So Ukraine that is a Sovereign nation and decided on her own that it wants to move closer to EU and NATO is somehow the problem for Russians so much so they decided to invade it, genocide the population and rape its way through the country?
''Sovereign Nation''? You mean it became ''Sovereign'' when the democratically elected President was overthrown in 2014 and a guy put in place the nation didn't even vote for? That's the reason the DNR and LNR even decided to split up, because they don't agree with that. The east Ukraine was always more pro russian, while the west side was more pro Europe.
Genocide? Do you even know what that word means? Oh and the rape story ofc, which how many cases were proven? Exactly, Zero. You can tell those fairytales your grandma. The woman who came up with this was even kicked out by Ukraine goverment themselfs lol - and another woman (some sort of politician) gave an interview to a polish channel, where she said none of those rape accusations had any proof.
And btw. there were the minks agreements - 2 of them - that were created to solve this whole problem without any bigger escalation, for 8 years they didn't help, meanwhile Ukraine was bombing their own people in Donbass.
