And it's not like other ethnic groups who don't have a homeland. The Russians have a massive homeland if they really don't want to live under Ukrainian control. This also isn't a Colony breaking away from the mother nation, as nearly every one has eventually done. This is a Secession like what the South did in 1861. Ukraine has every right to put down the rebellion just like we put down the Confederate States of America.
