No, I wasn't. The opinion is that Russia pays to fucked up people in Ukraine and sends their own fucked up people to create sabotage and separatism actions. 95% of the news Russia gives is lies, we even have internet memes about it because it got to such rediclous level that it's hard to imagine anything like that unless you're a complete pothead. And of course they send full packed military forces and protection for their 'agents', yet for the world it looks like it's just Ukrainian people want to go to Russia, when 90% of them are russians being sent to Ukraine.
There were real ukr guys in Crimea who really wanted to belong to Russia, and they were yelling how happy they were to be 'back' as they were promised unbelievable trasures and wealth and the standard of their live to rise like 20 times higher. Exept that it was all bs, and they realized it now when it's too late that nobody there gives a fuck about them, so their lives are pretty hard now in all meanings and they live like 20 times worse than before.
It's nice to hear you're concerned.
