Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Russian troops launched a massive missile attack on the Ukrainian Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk
Because it's recognised as an independent country.
so was ukraine, it was part of soviet union during cold war so why is west interfering.
At least Ukraine has it's priority right . So what if it's an existential battle . I can't imagine what would piss Russia off more than this move . I certainly hope this wasn't the comedian doing his stand up . As it is the laughs on him .
Well Paddy & sweetie , if this doesn't inspire you shameless recalcitrants to volunteer to fight in Ukraine at the head of thousands of queens & trans men / women all scantily clad with plenty of sass sashaying away as in your usual pride marches , I don't know what will .
Look at it this way - either you defeat Russia & become a hero or you get badly buggered in the process & become a hero to your community . I can't think of anything that'd please both of you more especially the latter . Either way it's a win win situation.

I invite you to do an exercise on LiveUAMap, which is a very well done site. Explosions are indicated on the map by a different symbol than bombings. When you click on the explosion symbol, a legend appears in a specific window which indicates if it is an ammunition dump which exploded or not. Furthermore, you can choose the date and go back day by day to the beginning of the invasion. By zooming in on the locations of ammunition depot explosions, the map becomes very precise, the railways are indicated and it is clear whether the service is rail or road (presence of railways with branches for loading/unloading or not).
Result: 90% of the explosions of ammunition depots that occurred in the last two weeks concerned depots delivered by train.
It is thus well the rupture of load which was aimed by the Ukrainians => the consequence is thus well to transfer the rupture of load of the train towards the truck further and to stretch the lines of supply. The ammunition will have to be unloaded further away, and transported by a noria of trucks.
As a reminder, this article

The Russian Army Doesn’t Have Enough Trucks To Defeat Ukraine Fast
which indicates that to supply the front at 150Km distance from the railway depots, the Russian army needs 4000 trucks (it is especially the MLRS which saturate the logistics). We can conclude that if we move the depots 50 km away, we will need about 1300 more trucks and associated drivers.
You mean Uyghurs that China imprisons for 6 years for growing a beard? It doesn't so much support them as simply think that they shouldn't be put in concentration camps. And as regards sovereignty, who does China belong to, the CCP or the people of China? The very name of China is a lie, 'People's Republic of China'. It should belong to the people but it belongs to the CCP right now. The mistake you and many others make is treating democracies and dictatorships as equal, they are not. Dictatorships are criminal enterprises, and this war has helped expose the amount of corruption behind the Russian state, generals with yachts instead of equipment.
The CCP is the only obstacle to One China, just as the Socialist Unity* Party of Germany was the only obstacle to German reunification from 1949-1989.
*Note yet another lie in a name, Communist dictatorships are good at that. Democratic People's Republic of Korea is especially good, because it has two lies in one name.

If saboteurs continue to target the trainlines, and artillery targets the trucks then it will make things very problematic for Russia logistically. This is also a major obstacle to the 'full mobilisation' many like @randomradio have discussed. More Russian forces mean more trains, and even more trucks, which they already don't have enough of and continue losing. It will become even more problematic when Ukraine receives its first ATACMS missiles, which will be able to target the train depots from even further away. By pushing the depots back, they will push the weapons back.
What I like about
liveuamap.com
is that it also shows other areas in red outside Ukraine that Russia has stolen previously.

So where is the evidence that the so-called Uyghurs were detained in concentration camps because of their beards? What evidence do you have that deradicalization education is a concentration camp? Just because of the BBC documentary?
So back to Ukraine, if the sovereignty of a country does not belong to the government,
Is it then that it can be said that the land in eastern Ukraine does not belong to the Ukrainian government, but to the ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine? So Russia's military actions are justified?
First of all, whether a government is just or not should be decided by all the people, not by Western countries, let alone be a reason for Western countries to invade other countries.
Secondly, you said that democracy is better than dictatorship, but international law has never stipulated that democracies have a higher status than dictatorships and can trample on the sovereignty of other countries
