Way to conveniently forget the hostile takeover of Crimea.

Also, something happened inside of Ukraine's borders is now provocation... For Russia to invade? Conveniently having amassed 150k troops along Ukraine's border, while the world has been publicly discussing their imminent invasion for months?

Russia decided to invade months earlier.

Just how much are they paying you, huh?

Ah yes, the hostile takeover that happened after a popular referendum and saw no resistance from the local population, very much violent, unlike Ukraine shelling Donbass for years of course, that was just defensive peacekeeping to maintain democracy in Europe!

Yes, because as it turns out it wasn't inside Ukraine's borders, it was a violation of the DPR/LPR's borders since Ukraine backstabbed everyone and decided to rip Minsk 2 apart :^)
