Ukraine's welfare was far better before the 2014 coup. You also seem to be homogenizing the whole nation, which shows an incredibly superficial understanding. Why do you think there was a civil war for the past 8 years exactly?

Gee I wonder why. What could possibly have been hurting Ukraine's welfare after 2014? Hmm, oh I wonder. Hmm let me think. Hmmmmm

Ukraine’s welfare was far better before the 2014 coup.

There are around 40 million people in Ukraine and I doubt they are all of one opinion.

Oh you're right I bet at least half of them really want a foreign country controlling their government and a corrupt state that is not responsible to the people it governs. Really I bet the loved Russian troops bombing and shooting them. Like who knows what they even think, right?

Ukrainians in the separatist regions were already being shot at for years. By their own government!
