The Ukrainian coup of 2014 was backed by a NATO country (USA). There are plenty of documents, that can be freely accessed on the internet, that serrve as evidence of the fact, that NATO had it's eyes on Ukraine ever since it became independent in 1991. USA's involvement with Ukrainian territories goes back as far as the end of WW2. I provided all the evidence for this fact in another thread, titled CIA: Nazifying Ukraine since 1953.
Everything that followed the 2014 coup was a consequence of USA's meddling in Ukrainian internal affairs.
The Russians did not cross the border in Crimea. They were already in Crimea as a part of a Russia-Ukraine naval base agreement. So you are factually wrong. Unless English is your second language, and you are assigning your own meaning to words that have a completely different definition in the dictionary
Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk regions conducted referendums. Crimea ultimately decided to join Russia. Donetsk and Lugansk became independent. While Donetsk and Lugansk requested to become a part of Russia, Russia turned down their requests, to avoid any further escalation of the conflict. Russia placed their hopes on the Minsk agreements. Which Ukraine ultimately used to gather strength and resources, and initiate a full-out war against what it allegedly considers as it's own territories and it's own people.
Fast forward to 2022, DPR and LPR signed a series of treaties and agreements with the independent republics of Donets and Lugansk. One of the agreements concerned military co-operation. That agreement enabled the Russians to deploy their army in DPR and LPR, in order to help them fight off against Ukrainian aggression.
These are facts. Freely available on Wikipedia, if that's your main source of information.
Please stop spreading lies and anti Russian propaganda.
