A senior Kremlin official today warned that if Russia is forced to defend its citizens in the disputed Donbass region it would be 'the beginning of the end Ukraine.'
Tensions have soared in eastern Ukraine in recent weeks after Vladimir Putin dispatched tanks, helicopters and thousands of troops to the Ukrainian border.
Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskiy flew into Donbass today in a new show of strength as he shook hands with soldiers along the frontier which separates them from Russian-backed rebels.

That's what I love about Russia -- such kind hearts and gentle people! "We disappeared and tortured your country for 60 years, murdered millions of you, filled your peninsula with commie-jew Russians and on that basis filched it from you -- and don't try to keep this piece either or YOU'RE DEAD MEAT."

The US has been pushing the envelope through the Bush, Obama and Biden years. Now they are unloading ship loads of weapons readying for a push against ethnic Russian civilians in the Ukraine.

Actually, the Bolcheveks murdered millions of Russians as well.
Ukraine wasn't even a country prior to the formation of the Soviet Union. Eastern Ukraine was carved out of Russia, and western Ukraine was carved out of Poland, Hungary, East Prussia, and Romania.
The western region was in the past known as Galacia. It is they who fought on Hitler's side in WWII. The Ukrainians in the west see a Nazi war criminal who served in the Ukraine SS, Stevan Bandera, as a national hero.
As far as Crimea, it's been part of Russia since the late 1700's just a few years after the birth of America..
It had been briefly moved administratively to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine in the 1950's, which didn't matter much at the time since it was still part of the same country, the Soviet Union.
The people there still were Russian, not Ukrainian.
When the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine declared themselves their own country, Crimea declared themselves to be independent of Ukraine and named the country the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Ukraine ignored them however and would not recognize their independence.
The US forced Russia's hand in the US instigated coup against the elected government of Ukraine, where Russia wasn't about to give up the Black Sea fleet's home in Sevastopol Crimea.
A referendum was held where 94% voted to secede from Ukraine and rejoin Russia.
Russia quickly accepted their request.
