    They are trying to subjugate the Donbass region,

    Would you mind going into a bit more detail please?

    Not trying to "sealion" or anything, just genuinely curious. Is it undisputed that Yanukovych had majority support in Donbas? I'm doing some more research now. Are you saying the Maidan Uprising was overblown or unrepresentative of common opinion?

    Edit: and "coup" feels loaded. Not disputing but I would like further explanation if you can.

    It's pretty undisputed that Yanukovych was supported by the Donbass heavily. Euromaidan was western-backed, involved the Maidan Massacre, which seems to have been a false flag based on investigation, and was supoorted largely by the far-right.

    Western backed isn't inherently a bad thing, far-right is of course, but your link is 404ing for me

    Try this one. The fact that the west backed it is pretty damning for it to not have been a genuine "pro-democracy" movement.

    Is it that damming? It's not like the other side didn't have heavy outside influence as well?

    i aspire to be a tankie so it sometimes feels like i'm being given credit for something i haven't achieved yet. lol
