Ukraine was bombing the Russian-majority Donbas region, he’s not referring to Russian Crimea, though they did cut off fresh water for Crimea after 2014s illegal annexation by Russia.
In Donbas, it was Russia-backed separatists rather than Russian troops, although it was all part of the wider incursion into Ukraine by Russia at that time.
So, Ukrainians then?
Pro-Russian, Ukrainian paramilitaries who attacked and took over military bases and police stations, yes. What's your point?
Do you say the same thing regarding the Kurdish separatists in Turkish Kurdistan?
