"Russian-Ukrainian war"? Then where are the Russian troops on the map?Russian-Ukrainian war

It's a hybrid war. If you think that this is a civil war, I'm not going to convince zombie idiots. WGEwald correctly compared this war with Spain. Then, Italy and Germany, too, was not formally involved in the war. I will not participate in the discussions. I am not interested. I will show map fighting."Russian-Ukrainian war"?

Read in full: Ukraine, the country no one cared aboutComprehension issues
Considering students in Ukraine, generally, buy their Degrees and Diplomas, rather than earn them, it is doubtful that those who protested at Maidan were actually aware of what they are protesting for, and I am not joking. Most seemed unable to distinguish a deep and comprehensive free trade agreement (the association deal), from an offer for EU membership which is another matter entirely. Many of the protestors (especially the students) were under a misconceived fantasy that they would suddenly be allowed to emigrate to or at least travel freely to the more prosperous West. This is not the case and was never on the cards. In fact, the only country that appears to be opening its borders to Ukrainians fleeing the current Civil War is Russia - the EU frontier remains slammed shut.
Contrast Ukraine's decay with Russia's resurgence. Since the arrival of President Putin for his first term in 1999, and through the Medvedev years, and into Putin's 'second coming' Russian GNI per capita has increased more than tenfold, from $1,272 to $13,711 and Russia's share of Europe's GNI has jumped from 1.9% to 9.8%. (Source - Kushnirs, for the record)
Meanwhile, in the first 21 years of Ukrainian independence (1991-2012, their GNI fell from 10.1% of the Eastern European total to 5.3% and real incomes have been static or even declined. The situation is certainly even worse now, post-Maidan. With this in mind, is it any wonder that Crimeans are so overjoyed to have been re-united with Russia and that a large percentage of the citizenry of South Eastern Ukraine envy them and would also wish to join the Russian Federation?
Thanks. I am also interested in the broader picture - the role of foreign interference, quest for control of resources, and disregard for human life.@pmaitra - you are following the civil war with full dedication. .
