> There are Ukrainians and Ukrainians. There’s no other people that want “other country”.

This is very untrue. East Ukraine is mostly Russian ethnically. Even languages are different in Western and Eastern Ukraine.

Before 2014 some guys who are now in Azov Batallion identified themselves an Russian nationalists.

While many things changed since, there are still many people on the East who identify themselves as Russians.

Think about it - Mariupol was taken by DPR troops and Crimean marines. Basically by people who live on territories Ukraine claims its own. Donetsk is shelled




Language!=ethnicity.
