So maybe the people in the Donbass were fighting with the Ukrainian

They’re drafted. They don’t decide. Moscow does. That simple.

 I don’t know who is putting forth the ‘purest’ fiction, but it’s not like
the networks are trying real hard to find out what the people in eastern
Ukraine are thinking.

Systematically finding out what the people in the occupied territories
think is next to impossible, because if living there you get under suspect
of sympathising with Ukraine you end up in jail.

I already mentioned this chap I know who spent several years in the
“isolatsiya” (just if you missed that one).

What you *can* find out however is how the people in
the government-controlled part of the Donbas think. And, as already
mentioned there is no support for any kind of “separatism” or longing for
closer ties with Russia.

But why do I have to repeat this? I had already explained this yesterday
night.
