This is madness! The freedom of press may end up as a pay to play.
Hold on. You get prosecuted in Germany when speaking positively about the war. This never existed when America bombed the shit out of dozens of countries.

Remember, all wars without UN mandate and hence illegal wars according to the UN.

Google should have stopped business in Russia like many other western companies. They are not doing this because they hope to make money. It is a bad decision because ultimately they won't be able to juggle Russian requirements and will end either following them (they already asked their Russian translators to avoid word "war" and instead say "military operation") or paying big fines.

Is it worth it to support this evil?

I think you are engaging in whataboutism and should not be taken seriously.
not sure what point you think you're making- could you be more explicit?
I'm a little confused, I've been supporting Ukraine army and our country sent millions euros in military equipment that we citizens contribute to. But the Reuters article mentions the Ukrainian president sacking of SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) chief Ivan Bakanov, "a childhood friend of Zelenskiy", and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova, "who has played a *key role in the prosecution of Russian war crimes*, were announced in executive orders on the president's website."

If those top prosecutors of Russia crimes are fired by their own Ukrainian president, who is lying then? (or what's the deal, I don't understand).

From February to July, I've seen zero neutral news in Europe or the US: every news has to be "Ukrainians said that Russian missile strikes civil supermarket", etc. and Western officials approving this and imposing sanctions on Russia.

In the previous months some videos were found on Ukrainian Telegrams: (no graphic, Ukrainian personel ligote and tie Ukrainians civils) https://youtu.be/weB42JWVUGA https://youtu.be/g0Bwtvz5X8o

In the Bucha massacre, civils are punished with the same methods, it seems: plastic restraints(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Executed...)

I'm not in favor of Russia, Chechen mercenaries and far right Russians don't contribute to peace.

Maybe because in the west it’s major news when Russia tries to level Ukrainian shopping centres and other civilian infrastructure with weapons that there initially designed to take out American aircraft carriers?.

It’s hard to have ‘neutral’ news on this topic because both sources are obviously biased the difference is Russia lies nearly constantly about certain things.

I thought they were no longer monetizing anything in Russia? I am glad they're still letting Russians upload videos, I follow a couple channels to see what things are like there
