@Buffalox that is the Russian narrative, yes. But there is ample evidence that Russian servicemen and entire russian units took part in the invasion of Donbas. Most of the "local rebels" were actually Russian serving citizens. After all, "local rebels" can not operate complex weapon systems like attack helicopters, integrated long range air defence systems etc, it takes quite a bit of training to operate efficiently.

@Buffalox well no, the same year Russia began the war, they invaded parts of Donbas, and war has been going on since 2014. The same war.
@Archangel1313 @Sunshine true, how many agreements has Russia broken? 43 I belive? No paper is trustworthy. Russia must be broken
@TheAsianDonKnots @supersquirrel because they have unique capabilities, like penetration of hardened shelters, much larger war head, twice the speed of a drohne at least. For certain key installations there are no alternatives
@Buffalox I would argue that you can and should label it a war. A significant part of Ukraine had been illegally occupied (Krym), another part was invaded and partially occupied (Donbas, which is two regions), military confrontation with advanced weapons systems was a fact.
