Wow. 14,000 Ukrainians have been killed by Ukrainians since 2014 in the Donbass region. Heavy weaponry involved. If that is not a civil war, what is it?


> If that is not a civil war, what is it?

Russian invasion of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.

Ironically, since most people living there are Russians, it's Russians killing Russians in Ukraine in the name of Putin's delusions.


So the current war started in 2014, not 2022?


Careful now, you might not get paid if you use the w-word.


that is correct, the war started in 2014 by occupation of Crimea and eastern parts of Ukraine.

By Putin’s own words, he considered Minsk agreement as a capitulation for Ukraine. But Ukraine did’t want to capitulate, and instead took the time to rebuilt its army. For any Ukrainian it was obvious that Russia will invade soon to try to finish what it started.
