What load of crap.
The Ukrainian nationalists had to roll the military into Mariupol and have a shoot with police in order to get that city under their thumbs.
Right after the illegal coup in 2014, protesters organized a petition drive in Odessa. And, those that did so were trapped and burned to deal in a trade union building.
Why on earth wouldn't there be mass resistance to an illegal coup that throw a President out that most residents in Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea voted for?
Why wouldn't there be from ethnic Russians being discriminated against by a Ukraine nationalists regime that come to power illegal?
That comment is proof of what liar you are.
