    They are freeing Russian-Ukrainians in Ukraine.
    Those have been suffering for 12 years.

    Ukraine had a coup and the new leader decided to oppress the Russian-Ukrainians.
    Zelensky presented himself as a peace candidate opposing the warmongering corrupt government,
    but did the opposite once in power.

    Large parts of Russia have been given to Ukraine in the past during the Soviet times,
    ironically to prevent invasion of both Russia and Ukraine from Western powers.
    Russia wants those areas back and those areas want Russia back.
    The Russian-Ukrainians in Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts
    tried doing an independence referendum before the war,
    but were shot and killed at the polling station.
