After the illegal coup in 2014 the coup regime sent troops to the east (and wanted to do that to crimea, too), where people were against that coup, to surpress it via military violence.
The first soldiers did not follow the command - and partly even switched sides to protect their own people - so the next step was recruiting Neonazis to do the same. This worked in a way that those got less of a prob to kill other people, but since they were dumb and sucked at warfare, they were mainly good at killing civilians by bombarding towns and cities. They often failed by being ignorant and arrogant, walking into traps, getting surrounded = fucked, that's how the whole thing came to the stop we still had until few days ago.
Later there was a treaty, called "Minsk 2", that should solve the whole problem via dialog and all, but the (US/west supported) coup regime gave a fuck to follow it (and for example gave a fuck to follow the duty of the state it got regarding east ukraine, not paying rents and so on) and eventually violence increased again.
After the current government made clear, that they will never follow a peaceful solution of this conflict and instead just wanted to have more military support of the west, especially NATO, to stomp the resistence, Russia finally had enough of that shit after eight years and broke the Ukrainians militarys neck in around an hour.
Now they can't continue to murder the east Ukrainians anymore and drive them of their homeland, so now they MUST follow a different solution.
It's sad, that it took that long, that so many died and had to flee and that it had to be ended this way, but, well, humans suck, especially us greedy westerners, who love to rob the rest of the world...
