    No, I’m saying that the Ukrainian state fought against a militia armed and trained by the russian to steal the Crimean peninsula. While there were treaties in place preventing the russian from acting exactly like this. If you wage a coup against a state you cannot cry genocide when you are fought against by the state you attacked first

      Ukraine broke the treaties, and the Banderites couped the state and started ethnically cleansing Russians. It’s ethnic cleansing, full stop.

        Again, put-it-in admitted himself russia was supporting separatists militias in a military fashion well before 2014, when the Crimean war broke out. How can you so blindly keep on repeating that was Ukraine to break the treaties is beyond my understanding

          Which treaty are you specifically referring to, here? Ukraine had been a hotbed of far-right Banderite influence before they committed the Maidan massacre and couped the state in 2014, and that wasn’t because of Russian influence.
