@sidoliveira3246 I am from Russia, I will try to explain to you a little the situation about the conflict between Russians and Ukrainians. To begin with, Ukrainians and Russians are really practically one people. There are a lot of mixed marriages, a huge number of family ties. Many Ukrainians live in Russia, Many Russians live in Ukraine. In fact, many Ukrainians even consider themselves Russians and vice versa. There was peace. But there was a problem. Western Ukraine, where nationalist sentiments are very strong. It was even under the USSR. 30 years ago, the USSR collapsed and the influence of Western Ukrainians grew every year. After the coup in 2014, the influence of Ukrainian Western nationalists has grown exponentially. Ukraine has become more radical. This process took place in many areas. Education, the study of history, new history textbooks, a ban on the Russian language in the media, new laws restricting the Russian language, a ban on Soviet symbols (they banned the Flag of Victory over Nazi Nazism, wearing Soviet orders and medals), the demolition of monuments associated with Russia). Ukraine is divided. Crimea and eastern Ukraine have always been pro-Russian. Western Ukraine is fundamentally anti-Russian. After 2014, Western Ukrainian ideology and mentality began to dominate in Ukraine.

@2138Dude no, you can be neutral when bordering Russia! Russia did absolutely nothing until 2014, before the coup in Kyiv. But when Russia realized that the naval base in Sevostopol would be closed to Russia and there would be a NATO base, Russia began to operate. Many other factors played, but geopolitically, Russia could not allow this. By the way, in 2014 Russia recognized it by a referendum in Donetsk and Lugansk. Russia was not looking for an escalation. For Russia, these areas were more beneficial as part of Ukraine. Because several million pro-Russian residents of Donbass would never have voted for anti-Russian politicians in Kyiv. But someone really needed a conflict in the east of Ukraine, in which Russia will certainly be drawn. When you answer this question for yourself correctly, you will understand a lot. Do not forget that a huge number of people who have relatives in Russia live in the east of Ukraine. The Russians consider the inhabitants of Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk to be their people, they consider them their people. And this is not surprising. Residents of Russia and Ukraine lived in the same country for a long time. And if the inhabitants of western Ukraine are very different from Russians in terms of mentality and perception of history, then the inhabitants of eastern Ukraine and Crimea are exactly the same as the inhabitants of Russia. Moreover, the inhabitants of Russia have great respect for the inhabitants of the Crimea and Donbass for the fact that they remained as they were, did not betray themselves, did not change their history and remember their ancestors. Unlike other part of Ukraine.

@sidoliveira3246 conflict in Donbas and Crimea. The population of Crimea and Donbass was initially dissatisfied with anti-Russian statements during the coup in Kyiv in 2014. There has always been misunderstanding between Western Ukrainians and Eastern Ukrainians. It was at the household level. The nationalistically inclined western Ukrainians despised the inhabitants of the east. I'm generalizing, of course, but in general it's true. This is a different mentality, a different perception of history, a different attitude towards Russia and Russians. For example, residents of Crimea and Donbass will never recognize Bandera, Shukhevych and their followers as heroes of Ukraine. In the west of Ukraine, they hate everything that is connected with Russia, Russians and the Soviet past. Most people believe that Ukraine is the same. But it's not. Ukraine is very different. Western Ukraine after 2014 tried to force and repress Crimea and eastern Ukraine to submit. The result of the referendum in the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk. Self-defense units and military confrontation. It's short.

@@DmytroKostenko-om6nk Eight years ago, on June 8, 2014, this girl, Polina Vyacheslavovna Sladkaya, 6 years old, died under bombing in Slavyansk. In the list of dead children of Donbass, she is number one. That is, she was the first child - a victim of this war. During the shelling of the city, several shells pierced an old merchant's house, built back in the 19th century, where Polina hid from shelling. One of the witnesses of the tragedy said: “She would not have survived anyway ... The fragments hit her stomach, legs, near her ear.” The doctor who carries Polina in the photo is Mikhail Georgievich Kovalenko. He recalled: “The mines that killed this girl came from Karachun. There was a Ukrainian battery stationed there, which regularly shelled the city. That's where they shot from.
