    The source stated that Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk weren’t included, which is obvious because those were under Russian control.

    Rendering the whole link irrelevant given that the discussion is about Donetsk and Crimea breaking away form Ukraine. Thanks for admitting that you linked an irrelevant source.

        The regions that joined Russia are the ones that were not included in your polls, and where the fighting has been going on for the past eight years. The whole point is that the polls are completely irrelevant to the discussion of what people in these regions want.

            None of which changes my original point does it.

            Then why use them to strengthen your agenda?

            The polls that are included in the image clearly show that even in places that were polled the opinion was divided. Meanwhile, demographic breakdowns from prior to 2014 clearly show why the regions separated.

            And if you actually bother listening to the lecture linked in the comment you can get even more context. That way you’ll be able to carry out an informed discussion on the subject in the future.

                I’m not twisting anything here. I provided polls showing the public opinion in different regions before 2014. You fixated on the one picture from 2015, which simply provides additional information while conveniently ignoring the bigger context. Then you accuse me of twisting things. Hilarious!

                    I’ve repeatedly explained the reason which is that the sources do not discuss the regions in question. Based on our previous discussions, I’m not surprised you’re still having trouble understanding that.
