Ukraine has been waging a war of ethnic cleansing in the east of its country. They have passed laws outlawing Russian in schools and in govt. When the war started 8 years ago, they turned neo nazi paramilitaries such as Right Sector and Azov Battalion into their national guard and let them do whatever they wanted to the free people of Donbass. Many of you will scream Russian troll, but much of this has been reported by western sources such as France 24 and Patrick Lancaster. This war did not start yesterday, it started 8 years ago when a people desired to be free. Ukraine has bombed and shelled civilians for all of it but this is where you draw the line? Donetsk was the industrial center of Ukraine. These are all working class people who don't want to be part of a government that has murdered their children for almost a decade. The Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics are workers republics led by the people, for the people. Do you all really think this showed up out of nowhere? The 'revolutionaries' of Maidan were Right Sector militiamen and their nationalist allies! Wake up, west.
