Do referendum margins for Luhansk (98.42%), Zaporizhzhia (93.11%), Kherson (87.05%), and Donetsk (99.23%) really look all that different?
No.
They've been voting pro-Russia by similar margins for a LONG time. Modest increases after what's happened since 2014 isn't far fetched.

Simply because someone points out the sentiment in that region doesn't make them "pro-Putin".
But the reality is that the referendum region IS pro-Putin and to pretend otherwise and ignore why, both their ethnic ties & the atrocities they've endured, is just blind foolishness.
