I thought Putin was responding to Ukraine persistently breaking the three Minsk agreements (a ceasefire of sorts), with their ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians in Donbas.
But what do I know.
Not a lot I guess
Yes, because reddthat libs clearly understand more than what CNN/NBC/ABC/XYZ western propaganda press says. You people were unable to point Ukraine on a map four days before Feb 24, and yet you pretend you're fucking experts on the region and its history, with your stupid smirks and remarks. You ignored the time the US empire (the actual aggressor) conducted two color revolutions in Ukraine, including one that ended in a violent coup in 2014. You ignored the broken promises and Minsk agreements, you ignored 8 years of the AFU shelling the living shit out of people in the Donbass. You ignored the US nazifying Ukraine and pumping it full of NATO weapons, you ignored the US unilaterally torpedoing the INF treaty, you ignored the nuclear-capable Aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland painfully close to Russia's borders.
That's the thing, though - they wanted to start a proxy war, and for that they needed to present Russia as the aggressor while erasing every single thing they did to provoke Russia into some sort of response. Otherwise there is no justification for "helping" Ukraine. Otherwise the narrative falls apart at its seams.
More like 4 including destruction of USSR and creation of Ukraine state to the opposition of 3/4th of its inhabitants and Zelensky being elected as peace and concilliation candidate yet doing 180 and intensifying the civil war.
Give an alternative source then?
Or are you just a tankie blind to thought?
tAnKiE bLinD... Fuck, there's nothing worse than a smug lib
Here you go - we're tired of constantly copy-pasting all the links, go ahead and look into the comment section, you'll find the relevant links there. That is - if you have the guts to look into them.
Edit: here's a bit more - mostly western sources. Still - a tip of the iceberg:

Yeah ok, but I read on Wikipedia that the 2014 ~~Maidan Coup~~ Revolution of Freedom and Dignity and Peace and Security and Prosperity and Unicorns was cool and good.
Checkmate.
Yeah, you can't argue with that...

Blasto, I'll go through them, thanms for being the only one to ever give a source.
At an initial read, some look troublesome (damn liberal russian affiliated outlets!) And let's not forget the racism in russia, you know 'the same people'. That is just a distraction, and you know it.
Wasn't it "the West" who came up with the idea of "Asiatic hordes" (which is repurposed Nazi propaganda btw), "orcs" and "untermenschen"? Wasn't it "the West" who spread the narrative of "relatively European, relatively civilized", temporary "white" Ukrainians when it was convenient for them? I don't think you understand what racism is and where it came from.
Historically, racism and "races" were Western European inventions that served the purpose of justifying hereditary slavery and colonialism. Here's an interesting thing - it never went away. One look at Gaza, Palestine or the Arab world in general should tell you as much.
Racism is also believing western "sources" are inherently, magically more trustworthy than any Russian outlets without doing any outside material analysis of the actual details of history. We do not trust either side, we don't have to - we analyze the information through a materialist ideological lens.
This seems like a sarcastic post one of us would make.
Are you seriously proposing that these Western sources are Russian-affiliated just because they disagree with the current narrative? Believe it or not, not everyone that disagrees with you is a foreign agent, and some people that agree with you are US government and allied agents.
Don't forget the brilliant "New Orc Times" thing liberals started doing when their own beloved sources started to turn around. Ah, emotionally investing in ideas never ceases to amaze...
