The people who are depicted here did not care at all that since 2014 ukrainian shells and mines have been tearing to shreds and maiming adults and children in the Donbas. This began to happen in response to the fact that Donbass did not support the 2014 coup in Ukraine, in which the democratically elected president was overthrown. But this coup was beneficial to those who manage US foreign policy. Even, it would be more correct to say that they orchestrated this coup. And they continue to provide information support through controlled media. Therefore, you will never hear about the suffering of the residents of Donbass. But these sufferings were so great and prolonged that President Putin decided that it was necessary to stand up for them. Once, the communists gave Crimea and Donbass to Ukraine. Now it's obvious that it was stupid. 2014 ukraine was given into the hands of extreme national radicals. They brutally suppressed the resistance in all Ukrainian cities.
