This stupid war goes back to November 2013 after Ukraine's duly elected
president, Victor Yanukovych, refused to sign an association agreement
with the European Union at a meeting of the Eastern Partnership in
Vilnius, Lithuania, choosing closer ties with Russia instead...
Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov had asked for €20 billion (US$27
billion) in loans and aid, but the EU was willing to offer only €610
million ($838 million) in loans, with Russia willing to offer $15
billion, as well as cheaper gas prices...
Yanukovych's decision meant the country was turning towards the
Russia-proposed "Eurasian Economic Union," which was more popular in
Ukraine's East...
Western-oriented Ukrainians went to the Maidan square to protest against
the turn...
The Maidan protests resulted in numerous civilian and police casualties,
with Yanukovitch fleeing for his life in February, 2014...
Ukraine is chockful of corruptocrats (Burisma anyone?) --and Russia is
no better...
You even have Russia-favoring Cossacks in eastern Ukraine fighting
Ukrainian-favoring Cossacks in the west!
Such a stupid war....!!!
Only the military-industrial complex and assorted parasites win...
