Way to conveniently forget the hostile takeover of Crimea

Ah yes, the hostile takeover that happened after a popular referendum and saw no resistance from the local population, very much violent, unlike Ukraine shelling Donbass for years of course, that was just defensive peacekeeping to maintain democracy in Europe!

Also, something happened inside of Ukraine’s borders is now provocation… For Russia to invade?

Yes, because as it turns out it wasn't inside Ukraine's borders, it was a violation of the DPR/LPR's borders since Ukraine backstabbed everyone and decided to rip Minsk 2 apart :^)

Just how much are they paying you, huh?

You mean the referendum that happened AFTER the Russian military invaded? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26606097

I'm sure having a gun to their heads had nothing to do with it.

turns out it wasn’t inside Ukraine’s borders

So you're just straight up gonna lie now...?

What about it is a lie? The DPR and LPR had real borders and Ukraine violated those borders by deciding to rip apart Minsk 2 and attack them.
