What do you include as SE Ukraine and where is your link to a poll or whatever? Is Kremenchuk inside of SE Eastern Ukraine?About 70 to 80% of SE Ukraine can't wait to "be annexed" by Russia, FYI. And it's more than 15 million people. I am so sick and tired from discussions about Ukraine by people who see its situations with the eyes of Western or Ukrainian media (they are singing the same song and misinforming their listeners). And besides half a country does NOT want any association with EU. Last year the people wanted to have a referendum about it, but it was never allowed (probably the results were too obvious).I do not know a single Russian speaking Ukrainian that wanted or wants to be annexed to Ru. Not one.
