> People who identify themselves as Russians in Donbass have the right not to be threatened by Ukranian nationalists
And how have they fared since February 2022? Entire cities wiped under relentless Russian artillery, homes and businesses destroyed or looted, family members tortured, raped, kidnapped or murdered, and entire generations of men forcibly conscripted into meat attacks against their compatriots.

Interestingly your account joined 9 days ago, and this is your only post, this is one of the only times I've seen someone outright support Russia's invasion of Ukraine on this site. People in the Donbass voted -for- Zelenskyy before the invasion. So, your point is nonsense. Putin panicked because he wanted a puppet state with tons of agricultural and oil exports, and it turned against his planted head of state.

>Putin . . . wanted a puppet state with tons of agricultural and oil exports
Ukraine is a net oil and gas importer and always has been.

The entire idea of taking over Ukraine is to steal its resources and they would become a net exporter with a fairly small upfront investment. If Russia controlled Ukraine, they would control ~30% of the World's fertilizer distribution, tons of grain, and would give them a stronger foothold on natural gas distribution and oil reserves, all while being on Poland's doorstep. Putin is a Eurasianist, he doesn't care about the people in Eastern Ukraine.

I live in the west, by the way, and there are many people like me, though our voices are being silenced.
