The Ukraine war started in 2014 (and actually a decade before with the
Orange Revolution) when Ukraine started killing off its own people in the Donbass. Russia's involvement in 2022 was only to stop the killing. But the Ukraine government wouldn't stop, because they listened to leaders in the US who said that the US would support Ukraine.
The result? Ukraine has been destroy, even if the Ukraine and US leaders act like it is still there. Upwards of 400,000 Ukraine people are dead. Millions have fled the country. All that the current Ukraine is, is a military arm of the US with a bunch of Ukraine civilians held captive by circumstances.

You are right. If you saw - I left link for our site and there our history only from 2022, because till 2022 we do what we do like simple people and doen`t have "official history". All guy from our group from Maidan till now knows about war personally. And it`s very hard to tell about somebody not from Ukraine.
