A little about Witkoff statements...
"These territories are Russian-speaking, and referendums were held there, where the majority of people voted to be under Russian rule" - Witkoff.
Okay, if Mr. Witkoff believes that native speakers can choose which country to belong to, does that mean English-speaking Americans should be part of England? Well, they are native English speakers, right?
Or okay, if he means ethnicity.
But then it's even more complicated... because the population of the United States is 98-99 percent immigrants or descendants of immigrants. For example, 31 million people said they were ethnically Irish (that's about 9% of the country's population). So now, by Witkoff's logic, part of the United States should belong to Ireland? I'm not even talking about other ethnic groups... including over 1 million Ukrainians.
I repeat, I write exclusively as if I thought like this person, and reasoned about the United States the way he reasoned about Ukraine and Ukrainians, and about its territories.
I am in no way questioning the independence and territorial integrity of the United States. And I want my American friends to take this solely as an example of parallels to the words of this man.
2. According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the land of Ukraine is the property of the entire people. Ukraine is a unitary state. A separate region cannot decide its own destiny without a general referendum.
Russia held a referendum that violated all international norms. On foreign soil and country... At gunpoint and in the presence of masked terrorists. Without a full and adequate consideration of the people's opinion. Part of the population of these regions was then on the territory controlled by Ukraine and could not take part in any voting. Another large part of the population of these regions were "refugees" and could not vote, since they fled from these regions in the first days of the war. Therefore, this is a false show... But even that part of the Ukrainians who remained on the territory occupied by Russia did not take part in it 100%. The maximum number of people who took part in the voting for one reason or another does not even make up 30-20% of the total population of these regions. And those who did, were forced to vote at gunpoint... which is already an international violation, and cannot be considered a legitimate vote showing the voice of all the people living there.
Let us also remind you about the real legitimate referendum in Ukraine, which has already been held and where the residents of Ukraine already expressed their opinion.
On December 1, 1991, a decisive event took place for the formation of Ukrainian statehood - an all-Ukrainian referendum to confirm the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine.
More than 84% of voters took part in the referendum, more than 92% voted for independence.

@hpkingiii@Daractenus Yeah they are. Critizism might bring jail sentence. What they say in public differs from kitchen table. I wonder how these polls are made to ensure anonymity.
