This doesn't surprise me at all. After all, the people in the Donbas are Russian. Putin is like Trump in that way, he wants to take care of his people. He is quiet and classy, so I don't think he would brag about it. It has been very obvious to me that he has ordered things to minimize civilian casualties, even among the Ukranians. It is beyond me why our government wants to fight a proxy war with the Russians. Putin is a good leader and it would be more in our interest to be friends. They aren't commies anymore, and they don't want to be either!

"They aren't commies anymore" is why this administration considers them the enemy.
