This conflict would have ended last spring if not for Western globalist meddling. We are financing, pressuring and directing and prolonging this proxy war. We are responsible for every war crime the Ukes commit just as the Russian public are guilty for war crimes committed on that side.
You cannot dismiss the Ukrainian actions that initiated this war over the Donbass in particular. It was the ignition switch that turned this all on. Declaring a war on citizens in your own country is asking for it.
