Hogwash. A bunch of Russian speakers tried to seize control of Donetsk and Luhansk after the revolution in Kiev in 2014 and Russia’ illegal seizure of Crimea. The insurgents in the Donbas were at armed and aided by the Russian military and they seized Ukrainian government buildings in Sloviansk. This was all orchestrated by Moscow to keep Ukraine from further integrating into the democratic West. The rightfully elected government in Kiev exercised its authority to deal with these armed insurgents.
Stop lying about this.
2014 was a CIA coup.
Stop lying about this.
