Without the slightest provocation huh?

It would be nice if history was so black and white, wouldn't it?

Ukraine was full of conflict between pro Russia and pro-EU well before that war. It was a complicated political environment.

The invasion was not, and never is, justified, but let's not pretend Putin woke up one day, threw a dart at the dartboard and decided to invade that place.

Good thing that history is that black and white this time, this is as black and white as WW2.

Then what happened?.

I bet if I asked you why WW1 started you’d say it’s because a Serb assassinated an Austrian.
