What changed their mind after 2013, (only 23% favored joining Russia according to you), when they voted to align with Russia in 2014 overwhelmingly and then vote for Putin in 2024, overwhelmingly?

Yes, being forcibly annexed and occupied by a foreign military will tend to influence your poll results.

It was no different after the Nazis invaded Austria - the "fair" plebiscite conducted afterwards retroactively "confirmed" that the Austrian people had actually wanted to join Nazi Germany all along!

Gee, I wonder why?

Putin has never lost a referendum held under his auspices.
