Ukraine is not homogenous. Check the results of the election, I'm sure the East of the country (and by Moldova) wouldn't mind being part of Russia, the rest not so much.

- jacquesm 5y agoWhat you are sure of doesn't really matter though, does it? Elections in occupied territory, especially when there are substantial doubts about the fairness of those elections in those territories (see the article you linked) make it hard to know what is really going on there. And regardless, Russia has already invaded on the pretext that Ukrainians had launched attacks on those regions (which turned out to be staged) so I think we're a bit past that point now. Furthermore, there is plenty of evidence that the citizens of those regions are far, far from happy with the Russian invasion. Ukraine may not be homogenous, but it became a lot more united a week ago.
- rr808 5y agoIts virtually impossible to know exactly what is going on, esp in a war and like you said people's views change. The East really has been a mess for the last deacde. https://www.osce.org/special-monitoring-mission-to-ukraine/511327 https://www.osce.org/special-monitoring-mission-to-ukraine/5...
