Ahem, the real story is a bit murkier than you portray. Fact 1. The population in Eastern Ukraine speak Russian, not Ukrainian. Fact 2. The population in Eastern Ukraine had an internationally monitored referendum where more than 90% of the voters chose to secede from Ukraine Fact 3. The new "country" in eastern Ukraine established functioning governance Fact 4. The was a series of assassinations of the new political leaders in Eastern Ukraine. Fact 5. There are major oil deposits under the Black Sea just off Crimea.
War does not make peace. It just creates misery for many and huge profits for a few.
