Where have you been for eight years?

"Where have you been for eight years? " is a rhetorical question that has frequently appeared in Russian propaganda since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Recalling the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014, the question draws upon Russia's allegation that Ukraine had committed genocide against Russian Ukrainians during the War in Donbas, which involved eight years of sporadic fighting between Ukraine and Russian separatists.
