People of Donbas whom the Ukrainian regime was abusing for the past eight years asked Russia for help to defend their lives and home. The atrocities the Ukrainian regime was committing were even covered by CNN in 2014 https://twitter.com/paulius60/status/1611148483859255296
Meanwhile, the west is not helping Ukraine, it's prolonging the war which results in more people dying without changing the outcome. This war could've been over last March when Russia and Ukraine almost signed a deal, but UK and US decided to torpedo it. If that's your idea of helping Ukraine then you need to get your head checked.
Remind me what started the civil war again?
That's an interesting way to say there was a western backed right wing coup that overthrew a democratically elected government.
