Original Note:
Polling in 2022 indicates, if those who fled are included, the plurality of those in the Donbas would vote to remain part of Ukraine. Leaked voting results from the Crimean referendum in 2014 indicate that only 15% of the population in Crimea voted to join Russia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/15/russia-ukraine-donbas-donetsk-luhansk-public-opinion/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2014/05/05/putins-human-rights-council-accidentally-posts-real-crimean-election-results-only-15-voted-for-annexation/
