Lol, sure Ukrainian’s in eastern Ukraine are welcoming their Russian ‘liberators’ who have brought war to their neighborhoods, completely destroyed their towns and cities. Funny how Russians had to use tear gas and mass arrests in Kherson to break up the anti-Russian demonstrations.
There has been a civil war in Ukraine eight years set off by a coup we fomented. That alienated the ethnically Russian part of the nation in eastern Ukraine. It set off independence movements in Donetsk and Lugansk.
Almost all the fighting on ground in Donbas is being done BY UKRAINIANS from Donetsk and Lugansk. Gee, why would that be the case? BECAUSE YOU FREEPIN' IDIOT, the ethnic Russian population has been persecuted and killed by Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis for the past eight years.
During this war, you dim wit, the Ukrainian army has been targeting civilians in Donetsk.
You're either too ignorant or dishonest about what is going to even have a rational discussion with.
