That's where it's beyond belief the way the Kiev thugs have handled things. If they had a popular vote immediately after Crimea became part of Russia, I'd think they would've won. Why? All of those Crimean pro-Russian votes would be gone. Even before that, I wonder if there would've been a problem at all if they hadn't almost immediately removed Russian as an official language.
And now they're getting loans they can never pay back from the IMF and US to pay the higher prices for gas, rather than behaving like a sensible nation that could benefit economically from being the buffer between Russia and EU.
I doubt they could govern any worse than they're doing.
The can never be a fair vote because of past Soviet Russian policies of exiling Ukrainians and importing Russians into Ukraine.
This is the legacy and result of a tyrannical state. And now we sit and watch Putin slurpers, instructing Ukraine how to be “reasonable”, after Russia illegally annexes sovereign land of Ukraine.
This is a joke...as is the Russian propaganda.
