That’s how the Russians are saving the local people, who they claim want to be a part of Russia and supposedly want Russia to protect them from the boogieman that the Russians have made up. Nothing wins the hearts and minds of villagers like raining incendiary shells on their homes and farms.
Donbas has been shelled and bombed for 8 years by the Ukrainian army, told they could not speak Russian in public, denied Russian tv and books, given no services...Crimea had no water until Russia went there.
Ukraine was a failed state, huge unemployment, pensions taken away. Beatings on the streets by Nazi thugs for fun.
