I don't really trust Wikipedia much. It has been manipulated for a long time and often chooses only sources for the narrative of the page author. Polls at this point have demonstrated themselves as unreliable and inaccurate.

The link was to offer a different perspective than the one prevailing this topic. I don't think it's so simple as Russia bad. There are a lot of information wars going on, not mention the posturing for constituents with shallow talking points.

It's never as simple as "<whoever> bad". But in the end it's (or perhaps should be) down to numbers: Wikipedia cites several sources which show that whatever citizen's preference between Ukraine or Russia might be, there was definitely no majority support for separation - not before and not after. Do you know sources that show opposite results?
