The problem with your version of history is that there is nothing for me to refute because it's factually incongruous with the actual events that took place.

This is why nobody wants to try to converse with russian state shills. You have a completely wrong version of events and won't back down from it.

The government installed prior to 2014 was an illegal government puppet for the Russians. All evidence points to that being the truth. Even allies of Russia called that election a brazen theft of the democratic system in Ukraine.

Have you taken a moment to think that by 2014, 23 years following independence from the Soviet union, that Ukrainians were sick and tired of being under the thumb of imperialist soviet doctrine alive and well in Russia?

What about the countless treaties and agreements that Russia would leave Ukraine alone and uphold international borders?

Does it not make sense to defend yourself? Especially when these forces you claim were wrongfully murdered for demanding liberty were... Russian soldiers and russian people's forcefully displaced by... Russia.
