Garry, OF COURSE the people of the 4 new regions were Russian.
Took 8 years of being bombed by Kiev before they decided to have a referendum to join the RF.
In comparison Crimea had about half a dozen referendums to join the RF where joining RF was the preferred choice which was ignored by Kiev.
The "Ukraine" was an artificial crook and traitor led breakaway self governing region of the USSR since 1991.
I totally agree, but Russia accepted the existence of the Ukraine and their control of the Crimea until the people of the Crimea were in a position to decide otherwise, which Russia also accepted.
What you're saying is like saying "people from Moscow aren't Russian, they are Muscovite".
No. What I am saying is that the people in those eastern regions accepted being called Ukrainians by Kiev until Kiev started cutting off economic ties with Russia which they had quite significant ties to cut, and also Kievs demand to not speak Russian was a deal breaker, so they resisted but they didn't start talking about joining the RF till Kiev had shelled them for the better part of a decade and murdered those who were not anti Russian.
The whole country needs to be demilitarized and denazified right up to the Polish border but only half of it is worth incorporating into the Russian Federation.
I think you are being way too generous with the blue and yellow, and what is that shit over by Polands border?
I understand that after every conflict in Europe that Poland sneaks in and steals land when no one is looking... but not this time sunshine.
The Dniepr offers a good protection to Ukrainians. It will be bloody hard to cross for Russians. I doubt they will go for the western part.
If the Dniepr offers protection from artillery and drones and british missiles then that would be fine, but as it does not I am sure they will be able to cross it in lots of places...
With the fanatics they will have attacks every day if they annexe it just like US in afghanistan or Iraq. So until they kill at least 80% of them they won't push to take territory.
You mean like the Chechens?
The nutters were dealt with fairly quickly and efficiently... an insurgency in Afghanistan is not the same... they have nothing to lose... and living in a third world country is OK.
The kids of Kiev these days will surrender if the internet is blocked for a week.
