"Let’s say Cuba launched Russian-supplied missiles into Florida, with satellite assistance from Russian reconnaissance aircraft to guide the missiles, killing civilians/children.
What would your response be?.
Because that’s exactly what Ukraine/US did to Russia."

More accurately stated: What if we invaded Cuba and Russia came to its assistance, and Cuba launched a Russian-supplied missile into Florida with the help of reconnaissance from Russian aircraft? I think you'll find you get different answers if that's the only question asked. I don't doubt there's some misconduct happening, but at the end of the day, Russia is the one that invaded Ukraine. Regardless of whether they felt threatened or not, Ukraine is a free country and has the right to choose its alliances.
There is nothing free about Ukraine. They have canceled the last 2 rounds of elections so Suxlensky can keep sucking our debt. Ukraine was killing it's own citizens because they were ethnic Russian. Please please do some of your own research. You will realize that Russia has liberated its "occupied" territories and that free elections in those territories have voted to join Russia.
Look, I don't doubt there's a lot of corruption involving our money going over there. As for doing my research, I lived in Ukraine for three years and I'm married to a Ukrainian, so I think I have more insight than most. Ukraine has been freer and less corrupt under Zelensky compared to previous administrations. Before this government, I could bribe a police officer to avoid a ticket. Now, trying that would land you in jail. Life has improved significantly. Ukrainians were not killing ethnic Russians; that's absurd because people in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus share the same heritage and family. Unfortunately, some here mirror the behavior we often criticize the left for. Zelensky would have ended the war long ago if the West had allowed him to. So, who does that suggest is truly corrupt?
If you have insight, you should know that the (US-EU sponsored) people who came to power after the coup in 2014 never had a chance in hell at grabbing actual power in a free and democratic fashion. This is 100% obvious from just the voting data. The facts are that Ukraine was always deeply divided and no one side could ever grab complete power and nothing ever got done because half the country spent time bickering with the other half while a bunch of oligarchs robbed everyone blind behind the scenes.
And this isn't a new thing. You can read what the first Ukrainian nationalists wrote like 150 years ago and their message was clear: we need a federated government because trying live together on this territory without massive local autonomy is just not going to work. But no one actually wanted that because it would mean giving up wealth and power to locals in each region.
This is the reason for the civil war. The people's representation was stolen by armed thugs taking power, and the armed thugs from the other camp had something to say about it. A story literally centuries old in that region. Either it is controlled by an outside central power or it falls apart into civil war where some warlord or other tries to grab the whole of it and force everyone to live by his standards.
Calling this whole situation a "free country" is completely disingenuous. It's a failed state where half the population couldn't bear to live with the other half until one side decided they had enough money and arms from outside governments to force the other side into submission.
