Not true at all. The older people in Ukraine from Crimea and eastern regions are pro Russia and consider themselves Russian. The younger Ukrainians from the western Ukraine identify with the west and want to align more European. Russia considers the whole thing the center of the creation of Russia and will most likely not tolerate splitting up the area. It's a real pickle for everyone and Russia has already implied it will go to war to preserve its hold on the area. The pussy Europeans will most likely let the Western Ukraines get hung by their yam sacks by Putin here shortly.
