There is, of course, a certain proportion of the population who are pro-Russian, but they are usually over 60, are (platonically) nostalgic for the good old Soviet Union and are quite unlikely to take up arms. Grumpy uncle types. Prior to 2014, Russia actually has had closer relationship with the EU than Ukraine did.The moves by the EU to attract the Ukraine to its fold were obviously a bad idea given at how it would upset Moscow and the sizeable portion of the Ukrainian populace that are vehemently pro-Russian, so much so that they will take up arms for it.

What you see in the East are regular Russian troops, joined by paramilitaries from all over the world, and, sadly, local criminal gangs in it for a quick buck.
By the way, it was very encouraging to listen to a passionate pro-EU speech in Kiev earlier this week, which was remarkable in several ways:
(1) Ukraine was openly promised membership in the EU (for the first time in my memory);
(2) It was delivered by a prominent UKIP MEP;
(3) Who herself has recently appealed to the ECJ against the EWHC judgement (finding her guilty of libel and defamation).
You cannot make this stuff up, there even isn't a conspiracy theory that fits.
like him or loathe him you have to admit old nige is one hell of a public speaker,he puts many in the uk parliament to shame on speech making
He calls a spade a spade with total conviction and without fear but of course he has nothing to lose unlike the government who are trying to be all things to all men. If the people of this country hadn`t voted for the Glastonbury Boy at the last ill conceived election we would be in a much better position now.like him or loathe him you have to admit old nige is one hell of a public speaker,he puts many in the uk parliament to shame on speech making
