Sweden has formally joined NATO as the 32nd member of the transatlantic military alliance, ending decades of post-World War II neutrality and centuries of broader non-alignment.
You can’t claim to be the victim when you are the aggressor, even if that aggression is under force.
All those troops could just … not invade a sovereign nation. They could have a civil war instead of pushing their problems on their neighbouring countries. An equal amount of people would die, but not the ones that have nothing to do with it.
It sounds like you where never forcefully conscripted in a war. Difference is that they can hurt your family, this way you die in a war either way.
If you are forced to kill, under threat of death or your family getting hurt, you are clearly a victim.
Furthermore Russian people aren’t just ones that are still fighting in war, they are also their wifes and childeren that are losing their husbands and fathers. They are also Russians that surrended to Ukrainain rather then fight, not everyone can do that safely without their commenders stopping them or without Ukrainian troops killing them by mistake. They are also Russian people that killed their conscription officers. There are a lot of good russian people, some died as heroes fighting their governments. Some died as victims of the war on the battlefield not willing to shoot back at Ukrainan soliders, some just fought because they had to and died in the process. There are bad people everywhere, but there are good people too. Claiming all russians are bad is just racism.
Most of the casulties are russian troops, are they not? They don’t join volonterily you know, they are forcefully conscripted.

Tell that to those raped and mutilated by those fucking victims of yours.
Oh wait, you outright dismissed their existence in order to… <checks notes>… not be racist.
