The war in Donbas was started by Russia’s military occupation in 2014
———-
Believe what you will, but the Ukro Nazi Azov units started bombing Donetsk and the ethnic Russian provinces since 2014. Plenty of UN human rights violations filed to reference.
Carry on, but best to get treatment for your Russian Derangement Syndrome, it is proving to be a deadly ailment….created by Democrats years ago.
They have been cited and refuted, but carry on with more gay love for "Putin it in".
And now the truth: There was shelling between the Ukrainian forces and the Russian surrogate forces after the Russians militarily occupied Donbas. There were civilian casualties on both sides, mostly because both sides were using unguided Grad rockets. There was no deliberate targeting of civilian populations. The vast majority of these casualties were in the first two years of the war and fell off drastically afterwards. In the latter years most of the civilian casualties, and again on both sides, were from abandoned mines and unexploded ordinance. This has been pointed out so many time that it makes one wonder what is the motivation of anyone who repeats the Russian propaganda that the Ukrainians were deliberately targeting ethnic Russian populations. (And just for the record, Donetsk and Luhansk ethnic Ukrainian provinces.)
