Too bad the UN and NATO changed the rules over Kosovo, so now it’s just the people in the regions that want to separate.
But don’t worry, if the Russians are as HATED throughout Ukraine, as the Neocons claim, then Russia will lose this vote...
Thanks for telling us all that you are really a Russian or maybe a Serb, not an American.
So which is it?
Bob, The minute the US overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 the Ukrainian Constitution ceased to be a relevant consideration for deciding issues of political obligation.

“Russia will lose this vote...”
Russia has begun preparations for a referendum in occupied Luhansk, though there’s “no need for them because the occupation authorities may count however they like,” the region’s Ukrainian Governor Serhiy Haidai said in TV comments Thursday.
“The true referendum result is that more than 100,000 people have left the regional center” of Sievierodonetsk that was almost completely destroyed when Russian troops seized the city in June, he said.
