You are a hypocrite with double standards. Serbs crushed illegal Kosovo separatists, and you bombed Serbia for this. Russia is also bombing Ukraine because of the Donbass. You can, but we can't?

@marcbush2796 What's the difference what ethnic composition in the Donbass? The fact is that in April 2014, Ukraine began to suppress protests with the help of the army, which led to hatred and an armed uprising. Russian people in eastern Ukraine raised an armed uprising. In fact, a civil war began in Ukraine. Russia helped the rebels with weapons so that they would not be crushed, and Russia also tried for 8 years to resolve the conflict peacefully. In particular, Russia was the initiator of the Minsk agreements, according to which the DPR and LPR could become part of Ukraine as autonomous Russian republics if Ukraine respected the Russian minority. Russia has been trying to push the Donbass back into Ukraine for 8 years.

@marcbush2796 The original goal of the Kosovo separatists was to join Albania

@marcbush2796 If you don't know history at all, mind your own business. Go learn your lessons better, otherwise you won’t pass the school exam.

@marcbush2796 The southeastern regions of Ukraine are inhabited by Russians. In Crimea in 2014, 60% of the population were Russians, 20% Tatars, 16% Ukrainians and 4% others. In the Donbass, the Russian and Ukrainian population is 50/50. In the regions of southern Ukraine, Russians make up 30-40% of the population. In Ukraine, there has always been a division into pro-Russian and pro-Western politicians. In presidential elections, Ukraine has always been divided into two halves - the pro-Western West and the pro-Russian East. On February 22nd 2014, an illegal coup d'etat took place in Ukraine, and the pro-Russian president was overthrown. Now let's think about how the regions of the south-east of Ukraine, which voted for this president in the elections, reacted to the coup in Kyiv and the overthrow of their president? Mass protests began there. People from the south-east of Ukraine protested against the coup. On April 6, 2014, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine launched an "anti-terrorist operation". Ukrainian tanks dispersed the protesters. All this led to the fact that on April 14, 2014, hostilities broke out - the protesters responded with violence with violence, and the war began. Ukrainian punishers came to Donbass to kill Russians. Too bad we didn't come to their aid then. A special operation against Ukraine should have been carried out back in 2014.

@marcbush2796 The regions of the south-east of Ukraine are inhabited by Russian people. In Crimea in 2014, 60% of the population was Russian. When our army began to seize the Crimea, the local people rejoiced and greeted our soldiers as liberators. People in Crimea have been waiting for 23 years for the moment when they will return home to Russia. In eastern Ukraine, 50% of the population is Russian and 50% Ukrainian. In the south of Ukraine, 30-40% of the population are Russians. Why did this war even start and why did we decide in 2014 to regain Crimea? You see, there was a coup d'état in Ukraine and the pro-Russian government was overthrown by pro-Western and anti-Russian politicians. Therefore, we were forced, we simply had no choice but to protect the Russian people in Crimea from the anti-Russian revolutionaries who had seized power in Kyiv. Russian people, citizens of Ukraine, went out in 2014 to protest against that coup d'etat and the overthrow of the pro-Russian president. By taking Crimea, we defended their right to self-determination. And the Ukrainian army agreed to voluntarily leave the Crimea. Ukrainian officers shook hands with our officers, 20 thousand Ukrainian soldiers left the Crimea without a fight. Because they knew that Crimea is Russian territory.

@marcbush2796 What are you talking about? In 1991 there was a referendum on secession from the USSR. Too bad youtube doesn't allow swearing because I can't describe in words what nonsense you are talking about. I repeat once again - go to your school and teach lessons. Russia itself played a decisive role in the collapse of the USSR. Our glorious ancestors fought under the red-blue-white tricolor against the communists during the civil war. It was Boris Yeltsin, head of the Russian Soviet Republic, who secured Russia's autonomy from the USSR in 1990. And in 1991, Yeltsin and democratic forces stopped the Stalinists when they tried to stage a coup and seize power. After that, Yeltsin banned the Communist Party in the USSR, and then signed the Belovezhskaya Accords with Ukraine and Belarus

@marcbush2796 Russia was just as much a victim of the Soviet communists as was Ukraine. And Russia played a key role in the destruction of the USSR in 1991. In the nineties, Russia was a free democratic state with fair elections. For 23 years, from 1991 to 2014, the presence of Crimea as part of Ukraine suited us, because Ukraine was a friendly country to us. But in 2013-14, a coup d'etat took place in Ukraine, and the pro-Russian government was overthrown, and revolutionaries from Kyiv crushed Russian protesters with the police and the army, although they themselves gained power as a result of a coup d'état. Russia liberated Crimea, returning it home. And in the east of Ukraine, the Russians rebelled, and the war began.

@marcbush2796 Yanukovych was legally elected in the 2012 elections. With regards to the Maidan, the Western media incited hatred of Yanukovych for not signing an agreement with the EU. Pro-Western Ukrainian oligarchs were the organizers of the protests. Ukrainian protesters were specially provided with toilets and weapons, and had equipment provided by the Western partners. They "protested" in helmets with batons, and it is not surprising that when the police began to disperse the protests, violence began. With regards to "selling Ukraine to Russia", before 2014 Ukrainians lived better and richer than after 2014. And much better than now. So Ukraine was sold to the West. Ukrainians leave for Poland to work - picking strawberries for example. Gettin' like bums

@marcbush2796 And in general I don't care about Yanukovych. It infuriates me how you equate Russia and the USSR, although Russia is exactly the same victim of the Soviet regime as Ukraine. And Russia played a key role in the destruction of the USSR. With regards to Yanukovych, it does not matter how and why he was overthrown. The fact is that this was a pro-Russian president who was voted for in the elections by Russian people from the Russian southeastern regions of Ukraine. And when Yanukovych was overthrown, it led to protests and the liberation of Crimea. And the protests, which the Ukrainian authorities dispersed by force, escalated into an uprising and a war. And now Russia is fighting for a just cause, defending the right to self-determination of people in the Donbass.

@marcbush2796 I repeat once again - Ukraine after 2014 lived worse than before 2014. If we compare Ukraine and Belarus in 2021, Belarus is richer than Ukraine. In Belarus in 2021, both wages and GDP per capita were higher. Belarus made an eastern choice, and Ukraine made a western one. As for the people in Kyiv who protested because they wanted to be in the European Union. And how is it that the protesters in Kyiv had the right to self-determination, while the Russian protesters in Crimea and Donbass do not have the right to self-determination?

@marcbush2796 Russia started the war in 2022 because in 2021 there were negotiations between Russia and NATO, and in these negotiations NATO refused to give us security guarantees. And before that, Ukraine embarked on the path of joining NATO. Back in 2002, when Russia was a free, democratic, peace-loving country, there was no reason to be afraid of Russia. For several years, Russia has been trying to resolve the conflict in Donbas peacefully, through the Minsk agreements. Russia literally tried to shove the DPR and LPR into Ukraine as autonomous Russian republics. But Ukraine itself refused a peaceful solution
