As I see it with that thing - the main conflict is between the interest fractions fighting over the bits they want to have from this region (Ukraine as a whole).
In between all this you have the normal citizens, but which, as I got the impression, also have their small interest in this thing being on because from Kiev they couldn't be expected to live as they want and be treated with human dignity at the same time.
So... it seems to me like there is no other way than to fight. Regardless of who sits in the background and wants to play his games.
In the end... when there are guys from one of those Nazi battailons standing before you, eager to kill you, you can't care less than doing what it takes to save your own skin. Let alone when knowing there are more of them out there wanting to do the same to others that live around you...

For the PS: Ah, crap. This went really fast!
Guess they've done that because they saw how fast it happened that some of their citizens changed the platforms as soon as the new ToS came out.
See if that stays so when the peak of the exodus is over.
