This is simply illogical; rumors and empty speculation aside, what does Russia officiallyhave to do with the quarrel between the two Ukraines and why has it been punished for not being involved into the conflict?

Should Mr Putin have started military invasion under the disguise of taking care of the Russians remaining in the region being subjected to deadly risks out there?

Are you serious? LOL

Edit: Even if no one can agree whether Russia 'has invaded' or sent military into Ukraine territory, it's undeniable they have Russian citizens (Russian nationality) that have prominent military and legislative (plus territorial) roles. In particular:

Alexander Borodai (Russian?)
Igor Strelkov/Girkin (Russian)

That should be enough to understand objection and one could disagree with the sanctions as a response but it's one thing to assert Russia had no accountability whatsoever.

I don't know if my post will be allowed but I am not intending to argue or cause any friction. I'm just offering a perspective to answer the previous post. That's all.
