Russian troops have launched their anticipated attack on Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin has cast aside international condemnation and sanctions, warning other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences you have never seen.”
I am a bit OOTL about the situation in Ukraine following the 2014 coup. Who would Russia be protecting Ukrainian civilians against according to him?
It’s the protection of the citizens of Donbas against the Ukrainian military and the Azov battalion.
