The Maidan Massacre in early 2014 triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych, spurred Crimeans to secede and join Russia, and sparked a civil war in Eastern Ukraine.

Russians arrived from Moscow and stole Crimea. And Putin already handed out the medals for it.

. . . spurred Crimeans to secede and join Russia, and sparked a civil war in Eastern Ukraine.

Russians in Crimea were pissed that the Crimean Tatars were returning. About 250,000 came back after Ukraine independence. Russians hate the Crimean Tatars. Russia began expelling them under the Tsar after the Russo-Turkish War. The Soviet Union deported the rest. Many Tatars began fleeing after the Russian annexation.
