It’s Obvious that Russia wants to take over the area and uses pro Russians as a excuse when he can simply invite them back if they don’t like freedom and would rather be chasing a carrot on a stick.
It seems to me allowing this as well as be headings is just getting the fuel they need. A sort of psychology played on the people . If anything they should of took action to prevent it but guessing there was nothing in it for them.
