The ‘occupied territories’ all voted to have closer ties to Russia but then the government got couped by the west, their political parties were outlawed, their populations were ethnically cleansed, AND THEN THEY VOTED TO BREAK AWAY FROM UKRAINE AND JOIN RUSSIA.
The literal point of the war is to deprive them of their vote.
That’s real fucking ironic.
