ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Little green men (Russo-Ukrainian War)

Okay kiddo, let me explain little green men to you. Do you know what soldiers are? They are the people who work for the government and protect the country from enemies. During the Russo-Ukrainian War, there were some soldiers who wore green uniforms and masks to hide their faces.

They were called "little green men" because they looked like aliens from space, but they were actually Russian soldiers who didn't want to reveal their identities. The reason they were in Ukraine was because Russia wanted to take over some parts of the country.

But they didn't want to admit to sending soldiers, so they pretended that the little green men were just locals who wanted to fight for Russia. This made the situation very confusing, and it was hard to tell who was really responsible for the fighting.

Eventually, it became clear that Russia was involved, and they were violating Ukraine's sovereignty by sending soldiers to fight on their territory. This caused a lot of tension between the two countries and the international community got involved in trying to find a solution.

So, that's the story of the little green men. They were soldiers who looked like aliens and caused a lot of confusion during the war in Ukraine. It's important to always be honest and transparent about our actions, especially when it comes to conflicts between countries.
