1) there was never a "civil war" or "ethnic conflict" in Ukraine
2) there was never any kind of "Russian language ban"
3) The founders of the "separatist republics" were Russian nationalists from Moscow not coal miners from Donbas
If you host a panel discussion, correct your guests, if they use these false narratives, made up by the Kremlin.
Ukraine has never waged war against its own people.
Russian speaking Ukrainians ≠ "Separatists", they also love their country🇺🇦.
Putin's war against Ukraine is not about NATO, it is because he does not allow his neighbors to have a free, democratic and European🇪🇺 future and he wants to restore the "Russian Empire".
Ukraine was non-aligned in 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and attacked in Donbas. This is why the idea of joining NATO became popular.
It is not a big country, attacking a similar, smaller country, it is a dictatorship attacking a free, democratic and European country.
