Ukraine has been killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas region since 2014. That was one of the main reasons Putin gave when starting this war.

I am for giving Russia what they have taken so far and ending it. Then the US and Russia needs to get out of their country and stay out.

Correct. Donbas has endured shelling from the Ukraine Nazi militias for 8 years. They seek protection from Putin. Trump would let Russia have the Donbas and Donesk regions. They are mostly Russian and want to join Russia anyway. As did Crimea.

McGruff: Ukraine has been killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas region since 2014.

Georgia Girl 2: Correct. Donbas has endured shelling from the Ukraine Nazi militias for 8 years.

Incorrect. There has been no indiscriminate shelling of the civilian population in Donbas, as is often claimed by Russian apologists. Rather, there was an exchange of fire between Ukrainian government forces and Russian surrogate militias. Most of the civilian casualties have been from abandoned minefields and unexploded ordinance. The claim of Ukrainian genocide against ethnic Russians in Donbas is a lie.

Georgia Girl 2: They are mostly Russian and want to join Russia anyway.

Again false. The majority of the population in Donbas are ethnic Ukrainians. The split between Ukrainians and Russians is approximately 60/40.
