To help you, here's for example the last months of 2021, when Russia was preparing for the full scale war over the lies that you just repeated:
December 2021
From 1 to 31 December 2021, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded six civilian casualties: one killed (a woman) and five injured (all men). One man was injured by light weapons fire in territory controlled by the self-proclaimed ‘Donetsk people’s republic’, one man was injured by an anti-personnel mine in Government-controlled part of Donetsk region, one woman was killed and two men were injured as a result of ERW handling in Government-controlled part of Donetsk region, and one man was injured as a result of ERW handling in territory controlled by the self-proclaimed ‘Luhansk people’s republic’.
November 2021
From 1 to 30 November 2021, OHCHR recorded four civilian casualties (all injured): two men and two women. All of them were caused by active hostilities (shelling and SALW fire): one in territory controlled by the self-proclaimed ‘Donetsk people’s republic’, one in territory controlled by the self-proclaimed ‘Luhansk people’s republic’, one in Government-controlled part of Donetsk region, and one in Government-controlled part of Luhansk region.
Total civilian casualties in 2021
The total number of civilian casualties recorded by OHCHR in 2021 has totaled 110: 25 killed (16 men, two women, three boys, one girl and three adults whose sex is not yet known) and 85 injured (56 men, 21 women, six boys and two girls), a 26.2 per cent decrease compared with 2020 (149: 26 killed and 123 injured), and the lowest annual civilian casualties for the entire conflict period.
Lying liars will never stop lying. Plus, more than 80% of people are sub-intelligent, so it's hard to know if they're defending jewish attacks on Russia because they're jews, or if it's just because they're so stupid.
Then I actually reopened https://www.osce.org/special-monitoring-mission-to-ukraine/512092 and I'm really confused what did you want me to prove with the exchanges of fire with Russia's forces already in Ukraine, who were originally scheduled to attack just days later on 16 but then delayed to 24.
And just whatever did you think it had to do with "repeatedly shelling civilian targets for years". Because there was nothing to do with any civilians.
The Mission monitored the operation and repair of critical civilian infrastructure.
The SMM continued to follow up on the situation for civilians, including at entry-exit checkpoints and corresponding checkpoints of the armed formations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Or maybe did you actually mean this? Very strange.
You can count all the civilians killed by any sort of active hostilities in the entire 2021 on your hands (if not just 1 hand) and that's all those killed on both sides and by both sides. Similar for 2020, 2019, 2018, and each of these years it was significantly fewer and fewer since the would-be final ceasefire had began back in February 2015. (Which was after several thousand died, in less than 1 year and not any "years".) And 2017 and 2016 and even 2015 too for that matter, each year less and less of any sort of conflict since 2014.
By 2021, when Putin decided to attack, practically all was happening was soldiers on both sides occasionally sniping each other in their respective trenches. Including Putin's very own FSB snipers: https://twitter.com/ralee85/status/1258711127166509058
Clicked the very first one and instantly saw "2022", after which I closed the tab. Maybe you got confused somehow, but I asked regarding your claims of "repeatedly shelling civilian targets for years [sic]" during all these years between 2018 and 2022. The Russian preparation for the invasion began full scale in 2021 (the Zapad "exercises" that didn't end), when I've been following it live.
So...I show you several days of the Ukrainian forces shelling civilian targets prior to the 24th of February (the date of the Russian invasion)...and you just ignore it because it happened in 2022?
Are you saying that Russia opened fire on the Ukrainians before February 24th? Show me the evidence of that if so.
No, you didn't. I clicked the first link, which was about incidents between soldiers (and in one case Russian forces firing on an UAV of the ceasefire observers and also jamming them) and nothing about any "Ukrainian forces shelling civilian targets" whatsoever. Should I click the second one? Or was it in the third? Each one(s), exactly?
Russia first opened fire in March of 2014, which is also when they killed the first Ukrainian soldier (naval officer taken prisoner and then murdered in Crimea with gunshot wounds) and the first civilians too (multiple Tatar activists disappeared and later found dead or not found at all). Then beginning in April of 2014 they killed thousands of Ukrainians in the east of the country before February 2022, but almost all of them also before March 2015.
They also killed three hundred of mostly Dutch foreign civilians. In just one day.
Less than 1,000 people (almost all of them soldiers) on both sides died 2016-2022. That's 6 full years, with usually just no one at all dying on any given day, and every year it was less than in the year prior.
Since February 24 the same hundreds of people is a daily death toll, every single day, and with a whole lot more civilians between them. Many of whom are being deliberately murdered.
Actually just the first link is all I need. Just show me which one of these paragraphs did you so creatively and also very specifically interpret as "several days of Ukrainian forces shelling civilian targets":
In Donetsk region, between the evenings of 11 and 13 February, the Mission recorded 261 ceasefire violations, including 50 explosions. In the previous reporting period, it recorded 114 ceasefire violations in the region.
In Luhansk region, between the evenings of 11 and 13 February, the SMM recorded 114 ceasefire violations, including 24 explosions. In the previous reporting period, it recorded 258 ceasefire violations in the region.
Small-arms fire was assessed as directed at an SMM mini-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in non-government-controlled Kalmiuske, Donetsk region.*
The Mission continued monitoring the disengagement areas near Stanytsia Luhanska, Zolote and Petrivske.
The SMM monitored the operation and repair of critical civilian infrastructure.
The Mission continued following up on the situation of civilians, including at five entry-exit checkpoints and four corresponding checkpoints of the armed formations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The SMM monitored the security situation in east and south-east Kherson region.
The Mission’s freedom of movement continued to be restricted, including at a checkpoint of the armed formations near Kreminets in Luhansk region. Its UAVs again encountered instances of GPS signal interference, assessed as caused by probable jamming and jamming.*
It's the many videos of various military parades held by Russian forces in Donetsk city over all these years.
It's military parades, but also attended by crowds of specifically pro-Russia civilians - and even by all the "separatist" leaders (military and otherwise). You seem to think they would surely go and shell then, right?
Or, for example, the funerals of slain Russian commanders, practically also military parades and with lots of civs and they do want to hit the civs, you apparently think so.
Well, you see, Ukrainian forces have held the suburbs like Piski and Avdiivka a few kilometers away (Piski especially just across Donetsk Airport), all that time. In fact, they still do!
Now ask yourself the following questions:
Can you even imagine a more juicy target than that if someone wanted to hit just any remotely civilian target on purpose?
Why are they never being shelled?
Why are they not at all even afraid of being shelled (or otherwise attacked, like hit with a ballistic missile)?
Why none of the buildings ever bear any damage from shelling on any other date?
If you need a visual reference, this is how a city in Ukraine looks like after just few weeks (not "years") of shelling: https://youtu.be/MDVLmOVDaOY
Then go and call whoever have lied to you so much a niggerfaggot, which they are.

I say you should stop listening to whoever lied to you, and perhaps tell them they're faggots.

I suppose these events never happened then according to you? There are several more reports just like these in the days leading up to the invasion.

And hey, you know what? I thought of something to show you in a very easy way.
Look at just any video here: https://youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=Donetsk+military+parade
It's the many videos of various military parades held by Russian forces in Donetsk city over all these years.
It's military parades, but also attended by crowds of specifically pro-Russia civilians - and even by all the "separatist" leaders (military and otherwise). You seem to think they would surely go and shell then, right?
