....
the reason for this war is capitalism
those russians that tried to declare autonomy wanted to found and own and run their own central bank for that they had to undermine the ukrainian state,
it is pretty much the same they did like what the ukrainian baltic and eastern european oligarchs did to the russians.
the eastern europeans want to declare independence from russia but don't allow russians to declare independence from them,
because if the oprthodox russians would do that they would be not able to afford the alliance with the liberal usa. because the west will simply drain them of their labour and no labour would come to them from russia thats why they are screwed. they are the nazis that pretend to fight nazis
I recommend that you look into one more issue - these are the features of the language

Russian is a nationality. It's like a Korean, a Finn, a Spaniard.
And those who live on the territory of Russia are "inhabitants of Russia".
In English, these two words are identical: and they are written like this "russian", and in the Slavic languages \u200b\u200b(to which Russia is trying to attribute itself so much) it is written differently "Russian" (nationality) and "Russian" (belonging to Russian citizenship).
Why am I talking about this? Because the war against Ukraine (and earlier - against Moldova, Georgia, ...) is waged not by Russians by nationality, but by citizens of Russia. For example, I am an ethical Russian, but a citizen of Ukraine. And many ethnic Russian citizens of Ukraine are now destroying terrorists from Russia.
In order not to confuse, remember the rule (after you begin to distinguish between these two essentially different concepts, many things will become much more understandable and logical for you):
1. A person who is Russian by nationality - Russian
2. An individual who is a citizen of Russia and the bearer of the concept of the "Russian world" - rashist
