    Before the Ukrainian government decided to send the army to the Donbass in 2014 and begin the ATO (antiterrorist operation), Russia sent Girkin-Strelkov, Borodai, Motorola (Russian military intelligence) who with the help of a battalion of mercenaries (GRU, Wagner) stormed the regional parliaments of Donetsk and Lugansk. And only later was Ukraine forced to defend its territorial integrity, as the government of any country would have had to do. Then a war began in which there were victims on both sides and civilian victims were caught in a crossfire.
    Ukrainians also died: 4,500 Ukrainian soldiers; 6,500 rebel soldiers and 3,400 civilians killed by both sides, not just by the Ukrainians.
    What these Russians say is partial and deeply biased. And in essence it is false.

      Being off work and after diner, I was bold enough and asked them "is this Russian?" They said yes. "But you are from Ukraine, why don't you speak Ukrainian"? A thick silence fell over the table, got no answer.

      The fact that many Ukrainians have russian as their mother tongue is not denied by anyone. But Russia, with their hostility and aggression, has used this as their advantage as a justification of their action, using our tendency to simplify against us.

    As someone who's partner is actually from Donbas (Luhansk), I can safely say none of these people know anyone from Donbas, and that everything they think they know is complete bullshit. First of all, people have never been "prohibited from speaking Russian" in any part of Ukraine, and it's STILL the case. My partner is a native Russian speaker, and even continued to be so (until the invasion in 2022, of course). My partner and his entire extended family fled from Luhansk to the Kharkiv region in 2014 not because of "Ukrainian shelling" but because of the constant violence in the streets brought on by the armed Russian separatists who had made their way in, like a disease. And who suddenly had VERY heavy weapons they loved to use VERY liberally. This was especially a time of paranoia and distrust amongst the people living there, and the stress of these armed militants taking over the city was unbearable and felt like a ticking time bomb. They moved from Luhansk because they knew what was to come. They knew what Russia was and still is. And look what happened.

      Cool anecdotal experience. Of course the bulk of Luhansk and Donetsk residents supported Russia. They voted politically for decades for pro Russian parties, and as you said, almost all speak Russian. And of course there are those who fled because there was violence and disorder but they are a tiny minority. There is very little distinguishing Ukrainian and Russian people (near same history, origin, languages very similar), plus if you take the language factor out, it’s practically the same people who speak the south Russian dialect. And Donetsk also had waves of migration across Russia to the coal mines and factories, so a lot of these people have roots outside of the Okrajina.

      For the same reason that Melitopol and Kherson remained intact. If the enemy army leaves the city, it remains intact. The militias did not establish themselves in cities, as the Azovites did in Mariupol. It cannot be said that Donbass was intact at all. During the 8 years of conflict, many civilians died. “From 2014 until the start of the special military operation, until February 2022, 2,269 civilians were killed, including 35 children. About 8 thousand civilians were injured, including 90 children” in the LPR. “DPR Ombudsman Daria Morozova, in a report to the UN Security Council, stated that from the beginning of the conflict in Donbass to the special operation in the republic, 4,374 people were killed, almost 8 thousand were injured.” This is not to say that there was no war before 2022.

      Even the others who were bombed were not bombed by AFU (this apply at least for 95% of such attacks, very small part can be counted as collateral damage by AFU but it is really the absolute minimum). Nearly all attacks against civilian infrastructure in Donetsk and Luhansk was done by separatits/ruSSians in order to blame AFU and create that narrative about "Ukraine bombing people". Also Prigozin confirmed that which was probably one of the reasons why he was killed. Fascist ruSSia is lying from very beggining of it's existence, Putin lied basically about everything and never ever intended to fulfill any agreement.

    I live in Donetsk, and to put it briefly, before February 24, life was at least somewhat bad, it was stifled by propaganda and the local regime that instilled its values. If we talk about when Donetsk was not yet under occupation, no one belittled me for the language I speak, no one forced me to do anything, I lived simply and calmly, everything just went on as usual, that Donetsk also had its problems in terms of politics and economics, but these are all natural things that in normal states are resolved over time, at least Donetsk was like that before the occupation. This is how I will always remember it, my hometown. If we talk about the time after February 24, all hell began here, Russian norms began to prevail, people were forced to adapt to them, although there was neither a technological nor physical ability for this, I will touch on everyone’s favorite topic about the bombing of the Donbass, after the 24th it just intensified and in this regard, everything became extremely worse, if we compare before the start of the “SVO”, then military operations took place only on the border of the territories of occupation and Ukraine. I think this argument about 8 years, incomprehensible people seized part of a sovereign state and thought that they would be allowed to move on with the help of armed formations, is complete nonsense? People who supported the occupation of Donetsk should have understood that they were committing a crime by supporting this. It seems to me that people here are deteriorating every year due to the lack of the right choice between cold and hot media.

