>It has watched the west play the mute during the last 8 years while the democratically elected President of Ukraine was forced from office (with the active backing of UK and US officials) and while Ukraine subsequently killed thousands of men, women and children in the Donbas.

A bunch of conspiratorial nonsense. We didn't ferment it and it wasn't a coup. The Ukranians weren't happy that the president was killing protesters. Why do these things always pretend that Ukrainians don't have agency?
