@RC-tv7hi "all of Ukraine's elections have been done in a warzone" do you even have any idea of the size of Ukraine. I have been there after 2014 and nowhere except for the Donbass, it was a warzone. So that statement is the biggest bs. About Crimea, it is not denied that a majority of the colonial Russian population voted in favour of joining Russia (the native Crimean tatar population voting against it. But eh, that's Imperialism and colonialism right? Who cares about the natives). The results of the referendum there were false, everyone with a brain knows this. The actual results were closer to 60% in favor of joining Russia (and we shouldn't forget that during this and after alot of Crimean taters and Ukrainians flet Crimea and were replaced by Russians, and old Soviet/Russian tactic).
As someone whom has actually been the Donbass, I can say that the majority in pro Ukrainian (when we talk about the entire Donbass, which the votes were about) whilst there has been plenty of evidence of pro Ukrainian people living in the so-called DNR and LNR were forced to flee or be prosecuted. The Donbass still is a majority Ukrainian region (both oblasts), only Crimea was a majority Russian, in this case Autonomous Republic, of Ukraine. Up until 2014/15 there was only a Russian plurality (not majority) in the cities of Luhansk and Donetsk, but not within the region they are. After 2014/15 these numbers have been altered after what we can consider an cultural cleansing of anything Ukrainian (as we also see in the occupied territories nowadays).

@RC-tv7hi the referendums by definition couldn't have been legal as they contradict international law as well as Ukrainian law (and the territories are internationally recognized as Ukrainian, imagine if someone occupied Kaliningrad and would then organise a rigged referendum). The only way this could have been a legal referendum would be a. If Ukraine organised it I all the whole disputed territory or b. If the UN organised it with the approval of Ukraine. In which case both Ukrainian and Russian troops would have needed to leave the areas and UN troops would be stationed there during the referendum as to make sure they would have been no rigging. Not to mention that the vote would have needed to include an option for all residents of the disputed regions to vote, so including those living in the Ukrainian held portions and those that had the flee the territory since 2014 (so that means both those that fled to other Ukrainian territories or Western countries as well as those that fled to Russia) and would exclude the voting of Russian soldiers (for obvious reasons) and include those of the DNR and LNR native to Donetsk and Luhansk oblast respectively. Had then a majority voted in favor, the world might have accepted it. Although the fact they forced the issue militarily could have been a problem. But even if the referenda had been held in perfect conditions, including ALL Donbass people and without rigging and threating people at gunpoint as well as having had actual secret voting, it would still have broken international law and wouldn't have been recognzied due to the fact that Russia organised them in Ukrainian territory. I think I will organise a referendum tomorrow about Leningrad Oblast, the Republic of Karelia, the Murmansk oblast and the city of federal importance Saint Petersburg, joining Finland. Ofcourse I am sure the result will be between 93%-99% in favour of joining. I mean after all we let all Russians here vote, who cares about those living there?
And the claim I made about the DNR. You can literally check their own statements about the voting. How's your math? As simple math would show you that between the first and second day, according to math, it would mean no votes has disappeared (funnily enough the Russian YT channel 1420 even showed this as well).
