We have extremely many ties with Ukraine - cultural, spiritual, economic

We have extremely many ties with Ukraine - cultural, spiritual, economic. We have hundreds years of common history. After brake up of the Soviet Union more than half the Ukrainian population spoke Russian.

Ukraine quickly became anti-Russian after the first Maidan uprising in 2004, and the West reinforced this trend.

The Ukrainian government idealistically believed that as quick as it will cut off ties with Russia, join the EU and NATO, it will get billions of profit and benefits.

Multinational Ukraine was turned into mono-ethnic state by Zelensky. Russians and Russian speaking people were supposed to be aliens in Ukraine, many laws have been taken that prohibited using of Russian language and education in Russian.

Humiliation of Russian people in Ukraine, the offensive against Donbass, and failed Minsk agreements are the origins of the Ukrainian conflict.
