Russia as a nation has many things, good and bad. I'm against their stance against homosexuality if that means anything to you. But when it comes to the war in Ukraine, I strongly believe that it was the U.S. that started it 8 years ago, not Russia. At first, it was fairly covert, but there's clear signs that they played a significant role in the violent uprisings that led to the former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing the country for his life. There's certainly evidence that a false flag operation was done on a certain day to falsely portray Yanukovych's government in an event, involving an American man who'd been and perhaps still was in the military. I personally think the following article is quite revealing in that regard:

Indeed, I'd say they stepped into high gear during Euromaidan. But they got turbo charged once the Trump administration started sending them weapons to forcibly try to regain territory in the east that had essentially seceded from them after Euromaidan.
As mentioned previously, there is -some- evidence that they may have been involved in some of the darkest moments of Euromaidan. But there's also plenty of evidence that they were using "soft power" to oust former Ukrainian President Yanukovych as well. Here's an article that gets into that:

Indeed. Trump caved though. Had he not, I think it's highly possible that Russia may have never gotten involved militarily.
Which one? I linked to 2 articles.
Took a look at the article. Right off the bat, I saw something I don't believe. I don't see any evidence that Putin has ever said that "Ukraine has no historical claim to independent statehood".
That article sums up Euromaidan in 3 sentences, and makes absolutely no mention of the evidence that most of the 100 people who were killed were killed during what appears to have been a false flag operation. Again, I suggest you take a look at the article from Global Research above if you haven't already done so.
