I will tell you what started the war.
Ukraine was given it's independence by Boris Yeltsin in August 1991. This was a legally binding agreement. Ukraine is a democratic, independent & sovereign country, BY LAW.
Ukraine's economy was growing and had an ever increasing GDP. Ukraine wanted to join the EU and NATO.
Putin wasn't happy about this, he felt he was becoming weaker and losing his sphere of influence. Putin also complained about NATO expansion. This was complete and utter BS, because at the time, ONLY 6% of Russia's borders were neighbouring NATO countries. Yes, ONLY 6%!
Ukraine had every right, to choose it's direction of 'travel', it's an independent, democratic & sovereign country.
Way back in 1954, the then Soviet Union requested to join NATO! Can you believe the hypocrisy of this country! π€ππ€£ππ€£
'What caused the conflict? Foreign backed coup in Ukraine'
Russia annexed Crimea after a highly-disputed referendum. In April 2014, armed pro-Russian separatists seized government buildings in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region and proclaimed the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) as independent states, starting the Donbas war.
