One of the interesting historical points about the Soviet Union was that the Russian areas of Ukraine (Donbass, Crimea, and other areas) were only included in Ukraine, to prevent Ukraine from being ethnically pure and thus easy to radicalize against the central government in Moscow.

Given what the Neocons have now done to Ukraine, it only makes sense to adjust the borders to reflect ethnic realities, which is, by the way, EXACTLY what the Neocons had NATO do in Kosovo, to set the precedent.
