According to Reznikov, the attitude towards the war in Donbass among residents of different regions began to change when, during the operation of the Joint Forces (formerly ATO) people from these regions began to die.

In 2014, immediately after the annexation of Crimea, Russia launched an armed aggression in eastern Ukraine. The fighting is between the Ukrainian Armed Forces, on the one hand, and the Russian army, and the Russian-backed militants who control parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, on the other. Officially, the Russian Federation does not recognize its invasion of Ukraine, despite the facts and evidence presented by Ukraine.
According to a poll conducted on April 4-19 by the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, 53% of Ukrainians believe that the country’s borders should be restored at any cost, and Donetsk and Lugansk were returned to Ukraine on equal terms with other regions. According to 70% of respondents, the main reason that prevents the end of the war in eastern Ukraine is the unwillingness of the Russian authorities to end the conflict.–
