  1. Donbas in 2013-14 was a local coup supported by Putin. The people who wanted to become a Russian colony are a small minority. Those in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia who let the Russians through unopposed are an even smaller number. But all of them had wormed themselves into influential positions. Regarding Brexit. There is no way that UK would have led support for Ukraine if Brexit had not happened. UK under Boris Johnson literally embarrassed the EU and especially Germany into making real things happen. Without that, the appeasement beloved of Macon and Merkel would have been centre stage.
