In theory, this works but I wonder how many ethnic Ukrainians left that area and wouldn't be able to vote.
These referendums after wars are sometimes used as a tool to reward ethnic cleansing by disguising it as democracy after the fact.
The region also hasn't had a census in a long time and has open borders with Russia. They could easily load the demographics to get the result that they want.
