How about HUMAN BEINGS in these "regions"? These are not "territories", as Ukrainian regime claims. These are POPULATED regions. How about asking people there what they want? How can Ukraine simply WANT these territories without people in them? Russia does not "want" these regions, people in Donbas and Crimea simply refuse to engage in Russophobia and refuse to hate Russia. They want the union. Ukrainian regime is trained specifically to organize strife, hate and separation from Russia forever. Historically and culturally, it is incredibly cruel and inhuman. It cuts through people's lives. It has been orchestrated by the Anglo-American powers since the pre-WWII times. Making Ukraine hostile to Russia. It is a monstrous plan. Union between kin nations is not "control". Anglo-American manipulation and enslavement is not "independence". The West has perverted the idea of living together. Making a narrative that "Russia controls". Get off our necks and let people live in friendship!
