Protecting them from what... the legal repercussions of treason? They might be ethnic Russian, but they are still Ukrainian by nationality.
Should they (Ukrainians) have to tolerate Russian nationalism within their borders any more than Russia has to tolerate nationalism from minority groups in their borders (and we all know how much that is tolerated)? Or is this a case of 'might makes right"?
