I posted this some time ago. This is the background to the SMO.

Once the war started, war is hell for both sides.  That we all can agree on.

Both sides have achieved some victories but at the expense of the Ukranian civilians and those Zelensky pressed into the military.

My post read:

“Ukraine had been shelling the Donbas for 9 days before the Russian SMO.  This was not widely reported in the Western media.  From 2014-22, Ukraine (the West) was in conflict with the Donbas region.  This puts the US (the West) puppet Zelensky in a new light.”

 

Biden even stated that Russia was going to invade Ukraine days before it happened.    He or his handlers just kept pushing Putin.  They wanted this to occur and Zelensky was told to fight to the last Ukrainian or something like that. This military action could have been over months ago but the West is feeding the fire.  If the Donbas wants to be autonomous, let them. The borders of the modern Ukraine were basically artificial same as the Colonial powers carved up Africa with a ruler with disregard for tribal and language differences. Source for later conflict.
