@MatchSmith It already started in nov -13. First there was an attempted coup by the Russians. They put pressure on president Yanukovych to not sign an already negotiated political association and free trade deal with EU. When people heard about this scam, they gathered in the streets. Protesters opposed what they saw as widespread government corruption and abuse of power, the influence of Russians and oligarchs, police brutality, and human rights violations.
Ressive anti-protest laws fuelled further anger. In January and February 2014 further protests resulted in the government’s resignation. On 21 February, Yanukovych and the parliamentary opposition signed an agreement to bring about an interim unity government, constitutional reforms and early elections. The next day, 22 February, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove Yanukovych from office by 328 to 0.
Russia then occupied and annexed Crimea, with “little green men” (Russian masked soldiers). More “little green men” together with Russian armed pro-Russian separatists seized government buildings and proclaimed the independent states of Donetsk and Luhansk, sparking the Donbas war. The Russian Federation initially denied that these were Russian military forces, but in April 2014 Vladimir Putin finally confirmed the presence of the Russian military.
Alexander Borodai, Prime Minister of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, stated that 50,000 RUSSIAN citizens fought in the Donbas up to August 2015. THESE SOLDIERS are the ones that the Ukranian government fought against, NOT “shelling of innocents in Donbas”, which Russian propaganda tells you.

@edward6438 - Have you heard about Stalin's pact with Hitler in 1939? Hitler should get West Europe and Russia should get the East. Russia attacked Poland and the Baltic states. Only when Hitler broke the pact, Russia fought against the nazis.
- Have you heard about the Arctic/Murmansk Convoys? Stalin called Churchill for help in 1941. US and UK organized 1400 ships to transport millions of tons of supplies and munitions to help Russia fight Hitler.
- Have you heard about D-day in Normandy?
At the time, the D-Day invasion was the largest naval, air and land operation in history, and within a few days about 326,000 troops, more than 50,000 vehicles and some 100,000 tons of equipment had landed. By August 1944, all of northern France had been liberated, and in spring of 1945 the Allies had defeated the Germans. Historians often refer to D-Day as the beginning of the end of World War II.

@kiyarimuhammadu9095 which country did US push its allies to surround, ringed with full of US military bases?
- I don’t know, you tell me!
which country did US directed it cold war with?
- Soviet Union.
which country led to USSR break down?
- Gorbachev’s decision to loosen the Soviet yoke on the countries of Eastern Europe created an independent, democratic momentum that led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, and then the overthrow of Communist rule throughout Eastern Europe. While Bush supported these independence movements, U.S. policy was reactive. Bush chose to let events unfold organically, careful not to do anything to worsen Gorbachev’s position.
With the policy review complete, and taking into account unfolding events in Europe, Bush met with Gorbachev in early December 1989. They laid the groundwork for finalizing START negotiations, completing the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty, and they discussed the rapid changes in Eastern Europe. Bush encouraged Gorbachev’s reform efforts, hoping that the Soviet leader would succeed in shifting the USSR toward a democratic system and a market oriented economy.
Following the May 1990 elections, Gorbachev faced conflicting internal political pressures: Boris Yeltsin and the pluralist movement advocated democratization and rapid economic reforms while the hard-line Communist elite wanted to thwart Gorbachev’s reform agenda.
Gorbachev’s decision to allow elections with a multi-party system and create a presidency for the Soviet Union began a slow process of democratization that eventually destabilized Communist control and contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
which country is now leading in support to Ukraine to fight Russia?
- USA. (Why shouldn’t they?)
raised military, political, economically against Russia physically?
- The sanctions came AFTER the illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Are such actions not a threats, are you trying to say that there is any nation that is above US in open enmity to the Russian federation than the US? State it.
- Again, this came AFTER the illegal invasion.
To your information: in the United Nations General Assembly, only 5 nations has approved russias illegal invasion. 143 voted against Russia. What does that tell you???
