0·11 days ago@Buffalox I would argue that you can and should label it a war. A significant part of Ukraine had been illegally occupied (Krym), another part was invaded and partially occupied (Donbas, which is two regions), military confrontation with advanced weapons systems was a fact.
@Buffalox that is the Russian narrative, yes. But there is ample evidence that Russian servicemen and entire russian units took part in the invasion of Donbas. Most of the “local rebels” were actually Russian serving citizens. After all, “local rebels” can not operate complex weapon systems like attack helicopters, integrated long range air defence systems etc, it takes quite a bit of training to operate efficiently.
@Buffalox well no, the same year Russia began the war, they invaded parts of Donbas, and war has been going on since 2014. The same war.
@Buffalox @wildflower it’s the 12th year…
