    Russia literally never entered any war without serious provocation beforehand.

    It took Georgia killing peacekeeping forces for Russia to march in. It took 8 years of ethnic cleansing in Dinbas before Russia intervened in Ukraine.

      8 years? Ethnic cleansing in Donbas started in 2008? Do you have some source for that? I don’t remember even Russia claiming such a thing. Why did Russia support Yanukovych if he did such things?

        2014, escalation into war started 2022. By that point, one million people had fled to Russia.

        If you then remember the rethoric of the Ukr government and soldiers in Donbas how they want to get rid of the russians… ethnic cleansing is the term that fits.

          You claimed:

          It took 8 years of ethnic cleansing in Dinbas before Russia intervened in Ukraine.

          Russia intervened in Ukraine in 2014. 2014 - 8 = 2008, so ethnic cleansing must have happened between 2008 and 2014 according to you.

            This smirking troll shit you’re doing right now where you pretend not to know what people are talking about to make a point is doing the opposite of what you want it to.
