My guess is that they think it's a geopolitical version of the whole "these protestors are outside agitators who came from a different state to cause anarchocommunistfascist chaos" thing that various people said during the BLM protests. Just flood Crimea or the Donbass with like a hundred thousand Russians and then when The Plan is ready, make them all simultaneously Yearn For Freedom so Russia can go "Ah, fiiiine, we'll help I guess!"
How do you believe that, look in the mirror, and not realise you're a total fucking crackpot? That's the bit I can never understand on a visceral level.
I encountered this in real life with my brother. I don't think it crossed his mind/was part of acceptable discourse to consider that people involved in a civil war with the Ukranian government for the past 8 years might not really dig the Ukranian government.

I'm interested in knowing to what extent people don't actually care if they're governed out of Moscow or Kiev.