      Big yes! And also, what right does Russia have to step in and just claim the regions that there is unrest in? And then, within a decade, annex? I understand that Ukraine has had big problems in the last 30 years, but none of that justify how Russia has treated their "once brotherly neighbor". We've seen in the last two years how Ukraine has responded - a full scale rejection of Russia. Putin should wise up and leave.

      It is absolutely untrue what you wrote regarding the settlement of the eastern lands of Ukraine and the famine from which many in the USSR suffered, but only because of the drought in these territories and the stupid management of the Bolsheviks. Although the Ukrainians whine the most about the Holodomor, reserving this prerogative. It is known from the archives that it was Lenin, and later Stalin, who gave carte blanche to Ukraine, giving them the eastern Russian lands, inhabited by Russians, as well as the south, including Odessa, where the indigenous peoples were only Russians and Jews. They also issued a decree in which the study of the Ukrainian language became widespread, which was not the case under the tsar. Large industrial enterprises were created on these lands, which quickly went bankrupt after the collapse of the USSR, while the Ukrainian economy was considered the most developed in the entire USSR. Of course, this is a disgrace, to distribute Russian lands on what grounds, why? Khrushchev later distinguished himself with this when he gave Crimea to Ukraine. And at the same time, they hate the Soviet regime and whine more than anyone, even the Balts. 😂 All this contradicts the fact that Ukraine was deliberately starved of famine. Regarding the Crimean Tatars and Kaliningrad, the information is correct. What can you not read in Western historical tales?

    When the girl called her parents on the landline, the Russians told her her parents were dead ( they were lying, her father managed to SMS her)
    When the Russian troops ( not officers ) arrived, they were made to sleep outside. It was -20 deg. When the Ukrainians asked the officers why they were making the soldiers sleep outside, their response was " they are going to die soon anyway'
    It was heartbreaking to hear her story. The only upside was that the family managed to escape by bribing the officers with their cars and all their money. They walked to (unoccupied) Ukraine and had their freedom, but lost all worldly possessions.

During the years 2018-2021, only a little over a hundred civilians died. Most of them died in mines. In addition, many civilians died while handling unexploded ordnance that exploded in their hands. In 2020 and 2021, only 15 civilians died as a result of active hostilities. These figures are from OHCHR reports. They are the only independent estimates of casualty figures, and are based on reports by UN observers.
    The claim that Ukraine carried out mass murder in Donbass is outrageous bullshit without any decent evidence.

    Dear Russian friends, the power of Russian wishful thinking is overwhelming. I just wonder why no one of your lot asks a very simple question: why there was no one single victim and no single destroyed house BEFORE you started protecting the inhabitants of Eastern Ukraine? Why was it necessary to send Russian nationalist activists and special forces there in order to convince the people that they were suffering? From those Russian subjects who initiated this mayhem and following orders from Moscow led so called "uprisings" there are only few who survived, most of them were murdered and interestingly not by Ukrainians but local "unknown perpetrators". Some of them, like Prigoshin and his coworkers were executed, others like Strelkov are in Russian prison. Almost all initial so called local leaders of so called uprisings were citizens of RF and members of FSB.
    You have created a terrible situation on the territory of another State and started to help accusing people who dared to defend their homeland of being nazis. Without your help East Ukraine wouldn't be a pile of rubble and a graveyard for thousands.

Russian TV visually “correctly” represents the course of hostilities for its citizens. 3. Returns to point 1 I want to ask you why Westerners did not protest so actively when your troops invaded regimes and countries they hated with much greater casualties. Yes, I know, there was a public outcry, but a hundred times less. why? Вecause there was no such agenda in your media. Because they dealt with their opponents. When Russia attacked your ally, there was an unimaginable outcry and sanctions. I don’t remember Americans being excommunicated from the Olympics during the invasion of Iraq with incredible civilian casualties. The actions of the Western media will always be justified, the actions of Russia will absolutely always be criticized. These are the rules of the game.

