> EU did not cause the war in Ukraine.

Correct.

> Soviets did, by appending Donetsk Krivorozhye Republic to Ukraine SSR.

No, the Russian Federation did, by launching an unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine.

Ukraine did not control Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk for almost a decade. The north cyprus / north ireland situation existed before the war, which does look idiotic to me presently.

The war started with the 2014 invasion, not the 2022 escalation.

Okay, so? Another war was started in 1974 by Turkey. I rest the case.
