And then ???
It’s called a border war, and this type of confict is quite common in that part of the world. No one is really at fault here, but I still wonder why exactly Kiev launched their recent minor offensive. Was it a more or lesd failed attempt to gain the upper hand without igniting a full scale war? Was it a reaction to Dombasser actions? Both?
