  All of eastern and southeastern Ukraine are historical Russian territories given to Ukraine to administer by the communists during the years of the Soviet Union, all the cities from Odessa to Kharkiv and in between are Russian founded cities, that's the reason the people in those areas speak Russian and not Ukrainian. During the years of the Soviet Union people moved around to work in different industries, but they did not come to that area in mass like you're leading to believe. Today, there are over 10 million Ukrainians living/working in Russia, and that happened mostly during the years of the Soviet Union. The main reason why this war is going on its due to security, Russia does not want to be encircle by NATO nor do they want western offensive weapons near its border.

  There is no Russian invasion. Russia and Ukraine got along well if America did not interfere, as usual, with hatred. America has interests in robbing both Russia and Ukraine, and here is the root of the conflict. An in-depth study shows as clearly as possible that the biggest terrorist in the world is the American state. Before the Russians intervened, after eight years of heinous crimes committed by Ukrainian extremists supported by the United States against the Russians, Ukraine was already destroyed and sold to America.

  Its a buffer zone, its a land bridge to Russias strategic deep sea port at Sevastopol and its cultural and political - the Donbass population is interlinked by familial and language ties, and by anti fascist politics, to Russia.

  I studied/lived in Lviv, Ukraine between 2001 and 2008, hence, I can say I know a bit about the politics, dislike and distrust among Ruskies / Ukrainians, etc. The Russians have always been like big bro to the Ukrainians. Matter of fact, when there were high profile criminal cases in Ukraine that couldn't be solved, experts were brought in from Russia to look into such cases. The hate was there but never in my life time did I think both nations will carry arm against each other. ( The far right in Ukraine that overthrew democratically elected president Ynukovich, were secretly trained and funded since the early 2000's for this ongoing conflict) So, my suggestion is this - the reason for this conflict is way bigger than the natural resources of Ukraine, or the the difference in languages between these 2 countries. There is only one major reason the Russians picked up arms, annexed Crimea, entered Donbass, and that is because NATO, Black-Rock, West in general want to carve and break into smaller territories one of the regions on Earth that holds very high amount of every natural resources you can imagine. From soil, to copper, gas, oil, gold, uranium, etc. They want Russia, Ukraine is just the stepping stone. This is way more than Putin's war, the deep state of Russia knows what the West is after, and it will be disastrous if Russia collapses, because all these small ethnic groups, i.e., Dagestan, Chechnya, Kazan, Novosibirsk, etc, will break away and what will be left of Russia will be invaded / looted and Russia might seize to exist - Existential Threat. If this is the plan of the elite West, (US Corporation, Blackrock, Bilderberg Group), to carve up Russia and take its resources, then the Russians have come up with a counter measure, which is to collapse NATO / EU, and possibly the US. To do this, they've dared to create BRICS , to weaken petrol Dollar, Euro currency and the Western hegemony and control over the banking sector, Resources, Weapons. The Russians have further set aim on other smaller targets where the collective West plundered for resources, i.e., African countries. This is a very dangerous game/ fight between the West and the Russians as the end goal for one is a ONE WORLD ORDER, while the latter thinks of a Multi-Polar world.

  16:08 Yes, they came aprox 40% from russia and 60% from ukraine. Those who strongly identified as russians made approx 30% of population of this regions before conflict, so significant but still a minority. They are generally the ones who had strong russian sentiment and felt opressed by necessity to learn ukrainian language, as they've seen it as an abuse to proper russian. Even they could otherwise speak russian in public, as eastern ukrainians speak more or less russian too. And this is the point used by russian propaganda - western people do not understand that there is quiet a difference between russian speaking eastern ukrainians and those who identify as russians, even they all speak the same language. By the way, there was very interesting recent experience of czech journalists. They asked western and eastern ukrainians about their wiew. Of course estern ones are tired more from war that westerners and would wish the peace. But surprisingly it is at same time them, the easterners, who can't bare that any land there would be exchanged for it....

  Why? How about the fact that the area is historically populated by the ethnic Russians. And the fact that they were being killed off by Ukrainian army from 2014 to 2021? Russia supported Minsk agreement that would provide territorial integrity of Ukraine while federalizing the state and giving fair rights protection for the Donbas and other regions. But, as Angela Merkel admitted, it was a sham from the West and Ukraine. They only wanted time to make Ukraine military stronger to finish off Donbas and confront the Russians. Too bad, now they are suffering the consequences.

  Russia has more than enough natural resources of its own. The conflict was never about Russia wanting the resources under the ground. It is all about NATO expansion, about protecting ethnic Russians from people with mustached-man ideology, and about Ukraine remaining neutral. It was a totally avoidable conflict, and Russia and Ukraine had even agreed to a deal both sides were happy with, until Biden/Blinken sent Boris to Kiev to stop the deal because the US wants the resources of Ukraine (Lindsey Graham recently admitted this) and Russia (by overthrowing the democratically elected government of Russia and Balkanising Russia).

