What he says is that they’re going to retake the Crimea
Against the will of the people living there.
saying that children who have grown up in occupied Crimea have been exposed to Russian propaganda
They are Russian, they have chosen to be Russian. They are only exposed to their culture. They have no interest being part of a Nazi fascist dictatorship and neither do the other breakaway regions.
The International Criminal Court has been issuing arrest warrants for people involved in a Russian program
This is American propaganda. Russia temporarily moved orphans out of a warzone and has since moved them back. The International Colonial Court exists to prosecute the enemies of America and nothing more.
none of this seems like strange thing for a wartime president to say. Overall
If you agree that the Crimean people have a right to self determination then you not only see Zelensky as a wartime president, but an aggressor threatening an invasion too.
For the Azov point, you can just read the Wikipedia article

The blatant hypocrisy I've seen from Anarchists between Ukraine and Gaza has been jaw dropping. Flat condemnation for a people resisting their genocide, their resistance wasn't pure enough. Complete uncritical support for a fascist dictatorship with an ultranationalism rooted in Nazism.
Were all Nazis bad people and to blame for their actions?
Are all oligarchs responsible for their actions?
KKK members?
Sure you can make an argument of some kind of diminished responsibility due to low IQ intelligence, general ignorance etc. But ultimately we're talking about grown adults with the capacity of free will.
Ask yourself what it would take for you to exult in the mass murder of tens of thousands of little girls? What could people tell you to make you behave in this way? I don't think they even think of themselves as blameless because they think of themselves as supreme. They are entitled to cause massive harm due to being better, chosen, Übermensch etc.
It doesn't much matter to the kids who are crying because they've been told that their arms won't grow back, that someone who supports this happening to someone else tomorrow is starting to have doubts and might feel bad in the future.
This trade off of "bad feelings" versus the brutal physical impact of someone's actions is a common feature of settler colonialism in particular. We see it with the "loyalists" in Northern Ireland, with the Americans' about Vietnam (except only in movies), and it pervades Zionist supremacist propaganda today.
To blame, means to be responsible for. Are people responsible for their actions or not?
Russia has been consistent that NATO membership would be a declaration of war by the US/NATO, so it would mean the end of civilisation. It's an absurd idea. As much as Russia forming a military alliance with Cuba and Mexico.
These days twitter is where it's at for keeping up with everything that's censored everywhere else. There's nowhere better for Palestine updates.
I hear tiktok is good too but I'm no longer a teenager.
Similar to the likes of Owen Jones. They focus on the easy issues which they do a really good job with. But as soon as something comes along that threatens to disrupt the status quo then, by their deeds shall you know them.