    The Russian Leader made no secret of the fact that he wanted to turn the whole of Country into Russia. He published a essay about this in June 2021.
    He said it has been the biggest mistake of the previous government to admit it as a state.
    In the same year later in December he had a long speech, in which he said: Ua has no right to exist.
    2 Months Later he started the "Operation".
    He also admitted in September 2023 in Vladivostok, that this war was about conquering land, especially Crimea. He was asked what future generations will think about him.
    He responded with an example of Katarina II. According to Historians, she is historically weak, because she did not manage to make Crimea Russia. And he doesn't want people to write about him like that in the history books later.
    So the Russian Leader admits that he is afraid that future generations will consider him weak if he does not manage to turn Crimea into Russia.
    He also says right after that, "National interests always come first." And "that is my very most important guideline and goal." And "I am not ashamed to admit this."
    This is the Reason for Starting this back in February 2022. Its all for his Ego. As Wagner Leader said before his Plane Explosion. This "Operation" was only for the Grandpa to look good in his Grave.

    The russian people talk in the video about needing to learn history. So here's a history lesson...
    Igor Girkin and Donbas
    Mh 17 passenger airliner was shot down in Donbas in July 2014. A Dutch court found three ruSSians guilty in absentia of that crime and those russians are wanted by the ICC to stand trial in the Hague. But guess who one of the russians was?
    Igor Girkin! Former FSB officer (now in jail in russia for criticising putin). Girkin has admitted in several published interviews that the FSB invaded Crimea and Donbas in 2014. It was not a popular uprising and russian speaking Ukrainians were not under threat. Girkin has admitted that the mess russia created in the Donbas has led to hatred of russia in the Donbas. He has gone on record saying there was no civil war. Just the FSB causing provocations that were then backed up by the russian army in neutral uniforms.
    Girkin boasted: "I pulled the trigger for war. If our troops had not come from Russia to Donbas and Crimea, we would not have been able to start a war."
    putin has since invented the figure of 20,000 civilian deaths, offering NO EVIDENCE whatsoever; no cemeteries filled with bodies, no names, no eye witnesses, nothing.
    Prigozhin (naturally before putin had him murdered) had also admitted that there were no Nazis in Ukraine and that Ukraine had posed no threat to russia before the invasion. He blamed elites in Moscow for launching an unnecessary and unprovoked war designed to make themselves rich.
    That is the truth. Not from me. Not from the West. From the mouths of the russians who were there and started it.

      Rus is Kyivan kingdom, and it has always been there since the inception - it is what all contemporary chronicles testify, pointing out that both Novgorod and all else isn't called Rus at all.
      Official Russian archeology directly proved Novgorod's absence prior to mid of 10-th century. Anybody are free to read the ultimate study, but Russian state avoids brining that up. That cult of Novgorod is Soviet post-war gibberish, lovely exploited in Putin's baloney of course too.

      Archaeology suggests that Novgorod existed in the IX century. But Kiev appeared a little later than Novgorod, since traces of the city walls date back to the border of the IX and X centuries.

All the fighting has been done in the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine. Cities like Sievierodonetsk, Mariupol, Avdiivka, and Bahkmut (all majority Russian speaking) have been turned into rubble.

They tried with cheap oil and gas to get such a large foothold on Europe that they would end up extorting and blackmailing us. In the east of Ukraine the same resources have been found which are basically a threat to the Russian hegemony. We have all heard the boasting about their large reserves and how Europe needs them.
      The EU had made a deal with Ukraine in 2014 to develop those resources and Russia took over later in 2014 for the first time. In 2022 the Nord Stream 2 deal fell through after a lot of nuclear threatening and bullying by Russia and 2 days later the invaded Ukraine for the second time to eradicate the country as a whole. Ukraine was supposed to seize to exist in a week's time. That didn't happen and so Putin is still holding on to his madness.
      All other talk is just nonsense and lame excuses in which he even repeats the same madness as Hitler did in the 1930s and 40s. They have never come clean with their own history, playing the victim all the time. But in fact WW II would not have happened without the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact which kept Germany clear on the 'back' side so he could invade western European countries.

    There's going to be A LOT of crying in Russia when this war is over. Imagine the societal upheaval when the common Russian man and woman realize their government has been lying to them for the last 40 years! I'll have my🍿and be ready to watch the show!

      It's like religious fanatics. They will carry on believing what makes them more comfortable. Plenty of people in Russia haven't be living freely and I won't enjoy as it's getting worst.

      They don't believe and don't accept that Soviet Union invaded and occupied the Baltic states for 45 years, they also will not believe and accept that they were the baddies, not Ukrainians and the West.

      Come to Russia and tell me or yourself that there's no freedom here. You all know nothing, but have a huge opinion, speaking ill of Russia, claiming it's dangerous and lacks freedom. What's in your head? Water?
