At least someone is finally admitting the war Ukraine has been waging on Russian-speaking Donbas since 2014 was a pretty big and bloody one.
No one has said otherwise, though Russkies and their muppets have claimed that Ukraine has been terrorizing the Donbass, when in reality, Russia was even using Donbas as a training zone--knowing that no large scale retaliation could be done--to terrorize Ukraine. They had Russian soldiers practice firing heavy long range artillery at Ukrainian positions on a regular basis, killing and wounded on a daily basis for some years.
