    “Liberate”? From the fate of being constantly bombarded by the russians? Who am I kidding, they will continue to bombard it regardless.

      Eastern Ukraine generally supports Russia over Kiev, which is why the Ukrainian Civil War was going on for a decade prior to Russia’s entry. From most people’s perspective, this is liberation for them. The Ukrainian hardliners have generally moved westward, those that remain are generally waiting for Russia’s advance.
