> Donetsk and Luhansk and Crimea had 70%+ ethnic Russians with pro-Russia sentiment. The absolute majority sans the single digit percentage of ethnic Russians hate Russia with passion. And I am not even talking about ethnic Russians within Ukraine, but Russia itself. Russian Far East very seriously wanted to seccede. South Russians don't count themselves as the same ethnicity as Russians living in the Moscow at all. People in Urals, besides attempting at Urals Republic in early nineties, are still very unhappy about Urals, and Western Siberia being the poorest part of Russia, while their resources allow Muscovites bathe in Champagne. All other ethnic republics will secede in no time as well if given the opportunity. Russia will be the next Yugoslavia. This is what we actually need to be talking about Russia losing its oil/gas, or Putin getting assasinated, or just any major crisis = Yugo with nukes, and a civil war 10 times worse.
