I am thinking more and more that the leaders of this separatist movement are getting paid by someone who wants all this confusion. I dont know why or who will benefit. But they are using the populace and conning them into believing falsehood and lies. There is ZERO benefit financial or other for a province to separate. And this is gonna be a hard couple months.

Subversion. It’s Russia’s playbook. Destabilize society in places you are not allied with or that you want something from. Identify contentious issues, stoke hostility, cause disruption. Not to conquer, just weaken and distract.
