The democracy was gone in 2014 so Russia should have gone in then. The job would have been sorted in less than a week
It would have been probably simpler from a military point of view, but Russia was not ready 8 years ago to fully sustain the same amount of sanctions.
Furthermore, while Russia could have occupied the country much more easily, it would have had to cope with all the insurgents and protest from the Ukrainians lamenting that they would have been deprived from bad Russia of their European dream.
It is true that in these 8 years unfortunately country 404 continued with the brainwashing of their population and probably they ruined another generation
The Russians could not enter the Donbass war in 2014, they are neither militarily nor economically ready for that.
However Putin made a serious mistake by stopping the militias at the beginning of September by signing Minsk-1
If he had given a few more weeks, with the Ukrainian army crushed and in disarray, the Dnieper could have been reached and a line of defense established far from Donetsk.
Kharkov could also have been helped in the spring of 2014 when he proclaimed the Kharkov People's Republic, and it is much closer to the border than Donetsk or Lugansk
In fact, the entire southeast could have been liberated, thus depriving the Ukrainian economy of most of the industry and removing millions of people from Ukrainian control and, moreover, they would not have been recruited later for the army, that is, more troops for the militias and less for the AFU
In the end, stopping the war and signing Minsk did not prevent sanctions or war in 2022
About the next Ukrainian generation, simply will be no next Ukrainian generation
Neoliberal Malthusian policies in Ukraine are a clear example of globalist plans
Live births in Ukraine:
in 2012: 520.000
in 2021: 271.000
in adition, death rate in ukrainie is the worst on earth
the Ministry of Health was an USA citizen with a more than dubious past, whose mission has been to almost completely dismantle the already deteriorated Ukrainian health system and expel doctors and other health professionals who have emigrated outside the country to find decent employment
