This is not how it went down (note iβm not pro-Russia).
1. US backed color revolution kicked out the democratically elected (pro-Russian) president.
2. Eastern part of Ukraine (Donbass) gets angry because they supported said pro-Russian president.
3. Civil war breaks out between the west and east. During this time, the Ukrainian government bombard Eastern Ukraine with artillery fire killing civilians and forcing them to leave their homes for Russia.
4. Russia helps the east against west. The US helps the west against the east.
5. Russia occupy Crimea because the revolutionaries in Kiev wanted to kick out Russia from their naval base. Note that there was almost zero resistance because the Crimeans were pro-Russia.
6. At this point the revolutionaries in the west could have chosen to let Russia have Crimea and let the east separate from the west. War could have been avoided.
7. Zelensky (a former comedian) is hand picked by Obama administration (see Nuland tapes).
8. Zelensky refuses Russia to keep Crimea and give the east independence.
9. Russia invades.
10. We are now here.
It was a civil war that was started by pro west revolutionaries overthrowing the democratically elected government.
It became a war between Ukraine and Russia because Ukraine refused the east self-determination.
It is all the fault of the Ukrainian government who by all accounts were backed and appointed by US state department.
