’t pull my leg. Those are not open questions but essentially statements. Can you only take things at face value? Of course not, you are not stupid.

            We also don’t know if our judgement of Russia is rooted in manipulation.

            Well, at least my judgement of Russia is rooted in their own actions, atrocities and crimes they do since 4+ years in Ukraine. It is you trying to manipulate to whitewash them from it.

            Your questions don’t change that the war keeps Russia and the EU at a distance. The interesting question for the EU is if that distance was created intentionally.
