There is a part of the population in the middle of the country more or less that is very mixed, but the majority of ones in the south/east part felt more russians and the ones in the west felt closer to Europe and hate Russia. Personally I just hope no more normal people get killed....

It was always a powder keg. The Maidan (pro-EU) guys just brought the fire
P.S. Most people in the States and the EU just have no clue what's going on there. The situation in Ukraine is not as simple is it's being shown by propagandist median like RT, CNN, Fox, BBC and other one-sided shit.
