The tyrant whose demands we met were Stalin's

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Well, in fairness, we kept on appeasing the fuhrer. But I would agree Stalin was worse. However, if Germany hadn't invaded them, they wouldn't have been our allies. Once it had happened what choice did Britain have? The tyrant trying to kill you, or the tyrant killing his own people whilst fighting your enemy? Stark choices for Mr Churchill (although appeasement obviously Chamberlain).

No you haven't, you have linked to various "claims"

Navalny Moved to Maximum-Security Prison After Fraud Conviction - [Link]

Jailed opposition figure Alexei Navalny has been transferred to a maximum-security prison after his prison term was extended to nine years, his lawyer said Tuesday.

The Kremlin’s most vocal domestic foe, Navalny had been at a penal colony in the Vladimir region city of Pokrov east of Moscow since February 2021.

His transfer comes in accordance with his March 2022 sentencing to nine years in a maximum-security colony on fraud charges that he and his allies have described as politically motivated and an effort to keep him in prison for life.

Navalny was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison in February 2021 upon returning to Russia after recovering abroad from a near-fatal nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on President Vladimir Putin.

His arrest sparked nationwide protests that were met with a harsh crackdown.

That summer, Russia outlawed his political and activist networks as “extremist” organizations and most of his allies have since fled abroad to escape prosecution.

Navalny said last month that he has been hit with new charges of “extremism” and “inciting hatred” against authorities, which could see him face another 15 years in prison.

Not at all, I'm not the one in denial about war crimes in war, indeed I acknowledge them.

Ultimately, you're not about to reason yourself out of a position you didn't reason yourself into. You have seen far more evidence of Russian war crimes but they are all denied with often ridiculous justification for doing so. 'Shadows' in CCTV footage etc.

"I'm open to the idea that Russians or Separatists attacked civilians but I see neither any direct evidence or a clear motive and I no longer believe anything our media are telling us. "

As good as saying that nothing will reach the threshold, whereas your 'evidence' threshold for Ukranian crimes is any old unsourced twitter video, alt media article, or interview under duress or threat of death. I don't care if you're honest with me, but you can't even be honest with yourself and so it's a pointless conversation anyway. Have a good night.
