Ukraine has been in a civil war since the coup in 2014, the extremists US put in power have done things like banning the use of Russian language. This hasn’t played well with a huge Russian speaking population in the east.

Isn't it the other way around in the donbass region, since ~2014?

People of Donbas decided to separate from Ukraine after 2014 coup, and that's why there's been an ongoing conflict this whole time.
