Pro-ruѕѕian media and trοllѕ say that Ukraine has been shelling the Dοnbas for 8 years, and has cοmmitted any number of atrοcitieѕ.
Let's shine a light on this question, and dispel the prοpaganda and the lies.

Firstly, to understand the situation in the South and the East of Ukraine, you must go back to Holodomor, where ruѕѕia ѕtarved much of the population in the Donbas to dϵatһ, and replaced them with ethnic ruѕѕians!

If anyone doubts that russian troops were fighting in Donbas in 2014, LOOK AT THE EQUIPMENT of these 'mysterious green men'.
This is equipment standard for the russian military - it's impossible for 'local groups' to have acquired this privately.

Donations will buy materials to reconstruct works of art to replace THOUSANDS of works of art destroyed in Ukrainian museums.

It's a standard line for pro-russian trolls to talk about 'Zelenskyy pocketing millions', and that no one knows 'where Western aid goes'.
This is all nonsense.
Let's talk about both where Western aid goes, and these accusations about Zelenskyy.
Thread 😎 1/16
First - where DOES Western aid go?
Well, partially, aid from the US and the EU goes to keep the country running - Russia is trying to strangle Ukraine's economy by cutting off our trade routes through the Black Sea and sinking our civilian cargo vessels.

Our rail lines are Soviet gauge, while European lines have a different gauge - this means that our trains cannot simply leave Ukraine and enter Europe - the rail lines are not compatible! All this chokes off our trade, and our economy.

Since the first rise of the Soviet Union, russia determinedly tried TO CONQUER THE WORLD.
Their goal was nothing less than converting the WHOLE WORLD to their 'socialist paradise'. 1/5
To this end, they manipulated nations, offering poor nations in Asia and Africa shipments of russian arms (what ELSE does russia really have to offer?) & placing military and political 'advisors' around the leaders of such nations, to help bring them into the 'Soviet World'. 2/5
Lots of people in Asia and Africa complain about 'US interference in world politics'.
So, let's take a look at what the world would have been like if the US had NOT interfered, had not countered russian moves for world domination EVERY STEP OF THE WAY....

How the world LET Putin SURVIVE when he would have fallen...
We look at Putler today, and we see him firmly in control of his nation - and making horrific war against another nation. But there was a time when his hold on russia was far more shaky.
Long thread 1/21 😎
Let's go back to 2012.
In the year 2012, Russians were expressing deep frustration with Putin's rigged elections and refusal to step down. Protestors formed a ten-mile chain around Moscow, with hundreds of cars bearing carnations and white ribbons honking in support.

At this time, Russia's middle class were already aware that their 'elections' were a farce, and that they were being given no real choice by Putin.
And they were VERY unhappy with Putin's arrogant flouting of their wishes.
