The facts go like this when Bill Clinton was POTUS and buds with Jeffrey Epstein.
Back when Epstein was visiting the WH Mark Middleton his contact.
Back in those days over the objection of longtime “Containment” of the USSR advocate George Kennan Slick Willie The Pants Dropper decided to expand NATO eastwards.
This led to the coup against the pro-Russian Ukrainian government in 2014 and then Russia began to make its counter moves and Ukraine kept pressuring the separatist regions back into the fold culminating in a military offensive in February of this year.
Then and only then did Russia do the “invasion”.
Since 1997 a whole series of events designed to poke, prod Russia started by a corrupt Bill Clinton and continued by successor POTUS’es.
No reasons to justify the invasion, period. Ukraine wanted to leave the Russian sphere of influence. I can't blame them.
Do not misunderstand Putin “Transnistrian” policy to conquer nations.
The Russian pattern of “Transnistrian” policy controls ‘zones’ of frozen conflicts in Moldova (Transnistria region), Georgia (Abkhazia and South Ossetia), and in Ukraine annexed Crimean peninsula and the Donbas.
Russia uses this wider pattern of created separatist conflicts to create corruption and criminality as ‘Trojan horses’ to block progress in reform-minded periphery countries. This is the Russian tactics part of their geopolitical strategy creating conflict zones to prevent countries from entering NATO and integrating into the European Union.
CONFLICTS in these by Russia AS being part of Russia imperialistic plan to regain strategic points of its LOST EMPIRE.
Of course, This means Russia is going to fully separate occupied parts of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts from Ukraine and recognize its Donbas puppet republics as states sooner or later just like Georgia’s Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
