      I know. But you need to answer the question of Donetsk and Luhansk. Do you want everyone there to die? This was didn’t start in march it start 8 years ago when the 2014 coup happened. The people of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk were already very very concerned about the potential to be ethnically persecuted because it had been rising for many decades already in the west with targeted attacks on ethnically russian (ukrainian citizens) and so on. Bans on using russian language in restaurant menus were implemented and finally when the bans on using russian language in schools and government services were implemented the people of these regions were tipped over the edge into secessionism. That is when the civil war of Ukraine began, a war between Ukrainian nationals that were ethnically russian and felt they were no longer safe as part of Ukraine and the Ukrainian government.

      That war raged for 8 years before Russia stepped in. And it will not magically go away if Russia leaves. What do you suggest doing? Letting Ukraine kill them all?
