It’s true that western media likes to blame all problems in Ukraine on Russia, but even these articles don’t deny the targeted violence that Ukraine has enacted on its own citizens. The first one mentions how Ukraine’s puppet government immediately rescinded the status of Russian as an official language and the second one mentions how Nazis have taken so much power over Ukraine’s new government that many Ukrainians welcome Russian military intervention. Of course, these articles don’t dwell on these facts because western media has no incentive to.

Since the coup in 2014, thousands of eastern Ukrainians have died at the hands of their fascist government. One particularly egregious example of this terrorism was when dozens of eastern Ukrainian protesters were round up into a building then burned alive.
