This question just goes to show how sadly simplistic the mainstream narrative has become. If you only listen to 'the news' these days, you end up barely knowing a thing. The tldr is that 8 yeas ago, two areas in the donbas tried to leave the ukraine and the western govt at that time wouldn't let them so a fight broke out between the donbas and the rest of the country. Ukraine has been shelling that territory for 8 years now and Russia has been aiding that same territory. What you see this year is the culmination of an 8 year feud.
Why would the Ukrainian government agree to them just leaving? You think that if some people decided to carve a piece out of a country, they should just be allowed to do so?
If Ukraine was really shelling them for 8 years, how come the area is not reduced to a wasteland?
Please provide evidence and casualties of the damages these "shellings" have caused.
When did Ukraine invade Russia?
They bombed Russian civilians in Donbas for 8 years, that counts as provocation.
Why would Ukraine bomb their own territory?
