The oppression of protestant sects in the Lugansk “People’s Republic” is a fact. I have family in Alchevsk that confirm it. Now that Russian passports are being issued in the new “Republics” we will soon see that it was all a purely Russian land grab.
Hungary issues passports to Hungarians living in Ukraine on a larger scale. Almost everybody living near Hungarian border is a Hungarian national. It is not Hungarian fault that few people want to associate with the Ukrainian state. Poland and Romania are ussuing passports to their ethnics in Ukraine on a smaller scale too. There is no outrage for some reason. I don’t blame people. It is the government’s fault when half of its people decided to opt for another countries.
Ask your family in Alchevsk about the behavior of Aydar and Azov battalions towards regular civilians in Luhansk.
The western press doesn’t like to talk about this sort of thing honestly, because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
