@TRQPLW@Spiveyziev@DD_Geopolitics In April 2014 armed groups led by Igor Girkin, a Russian ex-FSB officer, seized Sloviansk. He later admitted he “pulled the trigger of war”. Locals didn’t need a Russian colonel to exist, but they did need one to get a “republic”.
@TRQPLW@Spiveyziev@DD_Geopolitics Polls in 2014 showed only 30% in Donbas regions wanted to join Russia The “referendum” a month later was held under armed control, with no real observers and no voter registry. In 1991 both regions voted for Ukrainian independence with 77% and 84%. People existed then too.
@qqwa_res@Spiveyziev@DD_Geopolitics Do they? Before 1992 ethnic Georgians were the largest group there, Abkhaz were under 20%. After the war 200k Georgians were expelled and never allowed back. Asking “the people who live there” after that is like polling a house after evicting half the family.
@Utsjoki_@Spiveyziev@DD_Geopolitics 1/ Nobody says Abkhazians or Donbas residents can’t want anything. The question is who created the situation. In Abkhazia (1992-93), Transnistria (1992) and Donbas (2014), Russian military, weapons and officers were there before any “state” existed.

@Lorenzo97912170@BENZINf50@WotBuwcheeks Ronald Reagan was an actor before comitting to politcs. Does it make him a puppet?
Did you consider the fact that Ukrainians want to protect its sovereignty and join UE like the rest of former soviet puppet states?
