The Russian Government and the Donbass War

Donbass was fighting for independence but not in the initial stages, according to Boris and others. They didn't like this right-wing economics and rule of the Ukrainian oligarchy that came to power in 2014. But he said the Russian government under Putin got rid of these people. And he says within a few years, the left lost its power in Donbass. So he's now totally in support of the Ukrainian opposition to the invasion.
