RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the disintegration of Ukraine with no evidence provided to support this claim. Crimea was illegally annexed by Russia. See a similar case: Crimea re-united with Russia on the basis of the will of Crimea’s citizens, and more examples here. Donbas region continues to fall under acts of aggression by the Russian military forces. See similar cases here. There is no evidence to suggest any administrative part of Ukraine wants to join Russia. According to the IRI survey conducted in March 2018, over 52% of Ukrainians would support membership in the EU. See similar case here.
