This war started in 2014 when a foreign funded protest was created to overthrow a democratically elected (albeit corrupt) government. This government then responded to local demands for autonomy in minority provinces by attacking them with neo-Nazi militia for the past 8 years.

Do you genuinely believe that the top levels of Russian government care about the people of DPR and LPR? If you do, then you're a fool. If you don't, then you're a liar.

That's just retroactive rewriting of history. These "local demands for autonomy" where a violent, foreign funded, uprising. It was about to be crushed by the legitimate Ukrainian military which was in turn crushed by the Russian army. The Neonazi militias occured afterwards and filled the power vacuum left by Ukrainian army.
