hmm, according to the UN, 730 000 refugees from East Ukraine have crossed over into Russia:

730 000 represents 11% of the population of the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblast.
Apparently more refugees are seeking refuge in Russia then in Western Ukraine.
Now, here is what I don't get. According to the western media, USA, EU, etc., all the rebels in East Ukraine are Russians or on the Russian payroll and the local population is just waiting to be liberated by the Ukrainian military.
If that is true, why are more/most civilians seeking refuge in Russia?
