Always pushing the 'Donbas' shelling narrative without any sources.. you probably buy the sham elections
Why the feck did these regions vote in favour of joining Ukraine in 1991 if they wanted to be dictated to by Russia?
Should we have an election in every region in the world on whether they wish to join a country because they have a large percentage of that nationality residing there? Surely if they wanted to live in Russia they had plenty of fecking time to you know, live in Russia.
It's pretty well known that Russia has used the promise of land/houses to tempt desperate Russians to move to these areas, while deporting/torturing/executing any resistance.
