It depends on your ideology. If you believe in international law, sovereignty and self-determination of peoples, as I do, you will have a different truth than if you believe in dominionism, might makes right, panslavism and historical revisionism as the majority of the Russian population does.
That's exactly my point, your truth is a reflection of your world view and your ideology.
It is silly to assume one's truth as universal and doing so kills all nuance.
