Well... if you think a landslide for state sovereignty is not convincing, what would be? Whatever the actual numbers, what is clear is the pretense of a unified Ukraine is gone. Its simply a legal fiction - what Kiev and the West say of these referendums is equally true about Ukrainian statehood. It no longer exists.
Are the western tourists already flooding Crimea ;) ?
Did you happen to read the report from the Russian press on the election in Crimea?
It was a total fiction. So was this.
Why are you buying into this?
This makes no statement about the Ukraine whatsoever!
It makes a statement about what lengths Putin and his puppets will go go. How can you miss this?
Do you honestly think 94 & 98% of the Ukrainians voted to leave? Really?
This is the same gag line the USSR used for 60 plus years calling their elections free and open, and declaring the party members winners by similar numbers.
These elections have been total frauds.
