Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea seceded from the Russian controlled government in Kiev?

I have no idea what point you think you are trying to make in this post, but Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea were invaded by Russian troops. They did not "secede" from anywhere. They were conquered.

So there was no Euromaiden Revolution? There were no disenfranchised voters in East and South Ukraine?
