The truth of the war is, Ukraine made the first step towards war and nobody seems interested in covering it.
This wasn't the first step towards war. Ukraine didn't put themselves on this path by deciding in 2018 that they would try to join the EU; they did it by overthrowing the pro-Russian, ethnically Russian president in 2014 for obstructing Kyiv's aspirations to join the EU. If not for the Maidan revolution being a rather overt act of anti-Russian regime change (one that every Western conservative should have condemned, if only for the fact that the populations of urban centres like Washington, D.C. and London are far more leftist than the general population, and letting them overthrow any democratically elected government they don't like would mean the end of conservatism in government), Ukraine aligning itself with the EU and NATO would just be another disillusioned post-Soviet country seeking greener pastures.
