Remember that the Eastern Ukrainians have relatives living in Russia. The 'border' is a joke, even though MSM tries to make out they are separate. People hop over the border to work, or visit their cousin: This explains the orders to not shoot the 'opposition'. Most soldiers would not feel comfortable shooting their cousins.

The fight started because Kiev made a rule that Russian was not to be spoken in the Ukraine, in an effort to cleanse the filthy Russians: A region that is nearly half of Ukraine.

Imagine being told you can't speak your mother-tongue? Easy to say when sitting on your throne, pretending that you can dictate what language must be the 'National' language. This is why they wanted to become part of Russia. They were bombed for wanting it.

The Biden/Ukraine connection is just icing on the cake, isn't it?

Oh, and the Easterners live on the most fertile land in Europe. The Germans dug it up and transported it to their own country, in WW2. In the coming famines, that is going to be something to fight over, I suppose.

Many such examples.
