Sad are those who do not document themselves or get pissed off by the propaganda. Putin did not want to invade Ukraine. There have been a thousand diplomatic attempts by Russia to prevent this invasion. But they were not listened to by anyone. In 2014 in Piazza Maidan there was Viktoria Nuland who financed the coup to send the neo-Nazis to command in Kiev! These since 2014 (financed by the Americans and the British) have started to kill all the Russian speakers of the Donbass. Russia has tried in every way to solve it in a diplomatic way but has never been listened to. The United (Democratic) and British States are responsible for all the unnecessary Ukrainian deaths that have been in these 3 years.
