tass.ru/politika/1398162 In 2014, the power of the Ukrainian junta hung in the balance, and all of "Novorossiya", looking at the Crimea, was waiting for Russia with hope. But the Kremlin initially refused to send peacekeeping forces to the Donbass, and then was the first in the world to recognize the legitimacy of Poroshenko’s election. That is not someone who cares for anyone in all of the Donetsk basin. 8 years of so called Ukranian shelling is actually 8 years of Putin being indifferent to anything except his close friends. Who are very rich and some are even Jewish I might add.
