Regarding other "points" -- I see you're only saying "I bet you know nothing" to me, what to argue here.
But if you want to speak about how this started in 2014, -- I saw myself how it started in Crimea. The gangs of local thugs were gathering around the office of pro-russian deputee Kolesnichenko in Sevastopol every day throughout February 2014. This was the next building to the office where I worked back then. The cops who beat people in Kyiv during winter 2014, fled into Crimea, when it became clear there'll be consequences for them for what they did. There was Russian military base already, and they never reported to Ukraine on the number of troops located there (they had to, according to the agreement). And then in late February Russians took over Crimean parliament, and then all the local cops bravely took their side. That was it - enough to let Russian armed forces in.
Later on, in March or April 2014, Girkin (Strelkov), the colonel of FSB of Russian Federation, with a gang of armed Russians, crossed the Ukrainian border and took the City of Slaviansk. A pro-Ukrainian deputee from Kramatorsk or Druzhkovka has been kidnapped and then found in Seversky Donets river with his throat cut. A 16 y.o. boy was killed by that people when traveling by train between Sloviansk and Kyiv, as far as I remember. These two were first victims AFAIR. Girkin, a Russian citizen, became so called minister of defense of "DNR". And Borodaj, a Russian citizen, became the "head" of that formation. They both lived in Moscow before and after these events. This is what everyone needs to know about DNR, in first place.
