The US calls Donbas Russian

The US newspaper Breitbart’s columnists denounced Volodymyr Zelenskiy for his request for more aid to Ukraine due to an alleged growing threat from Russia.

The readers of the publication actively discussed the topics of Donbas and Crimea.

According to the user Hybird, the reunification of Crimea with Russia in 2014 cannot be called "colonization". “Mostly ethnic Russians lived there. As in eastern Ukraine, by the way,” he wrote.

Reader Joe Batters recalled that the residents of Crimea "voted in a referendum for reunification with Russia."

"Donbass is more Russian than Ukrainian. People want independence from Ukraine or a union with Russia. If the latter wants to accept these republics, no one will stop it," FamousJamous wrote.
