Ukrainians are nazis! They attacked us first! The people in these regions are ethnically Russian and want to be with us!
All bullshit, of course, but it won't matter. There's a simple question that should be asked of this bloke and others spouting this nonsense: if the Russians were only responding to being attacked in the areas which they already controlled, why did they attack Kiev in the opening days of the war (before getting destroyed up there)?
