        I love how you’re hamfistedly trying to set up a loaded question here. Go read up on how Ukraine was put together by USSR, and where Donbas comes from originally.

          That in no way answers the question.

          You yourself mentioned the elections and thst they legitimize the intervention. I want to know in which way? Is it because the intervention was “requested by an elected government” and thus by definition represents the will of the people, or is it because the result of the election reflects the population’s desire for an intervention?

          But you mow seem to claim there is some third form how the intervention was legitimized that has nothing at all to do with the elections?

          So let’s take a step back: is the intervention legitimized by an election, and if so, which one, or is it legitimized by the historical composition of the Soviet Union as you now seem to claim?

              Yes, you were indeed quite clear. By absolutely refusing to say how elections legitimized the invasion, it is clear elections indeed did not legitimize it. That is why you pivoted to apparently saying that because Ukraine was once part of Russia, the population clearly must want it, even though it was thoroughly rejected already in the 1991 referendum (see how easy it is to mention a specific referenfum).

                    You clearly don’t care about the facts, and it’s not my job to educate you. All this information is publicly available, and if you genuinely cared then you’d learn what’s going on instead of trolling here. I just hope that one day you’ll be able to look back at what happen and do some introspection, but frankly I doubt that will ever happen.
