    This war started more than a decade ago. Russian Federation only became a party some two years ago.

        Do not expect to find facts on Wikipedia when the overall propaganda volume is deafening.

          Generally I found it’s best to not argue with the “wisdom of the crowds” unless you really know the domain, and even then, with care.

          Sorry it doesn’t say what you want.

        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

              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.
