If you’re confident in your analysis then I’m sure you’ll agree that any region that wants a voter referendum on the issue of staying or leaving Ukraine, should have one.
You’re not against the democratic process are you?
Even if an oblast was a majority ethnic Russian I would still support an honest referendum in that oblast.
Why not ? Why not in Russia too ? Tatarstan, Dagestan, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tuva Republic. Mmmm democracy ?
