They invaded 1.5 years ago and have been waging war, killing civilians, and sending their own population off to die the entire time based on false pretences. Nobody has done a good job explaining what yet another “false pretence” is going to impact in reality.
Like, nobody who wasn’t already swayed by what this invasion is based on and “justified” with is going to be swayed by this. People who haven’t accepted the bull#### to this point aren’t going to suddenly turn the blinders on and completely ignore that Zelenskyy didn’t know the guy was a Nazi.
