They voted in those regions several years ago and rejected aligning with Russia by an overwhelming %.
There is significant pro-Russia populace in those areas, but it’s about 30% if I remember the results correctly. The overwhelming majority voted to stay with Ukraine.
peace to you
You denied the facts that he just presented to you. You have denied (likely do not know) the history of the region. Here is some facts for you. You heard it here first. And I got it last. Ukraine, because our great leadership (not) has lost 4 territories. If they don't do the right thing and reach a deal with Russia are going to lose 4 more Territories. Forever. It is virtually impossible for Russia to lose. Our so called great leadership (not) knows this (they are stringing you along). But our leadership does not give one hoot about Ukraine. We are pouring in weaponry to bleed the Russians. Doesn't matter that it cost 10,000 Ukrainian lives to kill a few thousand Russians. Our goal is to bleed Russia in proxy war. Unfortunately our great leadership (not) does not give a hoot about the Ukrainians, Afghans, Iraqis, Lybians, Arabs in general. Germans, French, Italians we are making them buy gas from us at inflated prices that they can't afford. Why are we warmongers? Why does the American people put up with Warmongering? You would think that we learned our lessons from Afghanistan, Iraq and Lybia. None of those counties are better because of us. Ukraine will have lost 100,000's of men and 40% of it's territory when this is over. On a grade we get an F for helping destroy other nations. But our corporation's will make billions off of it though, just like off of all the other countries. It will cost us in billions of tax dollars (the American people, we, lose). There is also an alliance against us, called bricks+. Russian, China , India, Iran, Brazil, plus other who have seen how we are going after Russia. They know they are next after Russia. They are seeking to break free from our control. To be free from our control.
