Russia sends peace keeping forces in regions that are resisting NATO

Russia seeks demilitarization and 'de-Nazification' of Ukraine

Putin initiated the beginning of the end of a war that started with the 2014 US coup in Ukraine. In fact it’s the end of NATO’s 30 year effort to endlessly expand & threaten Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Ukraine’s sovereignty ended in 2014 when the US overthrew its democratically elected leader in an illegal coup and installed a puppet government.

At least 13,000 people have died in fighting since then in a war fueled by US weapons and neo Nazi militias. This war did not begin tonight. #Ukraine
