        The invasion started in 2014. It was not an organic movement.

          I mean you’re not wrong that it wasn’t organic beyond a brief moment near the start of Maidan, before right-wing paramilitaries started sniping cops and massacring civilians and “volunteers” started showing up from both sides, but calling the civil war an invasion seems disingenuous.

          Not that that justifies either side supporting right-wing militias in Ukraine.
