It is definitely the West's fault for engineering the 2014 Euromaidan coup, which began a campaign of terror and death against trade unionists and the people of the Donbas region, which continues to this day.

It is also Putin's fault for invading further, instead of merely protecting the Donbas republics as they asked.

It's the West's fault that the population of Ukraine wouldn't let a Russian puppet dictator of Ukraine ignore the wishes of the population of Ukraine?

I wonder how you feel about Russia engineering the 8-year-old LPR/DPR "conflict".

Can Russia protect the Donbas from being shelled if they don't invade further?
Russia is the reason Donbas is being shelled.
