    The overthrow of a democratically elected president? That is what caused Eastern provinces to go into rebellion. Forcing those Eastern provinces to go back to being ruled by a pronato kyiv is impossible and will just lead to more fighting that will resolve nothing

        Democracy never exists in an active warzone what does that have to do with how the conflict started?

          I’m sure if Russia wins, it will bring its conquered lands to highs of democracy the rest of Russia enjoys… and the citizens will absolutely notice the difference.

            You’re changing the subject away from how the conflict started because you don’t know what your talking about

              Hands up, no my area. I’m not a Ukrainian. I known a few. They tell me Russia attacked their country. As does ever news outlet that I trust. So yer, sorry random person on the internet, I’m going with their narrative over yours.

                  Oh I skimmed it. Russia invaded following Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity, which was a anti-government uprising because the Russian puppet president won’t sign a free trade deal with the EU. Russia claimed it was going in to protect Russian speaking pro-separatists. Only there was a lot of plain clothed Russian military on holiday there and the referendum was not free and fair by and standard above Russian… etc etc.

                  Russia should have left Ukraine alone then and the west shouldn’t have looked the other way when it didn’t.

                    So the majority of voters who voted for the president that was overthrown in Ukraine’s Revolution should just let it happen? Thats democracy?
