The Russian-backed separatists killed thousands on the other side.
That’s why it’s important to put the fire out on a conflict like that early, before there are thousands of “holy martyrs” on both sides.
But that didn’t suit the agenda of a sociopath like Putin, for whom the violence was just a path to his grandiose dream of ruling Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
He is killing many, many thousands now, including throwing away the lives of thousands of young Russian males, based on nothing but lies about “NATO poised to attack Russia”, or “keeping NATO off the border”, or that “the Ukraine government is Nazis”, or that “we are liberating the people of Ukraine” and on and on. ALL LIES.
You don’t know any of that.
All you know is what the global corporate gaslight press tells you, and they are documented liars.
You aren’t capable of thinking for yourself.
