Also, even if it wasnt a war of extermination:

Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for protection. Do you think anyone else is going to be dumb enough to do that in the future?

I am pro-Ukrainian in this conflict, but this is untrue. Point to the specific wording in the accord that supports what you're saying, if you can.

I've never read it directly, just seen this referenced, but I remember seeing something about it in a textbook (or something? That kind of paper), and an anti nuclear friend of the family holding Ukraine up as an example back in like the 90s.
