it 100% is US backed Ukrainians that provoked the war.
Ah yes, tell us more about how Russia's sudden invasion and annexization of Crimea following Euromaidan was the fault of US backed Ukrainians.
Best case, you're going to blame this on the fact that native Ukrainians staged a revolution to remove their corrupt president that was trying to buddy up with the sovereign that has been abusing and betraying them since 1941. To which I say, good for them. The annexation of Crimea came during the power vacuum following that when Putin saw that his ~~good buddy~~ sycophant Yanukovych had been removed by a hostile electorate. Putin saw his slaves trying to make a break for freedom and decided to bring his fist down on it.
Any suggestion that Crimea doesn't prefer being in Russian Federation compared to under nazi rule committed to destroying them is delusional propaganda. Crimea was transferred to Ukraine in late 1950s. No one there had to bother learning Ukrainian language and little Ukrainian emigration occurred there.
How?
Shhh, go back to .Ml with your bullshit.
