Russia Ukraine war, page-198151

"...Russia invaded in 2014..."
Inicorrect. The "Invasion" did not happen till February 2022.


"...Before 2014, NATO was not an issue..."
Incorrect. NATO expansionist ambitions were ALWAYS an issue for Russia. Especially as far as NATO's expansion into countries that neighbour Russia goes.

"...The shift toward NATO support..."
Ukraine - NATO relationship goes as far back as 1997. Brush up on your history there, buddy.


"...As for Europe, Yanukovich was voted into power on a promise of closer ties with Europe. It was only when Putin bribed him with a $3bn "loan" that Yanukovich decided to join the CIS instead..."

Bribed. LOL. I wonder how much the US/EU bribed Zelensky with, to refuse negotiations and keep the war going back in March/April 2022.


"...The people of 2014 in Ukraine wanted Europe not Russia..."

It seems that what Ukrainian people REALLY wanted, is Russian missiles flying over their heads. I mean Zel is a "dmocratically" elected president, who is representing the views of the majority, right?


"...Zelensky was voted as President with 73% of the vote by these very same people..."

Uh-huh. Zelensky wouldn't have gotten anywhere near presidency, if it wasn't for an illegal coup, which resulted in an illegal government being installed, which happened in a manner that breached the Ukrainian constitution.


"...I was there and have been there while all this was going on..."

Congrats to you, for joining a protest which has escalated into this war. You could say - you're one of the direct contributors to the current horrific events that are happening in Ukraine. Well done.
