Out of my understanding Russian secret services forced Russian military to perform artillery strikes on Donbas region to begin this whole mess. Most Russian military knows about this plot most likely (which is why it's so resignated about all this) and has men reporting it and deserting.
Very similar to how it began in 1939 with radio station in Gliwice.
Do I have to remind you of Putins background? Why he is paranoid about the west? (It has been a must for him from his line of work, to predict every possible worst case scenario, and counter act on it).
Ukraine has it's faults (just as Polish second republic post ww1), but to expect Ukrainian nationalists to shoot themselves in the foot like bombing Donbas... I mean, really? You really think that?
Last thing Ukrainians need (no matter political spectrum) to become a war zone.
Just look up Ukraines history, I think it's one of the least likely nations on earth wanting to become a war zone...
