Your gut feeling is correct. The Donbass consists of two Oblasts that have broken away from the Ukraine as a result of the Soros/Nuland supported "Orange" Revolution. MAIDEN was installed by Nuland and Soros. It is a neo-Nazi political organization having a hatred toward Russians. MAIDEN is on record advocating the genocide of Russians within Ukraine territory. The Crimea population is over 90% Russian. After these threats from MAIDEN were made, who controlled the Ukrainian military, and when the Ukrainian military prepared to overrun the Crimea, this is when the Crimeans voted to first secede from Ukraine to become an independent State, but when the Ukraine military started to move tanks and armament toward Crimea, they requested to become part of the Russian Federation, to which the Politburo approved.
The Donbass is also predominantly Russian. There was no issues with any secession movements prior to MAIDEN coming to power. Russian descent people of the Donbass actually started to experience the genocide from MAIDEN when the former eastern Ukrainian military divisions sided with the Donbass and defended them from further assaults.
Shelling between Ukrainians and Donbass military forces have been occurring since 2014. So, the shelling is nothing new. Russia has no military involvement in the Donbass other than strategic support.

You're being facetious. I'm providing well documented facts....they're actually incontrovertible.
