A Russian steals $100 from you. You confront him about it. He hands back a $20 and says “See, I made a concession”.

Nah…analogy falls short. Here’s a better one...

The neighbors’ houses in the HOA next to you (Russia) are taken over by murderous revolutionaries (Euromaiden Revolution). A couple of the houses that border your property decided to leave the HOA (Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea). The murderous revolutionaries began killing the people of the houses that have left the HOA. You begin protecting the houses who border your land and go after the revolutionaries killing your bordering neighbors

The only murders that occurred during the Maidan were done by Yanukovich's thugs and a team of Russian snipers sent in by Putin. Followed up in the east by large numbers of "little green men" carrying AKs ready to shoot down any Ukrainians who got in their way.

The DSM would call this "projection", except that you know full well your story is completely, absurdly false. Formulated no doubt for domestic consumption on state-owned media in Russia, where there's no-one allowed to point out the facts. Only useful idiots in the West will believe it.
