So, what do the citizens say about it? People who actually live there, are there any reliable polls regarding their preferences as to which country they prefer

So, what do the citizens say about it? People who actually live there, are there any reliable polls regarding their preferences as to which country they prefer?
Edit: No idea about Lugansk, but for Donetsk Wikipedia quotes some polls from a couple of years ago, and they seem to noticeably favor Ukraine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donetsk_People%27s_Republic#Regional_public_opinion_on_separatism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donetsk_People%27s_Republic#Re...).
- stfods 5y agoBeing pro-Ukrainian is super dangerous in separatist-controlled regions. Some people has died or has been tortured because of this. I think that most of the people from this region that openly supported Ukraine are now either in Ukraine or jailed/dead.
- EugeneOZ 5y agoOnly polls with the smoking barrels. Lol, it's so ridiculous how actually far western people are from the wild reality of Russia. So naive.

- skolos 5y agoI bet the polls will show overwhelming support - after 8 years of wall to wall Russian propaganda and extermination of opposition most think Putin is their savior from Fascist Ukrainians. (Source: I have relatives who still live there)
