A moral obligation to protect the people of Ukraine?
The corrupt and murderous Kiev government was shelling its own Ukrainian people in the Donbas and killing them by the thousands since 2014. Their crime was their desire for autonomy to escape the Kiev tyrants.
It is Russia who came to the assistance of Ukrainian civilians in the Donbas region by stopping the killing of ethnic Russians there.
Those people do not consider themselves conquered or invaded. They have been LIBERATED. They are not now being mercilessly slaughtered on orders from Kiev.
Unfortunatly many people don’t want to see those facts.
