Most of the population of the occupied Donbass will assume Ukrainian power after its return under the control of Ukraine.

This was stated by the military journalist, coordinator of the group "Information Resistance" Konstantin Mashovets in an interview with "Apostrophe".

According to him, the majority of residents of certain regions of Donetsk and Lugansk regions - about 40% - because of the information passivity of Ukraine in the occupied territories, is more sympathetic to the Russian invaders and their accomplices.

However, Mashovets stressed, by and large, these people do not care what kind of power, what color the flag hangs over the city council.

"They do not care. At the moment they are more sympathetic to the separatists only because they seized power, control the territory and conduct an aggressive information policy in these territories. This is the only reason for support, "the journalist said..

He is sure that if tomorrow Ukrainian jurisdiction is restored in the occupied part of the Donbass, these people will sympathize already with the Ukrainian authorities.
