The actual problem here is that Ukrainian people are not a monolith. People in certain regions undeniably do want to be part of Russia, or at least have deeper ties.

This is not a Russian talking point. Authorities in Kyiv flat out concede this problematic dilemma.

They most definitely do not lol.

You cannot argue in good faith that the average resident of Crimea is pro-Ukraine. If you refuse to believe this, I cannot help you. Why do you think Putin's annexation in 2014 went so smoothly? The population was by and large positively receptive.

I don't think you're in a position to help anyone in this conversation, respectfully.

Yeah, great. In reality, if you as anyone in basically all of Ukraine (except for 'little green men' and the odd lover of soviet times), you get a clear message about how they've preferred a westward cultural and economic trajectory, and that ever since the war (or Crimea, depends on who you're asking), Russia is the enemy.

> Authorities in Kyiv flat out concede this problematic dilemma.

Im sorry, but lol.

Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, outlined in 2022 the plan to reintegrate Crimea. Assuming Ukraine could recapture it. It includes deportation of pro Russians.

Why is he spreading Pro-Russian talking points?

[aguaviva]

It includes deportation of pro-Russians.

Not of "pro-Russians", but of individuals who came to live in the country illegally after 2014.

It's hard to see why anyone should see a problem with that.
