I’m not sure.

I don’t really trust Wikipedia on political issues but here’s what they have listed as the language people in that region speaks:

Native language of the population of the city of Donetsk as of the Ukrainian Census of 2001:[58]

• Russian 87.8%

• Ukrainian 11.1%

• Armenian 0.1%

• Belarusian 0.1%

Native language is no indicator of anyone’s desire to be united with the “mother country.” Heck, I speak English and I most assuredly don’t want to be re-united with England. And Zelensky is a native Russian speaker too. So those numbers don’t mean anything.

[Cronos]

The language one speaks is not a clear indication of political affiliation.

Zelensky is a native Russian speaker.

And the majority even 90% of Irish speak English only. Doesn’t make them want to join the UK.

Neither do Zurich citizens want to join Germany

I have no doubt at the heavy votes for Russian sovereignty in the Donbass and the other regions, even by some non-Russians that lived under the harsh, dangerous conditions of the Ukraine rule. The 2014 treaty, from my understanding, has been totally ignored by the Ukraine gov't. and the Azov Nazis. The same for the peace agreement that was brokered.

Now I will get name-called, I guess, by overly-opiniated people.
