Some background to the war in Ukraine, explained with maps. Most of the people in eastern Ukraine are ethnic Russians. This is because Lenin handed over Russian territory to THE Ukraine in 1922. He did this purely for geo-political reasons.
In 2010 these ethnic Russians voted overwhelmingly for President Yanukovych, a Russian friendly fellow. In 2014 the CIA and Victoria Nuland engineered a coup to oust Yanukovych and replace him with an American friendly fellow. This operation is known as Maidan.
Between 2014 and 2022 the Ukrainian government persecuted the ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, up to and including shelling, bombing, shooting, abducting, raping and torturing. All of this has been reported on by Amnesty International.
The Legacy Media never told us about this after the 2022 war started. They HAD told us before, but post 2022 has seen the air-brushing of truth and reality and its replacement with total anti-Russian propaganda. This is why lazy journalists such as @JuliaHB1remain mired in ignorance as to the cause of this war.
Ukraine is an artificial construct, cobbled together to include two peoples, two cultures and two countries. The American Deep State used the frictions inherent in such countries to interfere geo-politically, with the sole intention of destabilising Russia without having to sacrifice a single U.S. Marine.
A brief look at the maps makes it clear Ukraine is actually two completely different countries in terms of people and politics. When journalists state "...this unprovoked war" you should immediately recognise them for what they are - warmongering propagandists.
