you will note it does not specify the alleged murder and torture of the Russian minority in Ukraine either. Who are you to say what chessprimus meant by the vague term "problems"?
Both assertions are part of Kremlin propaganda about "problems in Ukraine concerning the Russian minorities" and part of Putin's attempt to paint his illegal war of aggression as even remotely justified. An attempt to construct a casus belli where there is none.
There is absolutely no evidence supporting the alleged scale of these events purported by the Kremlin's propaganda which speaks of "genocide" but cannot supply any evidence to support that accusation. It can therefore easily be recognised that the Kremlin is utilizing the "Big lie" propaganda technique here. You choose instead to uncritically repeat Putin's propaganda.
I focused on Kremlin propaganda claims alleging that the Russian language was being outlawed in Ukraine instead. Why not? No specific claim had been brought up, so I picked one. It's an apt thing to talk about in this context. You just seem to be mad that you cannot disprove my point at all. Too bad.
I picked the main reasons that Russia went to war; you picked a subsidiary issue. you are ducking the main issues--the history if Ukrainian aggression against the Russia population in eastern Ukraine is well known. I've given you a couple of sources explaining the context of why this happened. that is evidence. watch the interviews.
if you acquaint yourself with the history, you will understand why the term Russian security concerns is not vague at all, it has been explained at length by Putin and other Russian leaders, and their explanations have been supported with evidence by credible experts like Stephen Cohen. You will also discover, assuming you want to look, why the last aggressive move by the US/NATO triggered the Russian response it got. Here is more evidence, a lecture by John Mearsheimer.

The reason I keep bringing up the Iraq War, a genocide and war crime that the US has never been prosecuted for if only because it refuses to sign the treaty joining the UN criminal court, is because some of the same war criminals that lied us into that war lied us into this one. i can find cites for that assertion too.
