I don't believe in a fabricated truth. I know how this conflict has started. Here are some pointers in case you forgot.
Step 1: Worsening Russian - Ukrainian relations (clear example: 2009 gas disputes).
Step 2: Ukraine seeking closer EU relations resulting for example in EU paying Ukraine's gas bills to Gazprom and EU - Ukraine trade negotiations.
Step 3: Euromaidan.
You guys have done everything possible to piss off the Russians. Not even talking about Ukraine / Georgia NATO membership which is a huge deal for Russia.
Those disputes mainly where manipulations by Moscow, to pull Ukraine into its orbit further and further until it ended up like Belarus. Example - selling gas to ukraine at 30%-40% higher price than to other European Union countries which resulted in these gas disputes to begin with.
Ukraine is a sovereign state, what russian pidor state wants doesn't matter when it comes to direction Ukraine chose to go.
Cronyism, oligarchy and corruption stems from Moscow as a direct tool to influence ex-soviet republics around it, ethically russian population is just a trade-coin to have a scapegoat to blame it on so theres "official reasoning perspective"
But it seems you already made up your mind that installing puppet governments and holding people like Yanukovych or Lukashenko in power is a normal correct thing to do, beating people like cattle when they protest and demand reforms they where promised against the very same oligarchy and corruption you accuse Ukraine of having . Speaks volumes about your lack of understanding of the issues at hand/Eastern European relations and history and of course who you are as a person.
