They are not ‘pro-russians’, they are russian military attacking a sovereign nation.
Would you support someone coming into your house and declaring it theirs? storming it with a military and having a ‘vote’, and oh, surprise it’s now someone else’s.
Russia has attacked and taken over a country, they have stormed their bases, taken their ships, and killed troops. This is simply one country attacking another for it’s resources and land. It’s not about self-determination.
Kiev ‘coup’ was a group of students and others that risked their lives, 100 dead!!! to stave off tyrany.
How is defending your country a ‘coup’, but a one country attacking another and taking it’s land a ‘self-determination’?
