DPR Civilians On Why They Wanted A Referendum To Join Russia

My overview of the DPR referendum to join Russia. It s mainly the people themselves talking, over the course of 5 days, including doortodoor voting (no, not at gunpoint) and voting in voting stations on the 5th day. Western commentators would do well to listen to them (but we know they won t). Summary: they waited 8 years for this they are tired of being bombed by Ukraine, they want peace feel joining Russia will bring this they were not intimidated or forced to vote, many (like Syrians) faced potential shelling in order to do so, many volunteered in order to ensure the referendum went ahead they ve long since given up caring what western commentators news say about them (the same who whitewashed Ukraine s 8+ years of war crimes against the civilians of the Donbass).
