It's pretty simple actually: Putin claims that they are sending "peace troops", because some rebels took over the pro-Russian government and installed a pro-EU government. Against the will of the people. If that is the case, why are all these Ukrainians giving such a huge fight against the Russian "liberators"? And another thing: Putin claims that Ukrainians are committing attacks against the Russian minorities in Ukraine. Guess what the 1st language of the Ukrainian president is? It's not Ukrainian, it's Russian!
