Although I guess it's better than the completely retarded "The Ukranians are bombing and executing themselves" defense that the guy above me keeps claiming.
Aren't Ukrainians already shelling their own for the last 8 years?
Donetsk and Luhansk are break away republics. Ukrainiens love them so much to attack them regulary.
Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I can tell reading the internet....
A terrorist organization, Russia, got angry at Ukraine for overthrowing a puppet Russian government in 2014, and illegally invaded Crimea as a form of reprisal. Crimea rightfully belongs to Ukraine today.
At the same time it appears that Russia funded two other terrorist organizations in Donetsk and Luhansk,inciting them to cause trouble in a peaceful area of Ukraine.
Had Russia kept their nose inside of their own territory, there would have been peace in Donetsk and Luhansk.
So, looks like Ukraine has been fighting two Russia sponsored terrorist organizations in Donetsk and Luhansk as defense against Russian supplied terrorists.
It always seem to come back to Russia as the aggressor.
