An Empire of Lies can be defeated by truth
In the early 21st century, history is recorded in a manner which doesn’t describe events in an accurate or realistic manner, but to simply cater to the narrative of western elites. The events of the War in Donbass and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict of 2022 are not the first episode in which blatant fiction is presented by popular media as fact, nor will it be the last. The authors of this document have no illusion that these aforementioned fictions will soon become commonly accepted history, at least in the western-controlled world.
The purpose of this document is to record various events of the Russo-Ukrainian War in chronological order, so that factual information and a coherent timeline may be presented. Starting from February 28th (the date on which this project was started), significant events will be documented as they occur, and tangible evidence will be presented wherever it is applicable. A few of the more notable which took place prior to February 28th are also recorded.
In particular, the myths that this document aims to dispel are:
• The myth of unwarranted Russian aggression on Ukraine
• The myth of high losses and military incompetence on the Russian side
• Myths and inaccuracies regarding war crimes, as well as actual war crimes (including military actions that fall into a legal and moral "gray area")
It should be highlighted, that these myths will not be dispelled via argumentation, but rather by raw reports and data. This data will not be cherry-picked - rather, all verifiable reports and footage will be documented. That said, it must be noted that the sheer volume of information around this conflict is enormous, and not all information can be discovered and logged on this page. The author's intent is to remain as unbiased as possible, and to record all events regardless of which side the information favors. Please contact the author if you wish to present information, images, or footage that can be added to this repository.
Lead-Up to War
-
February 7, 2019 - The Ukrainian Rada votes to amend its constitution, adding a clause which explicitly states Ukraine's goal to enter the European Union and NATO. The movement is passed with 334 out of 450 votes in favor.
-
May 16, 2019 - A report titled "Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground", written by the RAND corporation (US-based think-tank) describes for the US could strategically overextend Russia on multiple fronts. In particular, it describes how arms shipments can be used to provoke Russia into a war against Ukraine: "Providing more U.S. military equipment and advice could lead Russia to increase its direct involvement in the conflict and the price it pays for it. Russia might respond by mounting a new offensive and seizing more Ukrainian territory. While this might increase Russia’s costs, it would also represent a setback for the United States, as well as for Ukraine. [...] Increasing military advice and arms supplies to Ukraine is the most feasible of these options with the largest impact, but any such initiative would have to be calibrated very carefully to avoid a widely expanded conflict."
-
November 17, 2021 - The MosIndex began falling rapidly as mass sell-offs took place, suggesting that someone with insider knowledge already knew about the impending operation in Ukraine and its political/economic ramifications.
-
August - February 2022 - Ukraine is actively supplied with weapons and ammunition from NATO countries. Ukraine makes an official statement requesting for THAAD ABM defenses and AN/TPY-2 radars to be delivered to its territory. Figures cited include 1.5 billion USD worth of weapons deliveries and 1200 tons (as of February 14th). Notable deliveries include FGM-148 Javelin ATGMs, NLAW anti-tank weapons, and FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS, along with deliveries of ammunition, rifles, artillery shells, night-vision goggles, and other equipment. Mortar shells delivered by NATO are used to shell civilian infrastructure in Donbass.
-
2nd February, 2022 - Ukrainian president Zelensky announces his dissatisfaction with "every single article of the Minsk Agreements", thereby signalling the lack of willingness to adhere to them. This is later echoed in Russia, as Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov announces that Zelensky is unwilling to adhere to the Minsk Agreements.
-
19th February, 2022 - Ukraine's president Zelensky has threatened to revoke the Budapest memorandum and develop nuclear weapons for Ukraine. Russian military staff took this threat very seriously, citing that Ukraine has more means to create nuclear weapons than countries like Iran or North Korea, and already has the means to deliver them by ballistic missiles. Furthermore, most of the required specialists and technology has already been inherited by Ukraine after the collapse of the USSR. The danger of Ukraine acquiring nuclear weapons would be used by Russian authorities to begin an offensive operation, and to demand complete demilitarization of Ukraine. Later articles would emerge claiming that Ukraine possessed a nuclear weapons program from as far back as 2014, and that most of the raw materials, centrifuges, and other technologies required for a nuclear program had already been delivered to Ukraine by the United States.
-
21 February, 2022 - Citing Ukraine's unwillingness to adhere to the Minsk Agreements and eight years of shelling in the Donbass, laws prohibiting the use of Russian language in Ukraine, blockades, and other actions by Ukrainian authorities which are described as "genocide", Russia's president Putin signs a decree recognizing the Donetsk and Luhansk Peoples' Republics as sovereign states.
