For starters, not orchestrating the 2014 coup, not shelling the Donbas on Feb 16 2021, not violating the Minsk agreement would have helped. The laws Ukraine passed that made Russian speaking Ukrainians second class citizens were also egregious. Keeping promises that assured Russia NATO wouldn't encroach would be useful. I don't know if this situation can be resolved with the current administration. I think it will take new leadership to negotiate away from the brink. I'd like to see RFK in there even if he had a chance.

  What happened specifically in the Donbas on Feb 16, 2021? And from what sources do you know this from?

      Again, please tell us in your own words: What actually happened? The article refers to shelling done mostly by Russian forces.

        Russian forces weren't invading until Feb 24. And you asked for a source. There are better sources if you care to google a bit.

        Russian forces weren't invading until Feb 24. Are you sure about that?
