WOW!!! o_O
So you support Kiev's POV, which is a perfect example of "Big lie" technique in itself? How are you less brainwashed than those "Russian citizens"?
Ukrainian official media presents only one point of view as well, and EU takes this one-sided POV for gospel, believing those ridiculous tales about "invasion" and "poor oppressed Ukrainian citizens".

The last examle of extreme hypocisy of Ukrainian government is their declaring Crimea an occupied territory "to protect people", which in fact strips Crimeans of any rights, and prohibits all kinds of everyday activities under the treats of criminal prosecution - among them are selling or buying things, working for any state institution (aka "working for occupants"), which covers all kinds of occupations, including teachers in public schools & medical personel, and others.

What I see in this actions is a spiteful desire to "punish" local population under pretense of "protecting" them (with EU and USA supporting this pretence game). Now they are trying to "protect" South-East of Ukraine in a similar manner (or rather to salvage the territory. The people? Who cares...).