  From what I have seen and interviews I've watched, Russia is concerned with the persecution and murder of Russian-speaking people by Ukraine. Ukraine, on the other hand, quite openly would kill or remove the citizens of the Donbass in order to gain complete control over the geological resources of the Donbass area. Back in 2014 and onwards there have been interviews with Ukrainians saying exactly that.

  That's my view also. Ukraine has been engaged in a civil war for almost ten years now. A battle between the Nationalists and the people of Russian descent living in the East, referred to as muskovites by Kiev, and separatists by the West. Both being derogatory names. What has happened that the Western free world thinks it's ok to support the genocidal Nationalists. It's bonkers.

  The Donbas has always been Russian. The US has been interested in spreading its interest into the Ukraine for years going as far to sponsoring the coup that started this conflict.

  All the Russian speakers in Donesk are immigrants from Russia sent there to work in the coal industry. The area was populated by Cosaks before. Many Ukrainiens have studied in Moscow and St Petersbourg Universities without learning Russian. Both languages are very close. The ethnic problem in Dombass is a forgery. USSR has been functionning on "goulag slaveship" for 70 years. Cheap manpower that enabled the construction of highways, pipelines, Artic Circle inflastructure. Now, they want to make hundred thousands prisonners in Ukraine to have again this large "goulag slaves" at arms lenght.

  2 A lot of corruption seems to have held Ukraine back. 2010 electoral system saw pro independent president elected. Some very opposed to this but it was classed fair election by foreign observers. Enter then USA STATE DEPT. Financed 2014 coup which turned very violent. People burned alive in Odessa, Tanks on the streets of Mariapol. (BOTH russian speaking cities.) Army split, navy split...civil war. UN involvement saw agreement and US resolution 2010 (2015) adopted by ukr, & break away areas. This ensured Ukraine ownership if Ukr let Russian language & culture alone and allowed those areas to elect own governors. We now know from France&German sources that agreed peace process was not to be attained but Ukraine was to be re-armed..well we know what happened since. Russia does not need Ukraine resources..it has plenty elsewhere in the Federation. This is about US hegemony and giving the green light to Ukr nato aspirations since 2008 Thinking strategist at that time said this would lead to war S Russia said Ukr in Nato with US missiles was a red line.

When Minsk Agreement failed, Russia acted in its own interest and the interests of the Donbas Russians. Crimea was about keeping NATO navies out of Sevastopol.

  The Donbass region was transferred from Russia to Ukraine by Lenin. In this way, the Communists fought the White Movement. The counterrevolutionary movement of Russians. At the same time, they tried to bribe Ukrainian nationalists. Crimea was transferred to Ukraine by Khrushchev, the ruler of the USSR of Ukrainian nationality. He based the transfer of Crimea on the fact that Crimea is located closer to Ukraine, and its logistics are easier to connect with Ukraine than with Russia. One of the reasons for the war is the ultra nationalism of western Ukraine. Western Ukraine has always been under the influence of Poland, and was anti-Russian. After the revolution, part of Western Ukraine was occupied by Poland. These are the very lands that Hitler will offer to reclaim the USSR after the Nazis invaded Poland. During the occupation of Poland, Ukrainian nationalists under the control of Bandera, fought against the Polish occupation. After the entry of Hitler's troops into these areas, the Ukrainian nationalists collaborated with them, carrying out acts of genocide of the Russian, Polish, and especially the Jewish people. For a long time after the Second World War, detachments of Ukrainian nationalists continued to resist the Red army. More precisely, not the Red army, since they attacked mainly the civilian population. During the collapse of the USSR, former Soviet members of the local government came to power in Ukraine. In fact, it was pure corruption. Ukraine in the USSR was the second richest and most technologically advanced republic. A few years after the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine became the poorest country in the world, with the highest level of corruption and almost complete absence of industry. Ukrainian nationalism began to revive among the impoverished population. In 2014, a coup organized by the United States took place, after which Ukrainian nationalists came to power. Now Hitler's henchman Bandera is a national hero of Ukraine. The Russian Russian language has been banned in Ukraine, and the study of Russian culture has been removed from schools. The harassment of the Russian population in the Donbas regions began. By that time, Crimea had already withdrawn from Ukraine. But the United States was going to return it militarily, arming Ukrainian nationalists. These are the reasons for the ongoing war. About geology. For all the time since the collapse of the USSR, not a single new mine, not a single oil or gas production has been opened in Ukraine. Geologists of the West have not gone beyond the exploration of deposits. Why? It is impossible to build anything in a country with corruption of this level.
