    Russia is only asking for the Donbas you know that right? They aren’t trying to take all of Ukraine. The people of the Donbas clearly would prefer to be part of Russia or independent given they fought for a decade about it. Why should banderites in Kyiv and the West of Ukraine get to decide for the Donbas?

      Russia isn’t in any position to ask for parts of sovereign countries! Also it’s a lie. They said the same about Crimes back then.

      You will find in EVERY country people that want to belong to another one. As long as they are the minority it’s not up to them. This is not how it works. They can move if they want, but the ground belongs to the majority.

        So you support the shelling of the Donbas and repression of minorities? Certainly a take. The people of the Donbas don’t want the Donbas to be part of Ukraine since the banderite government began their repression campaign around 2014. They asked Russia for help as the majority of the Donbas is ethnic Russians.

        They can move if they want, but the ground belongs to the majority

        You’re also pro ethnic cleansing wow.

        Edit:

        All of this is irrelevant to my original point anyway. Which is that no matter how you personally feel about Russia, the war, etc. etc. etc. the people of the Donbas likely see the war as liberatory for them.
