“Wrong, the first were committed by Ukraine in 2015 when they started shelling the ethnic Russian eastern independent provinces.”
Comrade Chekist, you and your boss Pidor Putin do not get to have this both ways.
If Donbas and Crimea are parts of Russia occupied by Russian forces...as Russia frequently claims they are...then the Ukrainians are then shelling Russian invaders and Russian citizens who are illegally occupying Ukrainian territory.
So far as I am concerned the Ukrainians after 2014 were holding back the thieving Russian forces who first pretended to be “Little Green Men” and then who pretended to be “Donbas Separatists”.
You say that the Ukrainians killed 22,000 of these gangsters?
Good. I hope they kill more of them and I wish the Ukrainian forces good hunting as they oust the murderers, thieves, and rapists from all of the land of the Ukrainians...including Crimea.

Great post. I’m going to show it to my Russian-speaking Ukrainian wife whose hometown of Alchevsk was stolen by Putin’s clandestine invasion of the Donbas. She hates them.
