The Kremlin is trying to change the demographics in the occupied territories by importing migrants from Central Asia to replace the indigenous Ukrainian population and plans to merge Ukrainian and Russian regions to create a “Donbas” commonwealth, according to reports.

According to the Center for National Resistance (CNR), the total number of migrants from Asia has already exceeded 100 thousand people.

“Most of them work in construction, but in the future, the Russians plan to mobilize them in exchange for citizenship,” the CNR reports.

The Ukrainian underground also says that such a massive influx of migrants has already provoked a deterioration in the crime situation in the occupied regions and led to the creation of ethnic criminal groups.

    You can see some of the future Russian MO forming now. Plop down an ethnic identity spanning two distinct regions, then when Russia gets kicked out they have a flash point (split C. Asian commonwealth) ready to go, and if not like the article says they have a poorly rooted population perfect for conscription. Even the deteriorating social situation isn’t that much of a problem, makes for more desperate volunteers.
