Maybe you forget they owe billions in back debts from the collapse of the USSR or that Russian annexed those territories because ETHNIC RUSSIANS living there were being bombed for 8 years you nincompoop
"But the real ethnic cleansing of Russians in Ukraine began after the 2014 Maidan coup, once again ousting pro-Russia Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, and NATO powers initiated an eight-year war of attrition against Russia in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region by nurturing the Ukraine’s infamous Azov Battalion, officially part of the National Guard of Ukraine, that has been widely acknowledged as a neo-Nazi volunteer paramilitary force connected with foreign white supremacist organizations."
That's a funny way of saying "America Bad". That's also hilarious considering that Russia has a history of installing puppet leaders, and annexing countries.
You said nothing cause you know nothing about that region or the history of this conflict. Go back to watching MSM and leave this convo to this intelligent enough to discuss it
Then you should know that every country that had Russia rule over them experienced nothing but terror.

Forgotten because the Gullibles do not even know the facts .
I suspect Mod misunderstood your OP post -- without putting words into your mouth :-
Your laughter was aimed at the Gullibles and uninformed here not as he nastily twisted it , whether deliberately or not .
I get a distinct impression that Mod is an MSM headline reader and he is following an imaginary narrative that he is going to have to face with reddening cheeks . And soon .
Bakhmut is a key crossroad and transportation hub for Ukrainian troops and supplies for the Donetsk region.
The Russian army capture of Bakhmut will severely cripple the Ukrainian forces
Plus, show the world the determination of Russia to decisively win the war.

While I agree, it did come at a tremendous cost, over months and months of fighting. I don't know that in the end game, thousands of casualties can be justified for a relatively normal city.
