> There was no genocide by Ukrainians in Donbass, this Russian propaganda has been a persistent narrative that has any had a single word of truth to it.

I used double-quotes, mostly because both sides claim a genocide. It's clear that both are at war. A dirty fact of war is that civilians are going to die in the war and both sides are going to lie about every aspect of the war. That is not different this time and we ("the west") are not a neutral observer.

This war feels forced especially with the western interference in the coup-d'état that led to the banishment of Yanukovych. The western narratives surrounding it make no sense at all, but we can probably agree that an elected government was replaced by a movement funded by EU and helped by the US.

We ("the west") forgot the value of peace I think or respectively what war entails.
