Sorry but that is extremist nonsense. Are you even aware that the war has already been going on since 2014, with 40000 casualties (afaik)?

- trhway 5y agoThe Donbass war was a typical separatist war which i supported (in particular i supported Russian military help as a way to equalize the military chances and thus force the peaceful solution by making military solution unachievable for either side) as i in general usually support separatists. Conducting that war, Ukraine for example has never attacked Russian territory, say Moscow or St.Petersburg, as it would be pure war crime unrelated to war. You seem to be suggesting that current attacks on Chernigov, Harkiv, Kiev, etc. are part of that war. I fail to see connection here. On Feb 24 Putin started a new war, not related to the Donbass war. The main goal of the new war was explicitly proclaimed by Putin as "Ukraine doesn't exist. Ukrainians don't exist. Anybody resisting to that is to be killed."
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoI don't know why that war is being fought, but for example the scenario "if Ukraine joins Nato, then further fighting in the Donbass or the Crimea would lead to war with Nato, so those territories would be lost" seems at least possible. And if Russians were murdered in the Donbass, even "we want to defend Russians in the Ukraine" could be a possible motive. The theory of "genozide on Ukrainians" sounds very implausible to me, given that there are several possible real motives for the war. Mind you, I am not saying it is justified, I don't know enough about it. Personally I would guess more is going on than just "Ukraine becoming Democratic is a threat" or "Putin has become crazy".
