I think that would be not only appropriate but also helpful to frame Ukraine as “defending their land” instead of “being at war”. So why dont politicians and journalists primarily use this word?

    For the same reason the media bastards avoid it for Israel, they get money from questionable people and click bait that only works with rage and appealing to the braindead morons that read the shit.

        Yeah… Ukraine is also entering “Russia’s” territory and “abuses” “civilians” by killing Russian soldiers.

          Soldiers are not civilians, and Russian state media are the only ones who report that Ukrainians have invaded the Russian border. Try again
