Seems all too obvious that those who see (pre-Bolshevik) Russia as their heritage will never want to belong to the EU.
This thread is rank with pro-Russian BS.
This referendum is not legitimate, it was setup by Russians for Russians, to take Ukrainian territory away from Ukrainians. Russians are a minority in the very regions of Ukraine they want to separate from. They are the thugs in the streets, killing and burning and taking over govt buildings. Are the Ukrainian majority in the streets killing, burning? No they are not.
The legitimate military forces of the Ukrainian govt are fighting back against thugs in the street that will kill anyone who is not pro-Russian in Ukraine. This is Ukraine not Russia, Russians have invaded Ukraine, Ukrainians have not invaded Russia.
Still it continues the Russians are the aggressors and cause of most of the violence. The Ukrainian military forces should drop them all at Russian border and they can have their wish to live in Russia.
In one post a Russian propagandist posts a picture of a woman with an AK-47 and claims she is protecting her home. From whom? What BS! She is standing in a parking lot. The parking lot is her home? Next picture of same woman with AK-47 she is patrolling the streets, she is not protecting her home.
Time to start calling this BS from these pro-Russian BS propagandists, Freepers.
I support a national election that all Ukrainians of voting age can vote in to elect a national govt, not this Russian farce referendum to steal Ukrainian territory.
