This article paints a rosy picture for the 58% ethnic Russians. Sucks if you aren’t. The per cent Russian also gives a measure of the fairness in the vote. But that was never the point was it. FWIW the other Ukrainian provinces don’t go above 39% ethnic Russian. 17.8% Russian overall with the western provinces having 2% to 4%.

Exactly. Its a mostly ethnic Russian province.

Latest projection is 95.5% for joining Russia!

If it had been below a “9” I would have been colored surprised.

The major failure of that stupid, worthless Budapest Memorandum (Clinton signed it, ‘nuff said), was the failure to recognize that Russia would never give up claims on The Crimea.
