> do people have a right to defend their culture on the soil where they are born
What culture, exactly? Because in April 2014 in Donetsk and Lugansk there were both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian demonstrations. The photo I linked could have been taken just as well in Donetsk in early April.
Then Girkin's team crossed from Russia and immediately started killing anyone speaking for Ukraine, like they did with Volodymyr Rybak.
