Also why are there two republics and not one? And was/is there really genocide in Donbas? I know about the 2014 fascist led coup by NATO aligned neo nazis and all that, but I dont really understand about the situatoin in east Ukraine, except that they are mostly russian speaking and have pro russian sentiments (which the west ukrainians dont like).

Edit: Also what exactly is Minsk II, why do people say its dead and who broke it and why?

    I’m also curious why people think Russia isn’t imperialist?

    I think people reactively push back on this “Russia is imperialist” because it’s just recently been taught to libs as a stick to beat Russia with. Whether Russia is imperialist or not is completely irrelevant to this conflict. Are we to believe that the US/UK are not? It’s easy to look like you’re “supporting Russia” in general when you’re calling out western propaganda. It’s also easy for people to fall into a trap of actually supporting Russia when they’re defending it from propaganda. This entire narrative should be ignored for the purposes of discussing this conflict.
