@dmitry9680 Russia didn't started the war in the Donbass - war in the Donbass started when the Russian protestors in the East of Ukraine (region, by 40-50% populated by Russians) had captured the governmental buildings and proclaimed their independence on 6th of april 2014. Ukraine sent army to supress the DPR and LPR, and fighting had started. Russian army entered the East of Ukraine only later, after nearly a 5 MONTHS of fighting, during the battle of Ilovaysk in august of 2014. Please, watch map video of Emperror Tigerstar about the Donbass war. The Russian separatists rebelled against Kyiv government in the april of 2014, and in the april of 2014 the war, the fighting started. Ukrainian government had announced about the Russian army in the Donbass only in august 2014. 6th April - May - June - July - August Russian army entered the East of Ukraine, when fighting already was happening for nearly 5 months. In first 5 months rebels were losing, but when the Russian army entered the East of Ukraine, Ukrainians started to lose and the frontline started to drive on the West with numerous maneouveres and encerclements. Ukrainian army was defeated by Russian forces in the battle of Ilovaysk. (Russian forces - according to Ukrainian side, Ukrainians didn't announced evidences about the Russian forces in this battle, but let's believe to Ukrainian side without evidences). After the defeat in Ilovaysk the negotiations had started, and Russia attempted to end the war. Russia offered the Minsk agreements to Ukraine - "East of Ukraine - the region, that populated by Russians, and these Russians had rebelled, starting the bloody war. So, let's end the war by giving them autonomy?". Ukraine had all power to agree with Russia and end this war already in 2014, but Ukrainian nationalism didn't allowed Ukraine to accept Russian peace proposal in 2014, and Ukraine rejected Russian peace proposal, Ukraine didn't accepted Minsk agreements, and continued the war. And at now we know what is happening - Russians simply became angry about Ukrainians and started a "crusade against nationalistic government in Kyiv". All slogans of Russian propaganda are talking about "The 8 years of war in the Donbass". For Putin suppourters this war is something like revenge, and this is one of the reasons, why Putin started the war - Putin is dictator, and he is concerned about his popularity, so he started the war, about which 1/3 part of Russians was waiting for 8 years. And at now Putin's popularity is growing.
