Russia began its military operation one day before the Ukraine army was to begin the invasion and slaughter of the free Republics in the east... (You didn't get that on FOX or CNN, did ya?)
This is how the world works today. Prevent a planned genocide, and you get blamed for "unprovoked aggression."

CONFIRMED by the Duma.
Russian 'Operation Z' started ONE DAY ahead of the invasion of Donbass by the Ukrainian Army.
GRU was receiving operational intel minute-by-minute.
So "Russia was left with no choice."
A pre-emptive operation to prevent a massacre (of LPR and DPR).
