Fails GA criterion no. 2, see Talk:Historical_background_of_the_2014_pro-Russian_unrest_in_Ukraine#Original_research.
Fails criterion no. 3 because important aspects have been omitted, e.g.
- 21st century Russian nationalism and its influence on Putin's decisions.
- The existence of a Ukrainian national movement starting in the 19th century in both Russian- and Austrian-ruled Ukraine, e.g. Taras Shevchenko and Mykhailo Hrushevsky.
- The intentional suppression of Ukrainian language and culture during several periods of Moscow's rule.
- The Holodomor as a man-made (i.e. Stalin-made) famine which has shaped Ukrainian relationship with Russia to this day.
- The non-ethnic character of Ukrainian national identity according to many Ukrainian intellectuals.
- The colonial character of Moscow's rule over Ukraine.
- The importance of controlling Ukraine for the imperialist ideas of Russia's elite.
Fails criterion no. 4 because the idea that the conflict was caused by a rift inside Ukraine, is a narrative often told by Russian propaganda, but not supported by serious historians. I put the "neutrality" maintenance tag in March. Since then it has stood uncontested. Rsk6400 (talk) 13:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
