  1. Russian terror? What are you talking about, there was only Ukrainian terror, when Ukraine hypocritically started the war in the Donbass in 2014. This is hypocrisy and double standarts, considering the fact that there was literally same coup un Kiev 2 months before. If people in Kiev had right to self-determination, so people on the Donbass also had that right

  2. You are wrong. This is Russian land, and it originally belonged to Russia since 18th century, while Ukrainians came to this land as imigrants in 19th century. Russian population in this territory is native, while Ukrainians came later as a result of migration

  3. Yes, this is impossible to make coup without at least some support from people, there are a lot of people in the previous south-east Ukraine, that at now became south-west Russia, that support Russia

  4. ​ @levinaugust3331  no, this territory never belonged to Ukraine, and Russian settlers came to this land even before Ukrainians, after Russia captured this empty land from Ottoman Empire in 18th century. Russians lived on this land for generations since 18th century, while Ukrainians came in 19th century as imigrants. Aslo, 2 months before Donetsk People's Republic proclaimed independence, there was an illegal, anti-constitutional coup in Kiev. So, if people in Kiev have right to self-determination, if people in Kiev violated the law and constitution, so Russian people in the Donbass and Crimea who were diagree with this coup in Kiev also had right to self-determine by violating law and constitution, and Ukraine had no morale right to send troops and start war, and Ukraine hypocritically sent troops and started the war

  5.  @glitterjapon  these lands were empty up to 18th century, because of Tatars who were raiding these lands since Dhchenghis Khan, and in 18th century Russia captured thil land from the Ottoman Empire. It was empty land with no people living in it, and Russians established their settlements, and only later Ukrainians came to this Russian land, and later in 1917 Lenin transfered this land to Ukraine
