@Paul_Friesen @dangillmor that's an insult to the thousands of Ukrainians from Donetsk and Luhansk currently trying to retake their homeland.
If you genuinely believe Donetsk and Luhansk want to be part of Russian then I'm afraid you've drunk the Russian cool aid.
@jmaris There's obviously a lot of propaganda around. But it comes from both sides! Don't believe everything you hear in the Western press, either.
I'm sure there are people from Donetsk and Luhansk who support Ukraine and fight for it. But I am also sure there are people there supporting the Russian side. That's what war does. It turns people against each other.
