Tim, Crimea, Donetsk, Lughanks, Kharkov Oblast have big Russian ethnic constituency, which is already inclined toward Russia upset that the formal language in Ukraine is Ukrainian and look down toward the “second class” of citizen the local Ukrainians. Ukraine is a multinational country of close to 48 million with substantial Polish influence on their western part of the country. In the south the Crimean Tatars were decimated and exiled by Stalin, received poor education and are discriminated for many years under the Russian. Many are returning now to Crimea only to meet hostile attitude form the Russian ethnic group planted there by Stalin / Brezhnev and who settled in their villages and fields In a nutshell Ukraine is a perfect country where Russia can pit one ethnic group against the other – that is the classic way of Russia to conquer take over a country and kill the majority of the inhabitants so the minorities would gain power and be loyal to Russia to enable to complete plunder of said country. The Russian have done it with Romania where I grew up, Annexing what is now Moldova and annexing Bucovina (now part of Ukraine) exporting to themselves all natural resources and grains – therefore Romania once rich in crude oil and coal has nothing today not to mention precious metals etc.
