“ Right because if someone takes over your house, robbing, raping and killing, you would want to “talk”.
Sort of like how Zelensky was doing to the Donbas region since 2014. Talking didn’t get anywhere on that either.
Well since Zelensky was elected in 2019, doubt he did much in Donbas in 2014. Putin started the civil war in Ukraine, by funding it, arming it and even sending their green men, therefore they are to blame.
Zelensky was elected in late 2019, not 2014.
As for fighting across the line of contact, sort of like what the Russians and Russian proxies were doing to Ukraine since 2014, as the bombardments, etc. were mutual.
