Lewdog88: The entire Ukraine, but particularly the West, were under duress preceding the war. The main questions raging were, do we align ourselves with the West? Accusations of former leanings/alignments with the Nazis were thrown about; the many ethnic Russians felt they rather stay with Russia - it was only after 2014 and under the present Prime Minister that the ethnic Russians of the Ukraine have been confirmed in their use of Russian as a recognised language, worthy to be taught etc. I don't know the actual percentage of ethnic Russians in the Ukraine, but that can be found out easily. BTW I am not Russian, nor Ukrainian.

I was replying to the fact that another user was implying that any ethnic Russians in Donbass were in danger by the Ukrainian government and that's the reason why Russia is involved.
