Imagine what would happen when Strelkov says that the combatants are made up of 40% Russians... I don't believe **** what that weasel says... Heck, even he himself is Russian...
It's only official source we have about presence of russian volunteers in Donbass. You can listen ukrainian media of course but they tell about arrest of tens of russian diversionists a day with no evidences, so ukrainian media are no more than a toilet paper.
Mothers of ukrainian soldiers want their children to go back home. Unfortunately, they say nothing about women and their children killed in Donbass by ukrainian army. Error

If the border guards open the border completely, volunteers from Russia will be 2-3 times more. Border guards only pass those who have military experience or military training.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Russia has been planning to "exterminate all the minorities - to wipe out their language, culture, population" - you name it, for quite some time already, like few centuries or so. The native people, the Finns, the Tatars, the Chechens and so on.
Yet amazingly enough everyone is still around, still speak their language and even still reside on their territories.
So go figure.
No, because the russification process was never finished, or put even in real long-time action. Never blaimed anyone (Russia). And the process ended with ousting of the Czar.

Right now it's impossible to know the truth what's exactly happening. Putin changes his mind every day, the separatists are all over the place, and the news are contradicting each other all the time.
But no, believing that there's an ethnic cleansing or genocide in Eastern Ukraine is just false. That would destroy Ukraine's dwingling reputation for decades and everyone would be Haagued in a month.

I always had the feeeling that it was a 'process' and that it would be brought about 'naturally'. But I'd say one thing that is glaringly obvious is that there are some who believe in the use of force to implement lets say situations that would constantly press for a more "Russian' outlook. The more that happens the more 'right sector' pushes back. There is fear all over the place.
