Is that why Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk seceded from Ukraine? Because they hate Russia? They must have invited Russian forces to help against Kiev for the same reason…correct? Little green men from Russia.
By April 2014, Russian citizens had taken control of the separatist movement, and were supported by volunteers and materiel from Russia, including Chechen and Cossack fighters. According to DPR commander Igor Girkin, without this support in April, the movement would have fizzled out, as it had in Kharkiv and Odessa

Crimea’s primarily occupants are Russian speaking people. They did not overthrow anything. They voted to secede. Russia did send in troops during to Revolution to overthrow the elected President because they have security interests (Sevastopol).
Luhansk and Donetsk leadership were not overthrown by Russian forces. They responded to the unconstitutional overthrow of their elected President by voting to secede. You continuously repeat lies as though it were fact.
