Suicide by Putin.
What did you want him to do?
Ukraine had paramilitary death squads terrorizing ethnic Russians in eastern ukraine.

I spent one month in Ukraine last summer and the one before. I saw many of the refugees in the Moscow patriarchate monastery I visited.
I know more than just press reports.
