No. The war started in 2014 when the US sponsored a coup against the elected government and installed the Nazis that are currently in power.
Don’t tell people facts, they’ll get upset.
What blatant Russian propaganda. While there was US support, the uprising in 2014 was a popular movement against a corrupt Yanukovych who bowed to Russian pressure and reneged on a EU-Ukrainian deal and sought to link Ukraine with Russia. The Russians, and their sycophants, are exaggerating the US influence. Additionally, Yanukovych was removed by the democratically elected parliament. At worst, this was a internal constitutional problem among the Ukrainians, and was not threat to the Russians. Finally, Poroshenko and Zelensky were installed by popular elections, not by a coup. Russia does not get to dictate internal Ukrainian politics. The war started when Russia invaded to grab land that they had always coveted. The excuses that they offer are just that, excuses.
