This is something the western mainstream media should be telling you.

The war in Ukraine started in 2014 with a Western-backed coup that overthrew the democratically elected President Yanukovych, paving the way for the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, and Crimea to break away from the corrupt puppet regime in Kyiv.

Twice, Vladimir Putin tried to negotiate a peaceful resolution through the Minsk Agreements, but Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron deliberately sabotaged these efforts, using Ukraine as nothing more than a proxy to provoke Russia while flooding it with weapons.

For eight years, the Ukrainian army and neo-Nazi death squads mercilessly bombed and massacred the people of Donbas, killing thousands of innocent civilians simply for refusing to submit to Kyiv’s rule.

Beyond NATO’s reckless expansionism, Vladimir Putin had a duty to defend the people of eastern Ukraine from relentless terror and bloodshed.

This is something the western mainstream media should be telling you.
But they won't......
