I really don't know what fantasy world you live in.
Sure, there's been conflict in Luhansk and Donetsk for some time but it really started when Putin ordered his Kremlin armed and funded goon squads into the region round about 2011.
These were Ultra-Nationalist, Neo-Nazi Militia's whose sole purpose was to agitate, provoke and terrorise.
They attacked official Ukrainian installations.
They intimidated and assaulted local Ukrainian nationals - who were in the majority.
They attacked non-Orthodox Christians and Jews alike.
There were deaths.
Predictably the Ukrainian government retaliated, sometimes quite brutally.
And so Putin got his wish and here we are on the brink of a possible WWIII.
And you're on the vinegar stroke of your wet dream with a nuclear exchange and the imminent arrival of your Future Russian Tzar.

Wait wait... if America blew up Nord Stream 1 & 2 doesn't it mean that Article 5 is in effect and NATO now has to go to war against America?
*starts laughing histerically*

He doesn't need such trivialities like evidence.
My only surprise is that he hasn't claimed he 'saw' it happen.

would also help if Russia was in NATO to trigger art5.
it's not regular take over it's the nuking of Ukraine that will go down.
What is 58,000 private mercenaries to gain the wealthiest region of Ukraine that handles the largest coal, steel, agriculture, etc of the entire Ukrainian country?
Putin just cut off 30% of Ukraine and made history!
The stuff in that region will enable Putin to further prepare the military for future reclaiming of Slavic lands and freeing more Russians from oppressive loyalists that are American, NATO and E.U puppets
